Support › Meta Box Tabs › Meta box tabs in a custom post type
Is it possible to insert meta box tabs in a specific content post type.
I've been looking in the example :
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function ( $meta_boxes ) {
// 1st Meta Box
$meta_boxes[] = array(
'title' => 'Meta Box Tabs Demo',
// List of tabs, in one of the following formats:
// 1) key => label
// 2) key => array( 'label' => Tab label, 'icon' => Tab icon )
'tabs' => array(
'contact' => array(
'label' => 'Contact',
'icon' => 'dashicons-email', // Dashicon
),
'social' => array(
'label' => 'Social Media',
'icon' => 'dashicons-share', // Dashicon
),
'note' => array(
'label' => 'Note',
'icon' => 'https://i.imgur.com/nJtag1q.png', // Custom icon, using image
),
),
// Tab style: 'default', 'box' or 'left'. Optional
'tab_style' => 'default',
// Show meta box wrapper around tabs? true (default) or false. Optional
'tab_wrapper' => true,
'fields' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Name',
'id' => 'name',
'type' => 'text',
// Which tab this field belongs to? Put tab key here
'tab' => 'contact',
),
array(
'name' => 'Email',
'id' => 'email',
'type' => 'email',
'tab' => 'contact',
),
array(
'name' => 'Facebook',
'id' => 'facebook',
'type' => 'text',
'tab' => 'social',
),
array(
'name' => 'Note',
'id' => 'note',
'type' => 'textarea',
'tab' => 'note',
),
),
);
This will work in post if added to functions.php ... but if we try to use it in a custom post type the metabox will appear but the fields will not.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Philippe,
You need to add the meta box ID and post type settings when registering the meta box. For example:
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function ( $meta_boxes ) {
$meta_boxes[] = [
'title' => 'Event details',
'post_types' => 'event', //here
'id' => 'my-meta-box-id', //here
'fields' => [
...
],
];
return $meta_boxes;
} );
