Support › MB Elementor Integrator › Metabox Group Skin - Elementor Template
Hello -
I have a front-end form that collects social media URLs in a sub-group. I need to display these in a CPT and so created a MetaBox Group Skin.
I can't find any documentation on the MetaBox Group Skin, so I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong - any ideas?
Here's what I've done:
Note: When I *don't* select a skin, I can see a list the URLs on the page, but they are not clickable.
Then, I create the skin:
Then go back to the CPT, select the new skin to display the Meta Box Group with, and hit save.
Result: If I try to show using the skin, nothing shows on the front end.
If I add the skin using the Elementor Shortcode, it displays the skin, but the URLs return "Array"
Note: If I add the the Meta Box group widget in the CPT and do not select a skin, the URL text does show up on the front-end, but they are not clickable. It just says "Array"
Thank you for your help.
Hi,
Please notice that the helper function rwmb_meta()
or integrator supports showing raw URL (text) on the frontend as a link to click.
To show the URL field value in a button/link, you need to assign it to the attribute href
of the <a>
tag to make it clickable. Just like
<a href="<?php echo rwmb_meta( 'field_url_id' ) ?>">Button Link</a>
Hi Long - thanks for that, but I'm not totally following.
How do I assign it when creating a MetaBox group skin?
I'm specifically trying to use the Social Media Widget from Elementor

Hi,
It looks like the subfield URL value is not added to the link
field of Elementor. I will inform the development team to consider supporting this case in future updates.
Meantime, please use the URL as a top field to get the link dynamically.
