Hi

I use VPC-Configurator that uses one page to display different configurations.

e.g Page ID 5000 shows configurator ID, 1001 1002 1003 etc depending on the product its linked to.

Metabox can be linked to VPC-Configurator as a custom post type, but I am struggling to link the output to a specific configuration.

I have been able to identify the code for the configurator ID

$configurator_id = apply_filters($this->product->get_id(), $this->config->id);

So in the example of a text field:-
```
<?php $value = rwmb_meta( 'my_field_id' ) ?>
<p>Entered: <?= $value ?></p>
```
How do I combine the $configurator_id with the metabox, to get that configurator ID's metabox output? I have tried various combinations but its just breaking the configurator output entirely.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can pass the configurator ID as the third argument of the helper function rwmb_meta() to get the field value of a specific post.

rwmb_meta( 'my_field_id', '', $configurator_id );

Read more on the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/functions/rwmb-meta/

Thank you that sorted it! It wasnt working at first because I'd changed the fieldname to something random after I had put the metabox entry on the configurator post, but I went into the postmeta and changed it to the renamed one and it works a dream!!!! Thank you
