Meta Box

ah well i thought it was supported on the front end, no worries, thats a shame, what action/hooks could i use to create a custom script for myself to make this work on the front end? thanks

Hi, I am not using Metabox AIO? im been using this setup for the last few years. So is the metabox main plugin 'wpackagist-plugin/meta-box' not have the updates anymore?

"require": {
    "wpackagist-plugin/meta-box": "dev-trunk",
    "wpackagist-plugin/meta-box-text-limiter": "dev-trunk",
    "meta-box/mb-admin-columns": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-blocks": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-custom-table": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-frontend-submission": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-settings-page": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-user-meta": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/mb-user-profile": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/meta-box-conditional-logic": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/meta-box-group": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/meta-box-tabs": "dev-master",
    "meta-box/meta-box-columns": "dev-master",
 }

thanks

ah i can see why this is not working.

i needed to remove the edit="true" from the shorcode. I guess when passing a url param i dont need to have this enabled as im already editing the form. thanks

In older version's it used to keep the data in the form (using ajax) and for the client to finish off entering the rest of the required field data.

does this happen for all fields or just cloneable ones?

This would be bad for larger forms where it could take e.g. 10 minutes to fill out a form and a client missed one field value and validated with an error, then they will have to start over.

Hi Peter,

In regards to issue #2 the form details are earlier in this post.

So im using this shortcode
[mb_frontend_form id="dcp-payment-gateways" confirmation="Updated" ajax="true" object_type="model" edit="true"]

then in the browser i go to the page and enter the object_id in the url paramater
http://localhost/dcplatform/payment-gateways/?rwmb_frontend_field_object_id=5

You can see my database with one entry

What else can i provide you with?

thanks

Im setting a few fields values, but the cloneable groups always has an empty value included, as i know this is hidden and user for the front end. But the rwmb_request()->set_post_data( $_POST ); is obviously setting the empty group as a value. So there is a conflict between the timing of the cleanup. But also the cleanup could also be changed to detect empty cloneable groups and remove them?

Hi Peter,

sorry you may have misunderstood my query, when i say Author i mean that the person who made the custom entry is the only user who can edit there posts. Is there any stored information about the author i can use to hide the custom table entry if they are not the author of the post?
