Support › MB Custom Table › Same metabox fields in diferents CPT and diferents Custom TablesResolved
Hello, I have a metabox fields that are the same fields in some CPT.
Is for that, that I write this:
'post_types' => array( 'local' , 'negocio' ),
But I want use MB Custom table, each table to each CPT, for this reason I write this:
'storage_type' => 'custom_table', // Important
'table' => array( 'locales' , 'negocios' ),
But I think that 'table' not supported the array field.
It's is posible to do this?
Or I have to duplicate the metabox fieds?
$meta_boxes[] = array (
'id' => 'location',
'title' => 'Códigos Post',
'post_types' => array( 'local' , 'negocio' ), //$post_types,
'context' => 'after_title',
'style' => 'seamless',
'priority' => 'high',
'geo' => array(
'types' => array( 'establishment' )
),
'storage_type' => 'custom_table', // Important
'table' => array( 'locales' , 'negocios' ), //'locales', // Your custom table name
'fields' => array(
// Address field.
array(
Thanks.
Hello,don't worry about this, I created the own metabox fields for each custom table.
Thanks.
Hello, sorry, I would like to reopen this thread.
To see if I can save the fields of a metabox in different tables of the database in function of the cpt that is. Is that if I do not have to triple or quadruple many metabox fields ...
Thanks.
Hi,
I think to remove the duplicated code, you can store all the fields in a variable $fields
and set it for 2 meta boxes (each for each post type):
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {
$fields = []; // your fields
$meta_boxes[] = [
'post_types' => 'post_type_1',
'custom_table' => 'table_1',
'fields' => $fields,
];
$meta_boxes[] = [
'post_types' => 'post_type_1',
'custom_table' => 'table_1',
'fields' => $fields,
];
return $meta_boxes;
} );
That way, you don't have to repeat a large part of code. Also see this tutorial.
What a good solution, I loved it, much easier to manage and with many fewer lines of code.
Thank you.
