ParticipantThank you for offering to check it for me.
However,
this is the Frontend Dashboard code on my site: [mb_frontend_dashboard edit_page=”1303″].
What else are you interested in checking?
If you have a plan for checking other items, why not tell me what you're considering & that way I can learn too?By the way, this is a multisite installation. Could that make a difference?

ParticipantRe your screen record:
Isn’t that exactly what I’ve done & documented above?
You’re telling me it works for you;
I’m showing you that I’m following your instructions & it’s not working for me.Can you please tell me what is incorrect in the short codes that I’ve documented above?

ParticipantLong, thanks.
So I've changed the shortcode to:
[mb_frontend_dashboard edit_page="1303"].It still doesn't work.
It lists the standard posts.It looks like the [mb_frontend_dashboard] shortcode does grab the correct fields & custom fields from the [mb_frontend_form] shortcode, but it does not grab the correct post type.
Have you tested this with a custom post?

ParticipantLong, thanks.
I've done that & it works great for creating the custom post.
Please see:
This shortcode is in page "scrapecreateform3"
[mb_frontend_form id="scrapecreatefromfg"
post_type="scrapecreateform" post_fields="title"]However, the dashboard does not show the custom posts; it only shows the standard posts.
I've tried both:
[mb_frontend_dashboard post_type="scrapecreateform" edit_page="scrapecreateform3"]
&
[mb_frontend_dashboard edit_page="scrapecreateform3"]To repeat, it looks like the problem is with the
shortcode [mb_frontend_dashboard]March 31, 2020 at 10:32 AM in reply to: ✅get the value of a custom field from a cpt when not using "the loop" #18770jpascale
ParticipantLong, thank you for the quick response.
I hope this makes things clearer.$invoices = array( array( 'customernumber' => '101', 'invoicenumber' => 1, 'invoiceamount' => 100 ), array( 'customernumber' => '213', 'invoicenumber' => 2, 'invoiceamount' => 95 ), array( 'customernumber' => '107', 'invoicenumber' => 3, 'invoiceamount' => 107 ) ); Custom Post Type: Customer File Title: 101 Name: John Doe Address: 123 Main Street Phone: 901-123-4567 Title: 107 Name: Jane Smith Address: 787 Oak Street Phone: 212-356-4512 Title: 213 Name: Mary Jones Address: 6642 Hawthorne Road Phone: 749-878-3674 I need to display: customer number: 101 invoice number: 1 invoice amount: $100 Name: John Doe Address: 123 Main Street Phone: 901-123-4567 customer number: 213 invoice number: 2 invoice amount: $95 Name: Mary Jones Address: 6642 Hawthorne Road Phone: 749-878-367Thanks, James

ParticipantI get it know.
Thanksjpascale
ParticipantAnh, hi!
This is the thread I'm talking about when I said "I couldn’t understand that conversation well enough to understand when someone would need to create a custom storage":
https://support.metabox.io/topic/custom-db-table-integration/I realize my question is rather open-ended; so if this is too broad a topic for you to explain, I understand.
Thanks,
Jamesjpascale
ParticipantGot it.
Thanks.jpascale
ParticipantAnh, please disregard. I found my error.

ParticipantQuestion #2: Wherever it is that you store the configuration code defining a metabox that is built using MB Builder, is it possible to use this metabox configuration as a starting point for use in MB Builder on a different site?
jpascale
ParticipantAnh, if I go to Tab: Code Export, it says that 1 of the 2 reasons to use the code snippet: "Improve the performance since the meta box is loaded directly from your file. To use this, the easiest way is copy whole snippet to your theme functions.php."
If I DON'T do this, where is the meta box stored & loaded from?
jpascale
ParticipantAnh, great! Thanks for the quick response!
Jamesjpascale
Participantthanks.

Participantjcleaveland, welcome to the conversation.
Anh, thank you for the detailed explanation of rwnb_get_storage(). I think I understand, except I don't understand an earlier thread (3/7/18) between you & jcleaveland where I believe you recommended creating a custom storage. I couldn't understand that conversation well enough to understand when someone would need to create a custom storage.jpascale
ParticipantAnh Tran, thank you for the clarification. So, just to make sure, I would only use the Integrator if I am using custom fields that are either clone or multiple fields (or both).
So, if none of my custom fields are clone or multiple, then I don't need to include & activate the Integrator extension?
Thanks, James -
