    First of all I'm a novice so bear with me please, I need help displaying a group in a template. I set up the metabox with cloneable group which works fine:

    $meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id'         => 'initiatives',
		'title'      => __( 'Initiatives', 'test' ),
		'post_types' => array( 'page' ),
		'context'    => 'normal',
		'priority'   => 'high',
		'show'   => array(
	            'relation'    => 'OR',
	            'template'    => array( 'template-regions-home.php' ),           
			),
		'autosave'   => true,
		'fields'     => array(
		//Group
			array(
				'id'     => 'initiatives_group',
				'name'   => __( 'Initiatives', 'test' ),
				'type'   => 'group', // Group type
				'clone'  => true,    // Can be cloned?
				// List of child fields
				'fields' => array(
					
			array(
				'name'    => __( 'Initiative Title', 'test' ),
				'id'      => 'initiative_title',
				'type'    => 'text',
			),
			array(
				'name' => __( 'Initiative Featured Image', 'test' ),
				'id'   => "initiative_image",
				'type' => 'file_input',
			),
					)
);
	return $meta_boxes;
}

    I'm stuck how to display them in my template in rows like this, can someone please provide a working example based on above how to make this work?:

    function initiatives_box() {	
$group_value = rwmb_meta( 'initiatives_group' ); ?>

<div class="the_image"><img src="<?php echo rwmb_meta( 'initiative_image' ); ?>"></div>
<div class="the_title"><?php echo rwmb_meta( 'initiative_title' ); ?></div>
	}

    Can you try this code:

    $group_value = rwmb_meta( 'initiatives_group' );
foreach ( $group_value as $row_value )
{
    echo '<div class="the_image"><img src="' . $row_value['initiative_image'] . '"></div>
        <div class="the_title">' . $row_value['initiative_title'] . '</div>';
}

    Is it possible the return the value of a select_advanced field with multiple => true so it shows multiple page links selected?

    I have:

    array(
				'name'        => __( 'Inititavie Links', 'test' ),
				'id'          => "intiative_links",
				'type'        => 'post',
				'post_type'   => 'page',
				'field_type'  => 'select_advanced',
				'multiple'    => true,
				'placeholder' => __( 'Select an Item', 'test' ),
				'query_args'  => array(
					'post_status'    => 'publish',
					'posts_per_page' => - 1,
				)
			),

    Is something like this possible?:

    $group_value = rwmb_meta( 'initiatives_group' );
foreach ( $group_value as $row_value )
{
    echo '<div class="the_image"><img src="' . $row_value['initiative_image'] . '"></div>
        <div class="the_title">' . $row_value['initiative_title'] . '</div>
        <div class="the_links">' . $row_value['intiative_links'] . '</div>';
}

    Yes, it's possible. If you set multiple to true, then the value of $row_value['intiative_links'] will be an array, you need to loop through it to output the result:

    $group_value = rwmb_meta( 'initiatives_group' );
foreach ( $group_value as $row_value )
{
    echo '<div class="the_image"><img src="' . $row_value['initiative_image'] . '"></div>
        <div class="the_title">' . $row_value['initiative_title'] . '</div>';
    echo '<div class="the_links">';
    foreach ( $row_value['intiative_links'] as $id )
    {
         echo '<a href="' . get_permalink( $id ) . '">' . get_the_title( $id ) . '</a>';
    }
    echo '</div>';
}
