Meta Box

I have an update, I have figured out why its doing this, basically i wrapped a few of my metabox forms with is_admin() check. So when i remove is_admin() the config ID outputs correctly in rwmb_frontend_validate.

I was told if i wrapped a form with if ( ! is_admin() ) i could hide the form from the admin area. So ideally would like to keep this in if possible.

if ( ! is_admin() ) {
		
	global $wpdb;

	$meta_boxes[] = [
		'title'   => 'Filter Products',
		'post_types' => 'product',
		'storage_type' => 'custom_table',
		'table'        => $wpdb->prefix . 'dc_products', 
		'id'      => 'dc-product-filtering',
		'context' => 'normal',
		'fields'  => ...............
	];
}

ok so when you add more than one field group IDs to the shortcode, tabs are then not supported

hi

ok so if i add a tab for the whole form for 'meta-box-id-1' and the same for 'meta-box-id-2' etc. Then when i add them to the shortcode they will all appear as tabs? i assume the first declared field group will be displayed first.

ok thanks anyway

Hi Peter,

Ok is there a way to put the form on a hidden page and call it using a iframe? so basically a metabox form form on a hidden php page?

thanks

Hi

Ok but the reason i found out after testing to why it dont work with custom tables without registered models is that the database table ID column is not created with auto increment enabled. This is controlled via metabox so i assume there is no pragmatic way to alter this?

when i manually changed the ID column to be auto increment the \MetaBox\CustomTable\API::add works ok.

thanks

Hi Peter

I am working on a project locally and do not have it available online yet. Are you unable to replicate it?
