Support › Meta Box Group › Kadence Dynamic Content with Mete Box GroupResolved
Hello,
I would like some support on how to show group data fields where the Sub Field is cloneable.
Ex.
Group
Title 1
Content 1
Title 2
Content 2
I am currently using the Kadence Dynamic Content where it's using custom field and getting the Meta Key to show the fields data. What is the custom meta Key for this.
Hi,
Meta Box is not compatible with Kadence Block yet. So I think it's not possible to show subfield value in this plugin. But you can create a custom shortcode to do that, please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#outputing-group-with-page-builders
When will be compatible with Kadence? We waiting more than a year... You promise this!
Kadence seems to be leading the way with their Dynamic Content and Conditional Display settings on their Row Layouts, Sections, and Advanced Text blocks. Metabox custom fields already show up as selectable custom fields for these blocks.
I asked Kadence if they are supporting Metabox.io since I was having problems using MB image fields with Kadence image blocks. They replied they are focusing on ACF to start with and don't know when they will officially support MB 🙁
I wonder if you reach out to Kadence maybe the integration could be accelerated?
Possible workarounds?
I suppose I could use MB Blocks to create a custom block and just drop that into my FSE Template to use instead of a Group of Kadence blocks to display all of my various custom MB fields that are not currently supported by Kadence. You have a nice tutorial for that, but as a non-coder, it looks a bit daunting.
I found that I could use MB Views to create shortcodes that I can use in a standard Shortcode Block to display MB Checkbox values. But with potentially multiple values selected, can you give me a hint how I might introduce a separator character between values but not at the end of the list.
For example I added a comma to this View at the end of line 2
{% for item in post.region %}
{{ item.value }},
{% endfor %}
But that approach leaves a trailing separator (comma or dash) at the end of the list. For example see the Region and Group values displayed here: https://ashevillealexanderte-fse.sitedistrict.com/teacher/erik-bendix/
Simple text custom fields work fine with Kadence Dynamic Content blocks though so I don't need to do anything except pick the MB custom field from the list for those.
Kadence is now supporting some Metabox fields. I've had luck using the Kadence Advanced Text Dynamic Link to pick from a dropdown of custom fields including text and checklist. Their new Dynamic List block is also working great to display MB checkbox fields.
I'm having a problem with cloneable textarea fields with the Advanced Text block though the MB WYSIWYG field (including clones) does work.
Radio fields work with the Advanced Text block.
So progress is being made. https://ashevillealexanderte-fse.sitedistrict.com/teacher/shellie-beth-cash/ is an example of MB custom fields to collect the data and Kadence Blocks Pro to display them.
