Meta Box

Hi:

Thanks. I actually want to add a class around a group of fields already inside the metabox. Adding the class on the metabox affects all fields. I want to add the class only around one or more groups of fields inside the metabox.

The only solution I was able to arrive at for this was to directly modify the metabox-columns plugin.

I modified it to accept two more values in the metabox array of fields "column_row_before" and "column_row_after" which allows for injection of the field class before and after any field 'row' without automatically closing up starting div.

I was hoping to be able to submit that as a PR against your repo but it's not a public repo.

There's probably a smarter way to do it - maybe by wrapping things the way the metabox group module works. But didn't want to spend that much time figuring that out.

Here's an image of the code changes for anyone interested.

Thanks.

Actually, I can't find any of the html filters mentioned on these documentation pages:

https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-outer-html/
https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-wrapper-html/
https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-begin-html/
https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-end-html/
https://docs.metabox.io/filters/rwmb-html/

Thanks.

Hi:

I think something got lost in translation.

I'm looking to wrap a SUBSET of fields with a custom div. So, something like this.

// CUSTOM HTML
array(
    'type' => 'custom_html',
    'std' => __( '<div class="myclass">', 'my-metaboxes' ),
    'id'   => 'myid',
),

/* Some fields here... */

// CUSTOM HTML
array(
    'type' => 'custom_html',
    'std' => __( '</div>', 'my-metaboxes' ),
    'id'   => 'myid2', 
),

You'll notice that the fields specifed by 'some fields here' are being wrapped in a custom div.
That's the effect I've trying to achieve.

I don't think the suggested use of the rwmb_subfieldID_wrapper_html filter will allow for this?

Thanks!

Hi:

Thanks for the response. Is there a feature or module in metabox.io that does do that?

Thanks.

Hi:

Thanks. Unfortunately, that still doesn't work.

When I echo the value out to the error log, it looks like the filter is called four times.

The first two times, the values are correct.

The last two times the values are empty.

Would appreciate any other ideas you have.

Maybe I should only define the metaboxes if the post id is greater than zero? Would that have any side effects?

Thanks!

Hi:

I see there's a new release for the tabs add-on but I can't find a change log. Do you know if this issue was fixed? And what other issues were fixed (if any?)

Thanks.

Actually, I figured it out. Gah.
This was definitely user error.
You can close this topic.
Thanks!
