Metabox hidden using the same id

Hi catarinacarraro,

Thanks for your question, unfortunately, we're currently not support that feature yet. We'll mention it to think a way to improve our Conditional Logic.

Thanks and Best Regards.

Hi man,

Thanks again for sharing your idea.

Basically, Conditional Logic is the extension to show or hide meta box fields or whole meta box. Each field or meta box id is unique, so we cannot registered two fields or meta boxes at a same time.

That feature which you've requested is to change the field options (or values) when the conditional is meet, currently, we don't support it but as a great idea, we'll try to implement this feature on the next major update, about late August.

Best regards

Hi Cararina,

Sorry for long response, we're still in progress to improving Conditional Logic. As this plugin uses Javascript to handle visibility of object and have to check many field conditional to generate results so it's hard to implements now. In your case, we'll have two ways to make it works natively:

1. Save it as cel_product_apple, cel_product_android or cel_product_windowsphone in DB then use fone_id to check what's field to output.

2. Save cel_product_apple, cel_product_android or cel_product_windowsphone in DB, then create another hidden field named cel_product, when post is saved, we also save the visible field to cel_product as an serialized array, then use unserialize function to show up.

Example (2),

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes )
{
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id' 			=> 'brand_product',
		'title' 		=> 'Brands and Products',
		'post_types' 	=> array( 'post', 'page' ),
		'context'		=> 'normal',
		'priority'		=> 'high',
		'fields' => array(
			array(
				'id'	=> 'fone_id',
				'name'	=> 'Brand',
				'desc'	=> 'Pick Your Favourite Brand',
				'type'	=> 'select',
				'options' => array(
					'apple' 		=> 'Apple',
					'android' 		=> 'Android',
					'windowsphone' 	=> 'WindowsPhone'
				)
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product',
				'type' 	=> 'hidden',
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_apple',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('iPhone', 'iPad', 'iPod'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'apple' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_android',
				'name'	=> 'Select your android product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('Galaxy', 'ZenPhone', 'Tablet'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'android' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_windowsphone',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array( 'Nokia', 'Galaxy' ),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'windowsphone' )
			)
		)
	);
	return $meta_boxes;
} );

add_action('rwmb_before_save_post', function($post_id)
{
	// Get person ID to save from "Select a Customer" field
	$metabox_to_save = $_POST['fone_id'];

	// Save related field to phone field
	if ( ! empty( $_POST["cel_product_{$metabox_to_save}"] ) )
		$_POST['cel_product'] = serialize( $_POST["cel_product_{$metabox_to_save}"] );

	// Clear all hidden meta boxes
	foreach ( array('apple', 'android', 'windowsphone') as $field )
	{
		if ( $field !== $metabox_to_save )
			unset( $_POST["cel_product_{$field}"] );
	}
} );

To retrieve values in front end, just use:

$cel_products = unserialize( rwmb_meta('cel_product') );
