    Hey!

    Is there no way to get the image select as an array?

    rwmb_the_value returns an unordered list,
    rwmb_meta/rwmb_get_value returns the saved database value

    So we only have the options to display an ul with the images selected, but can't modify e.g. the class of the or just the label but not the url.

    Is there no way to return something like this?

    [
'choice 1' => '/url/to/image.png',
'choice 2' => '/url/to/image2.png',
'choice 3' => '/url/to/image3.png',
]

    Seems strange to me or am i missing something?

    Is that the only way?

    
$selectedOptions = rwmb_meta('field_id', '', $post_id);
$allOptions = rwmb_get_field_settings('field_id', '', $post_id)['options'];
$imgs = array_intersect($selectedOptions, array_keys($allOptions));
foreach ($imgs as $img) {
echo '<img src="' . $allOptions[$img] . '" style="width: 100px; height: 100px; object-fit:contain;"
loading="lazy">';
}

    Hi,

    The field image_select works like the field radio or checkbox, which means it saves the value to the database and uses images for friendly selection. If you want to get the label of the selection (image URL), please use the helper function rwmb_get_field_settings() like your sample code.

    Thank you for your reply!

    Would be good if there would be an option to save the labels/url as well. For now it seems overly complicated and the image select field seems to be only for cosmetic purposes and not really for "selecting images"(atleast, if you have value => url)

    Have a great day!
