rwmb_set_meta in for Settings page field

Hi,

The function rwmb_set_meta() will be included in the next release. At this time, please try to use the function update_option() to update the settings page option.

Here is the sample code

add_action( 'init', function() {
    $settings_page = get_option( 'generalsettings' ); // the settings page ID
    $settings_page['idgeneratedcdn'] = 1000; // the field ID
    update_option( 'generalsettings', $settings_page ); // update
} );

For more information, please follow the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_option/

Hi,
just found that thread here and I'm facing a similiar problem.

I tried to use the rwmb_set_meta() function for updating a value in a setting page. Unfortunately that value doesn't get updated. Refering to your docs (Docs) i used the option_name as object_id.

That's what my options-page looks like:

function wcmvw_settingsPage_register($settings_pages) {
    global $vendorNames;
    //$vendorNames = get_option( 'wcmvw_settings' )['wcmvw_settings_vendorName'];
    $settings_pages[] = [
        'id'            => 'wcmvw_settings',
        'option_name'   => 'wcmvw_settings',
        'menu_title'    => __( 'Rechnungen', 'wcmvw' ),
        'position'      => 0,
        'parent'        => '',
        'style'         => 'no-boxes',
        'columns'       => 1,
        'tabs'          => [
            'wcmvw_settings_general'   => 'Allgemeine Einstellungen',
        ],
        'tab_style'     => 'left',
        'submit_button' => __( 'Änderungen speichern', 'wcmvw' ),
        'message'       => __( 'Änderungen wurden gespeichert!', 'wcmvw' ),
        'icon_url'      => 'dashicons-admin-generic',
    ];
    // Add Tabs dynamically!
    foreach ($vendorNames as $vendor) {
        $settings_pages[0]['tabs'] += [ str_replace(" ", "_", $vendor) => $vendor];
    }
    return $settings_pages;   
}

And that's what that specific kind of code looks like:

$settings_page = get_option('wcmvw_settings');
      $settings_page[$vendorInOrder[$i] . '_wcmvw_invoiceNumberGeneral_field'] = $vendorNextInvoiceNumber+1;
      update_option('wcmvw_settings', $settings_page);
      //rwmb_set_meta( 'wcmvw_settings', $vendorInOrder[$i] . '_wcmvw_invoiceNumberGeneral_field' , 'test' );

I've commented it out since the "native" option as suggested from you works fine for now. But i would, of course, prefer to use rwmb_set_meta here.

Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in Advance!
Cheers!

Hi,

The helper function rwmb_set_meta() is not working with the settings page. I've informed the development team to fix this issue in the next update. For now, you can use the WordPress function update_option() to update the field value on the settings page.

Hi Dom,

It was fixed. You can try to use this sample code

add_action( 'init', function() {
    $option_name = 'my_option';
    $field_id = 'my_field';
    $value = 'My custom value';
    rwmb_set_meta( $option_name, $field_id, $value, [ 'object_type' => 'setting' ] );
}, 99 );

Refer to the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/rwmb-set-meta/#examples
