Hi folks,
I wondered if anyone knows if this is possible with Metabox & Brick Builder?

I have about 500 CPTs with each detailing a Corian work surface. I want to create a sample request form for customers to select a sample colour/finish based on not only the name in a selection field but also a thumbnail of the CPT featured image.

In Fluent Forms I can use a "Post/CPT Selection" field to pull back the CPTs into a dropdown selection, but I would like to add the image as well.

I am not a coder, but I tried to get ChatGPT to help me and I thought I was part way there, but alas not.

As Metabox is king of the databases can it undertake this task?

I originally suggested Woo to the client, but they said no as they were not doing samples. Once the site was done they said they wanted to provide samples!!!!

Hello Andy,

Meta Box supports a field to select posts of a CPT but it does not support displaying the feature image in the selection like that.
https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/

If you are familiar with coding, you can create your own field type by following the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/creating-new-field-types/

Peter,

Thanks for that. I know postcodes and zip codes, so it cannot be too different!

I'll have a blast doing it as the data is in there; we must draw it out.

I'll feed the page text you directed me to into ChatGPT and see if it throws out an answer!!!
