Meta Box

Hi,

Can you please share the code that creates the settings page and custom fields on your site? Refer to this documentation to show images from the settings page https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-settings-page/#getting-field-value

Hi Tony,

Let me answer your questions.

1. When the user submits, the submission will be pending but the user will get notified of the submission via email.
Yes, it is possible. You can follow this documentation to know how to do with coding
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#form-actions

2. and also when the post gets approved
You can also create a custom function to send an email to the user after you approve the post.

3. All the user to edit their post without the user profile/dashboard.
No, if they do not edit the post on the frontend dashboard, they can edit their posts on the backend (admin area).

4. Have a multi-step form
The frontend submit does not support showing multi-step form.

5. Style it better - Remove or don't need unnecessary fields.
You can customize the form on your own with custom CSS code. Create a new field group with necessary fields and put the field group ID to the frontend submission shortcode to show on the form.

Hi Roma,

You can switch to the tab Text and add the shortcode, remember to remove two spaces between open and close square brackets. Screenshot https://imgur.com/wu5DRpf

Hi,

You should use the code to get the current post ID when registering the meta box and custom fields. The builder does not support doing that.

Refer to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/get-the-post-id-as-value/
and this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/fields/post/

Hi,

It's so weird. The field itself does not support parsing the shortcode to the HTML code like that. Please try to deactivate all plugins except Meta Box, MB extensions, switch to the standard theme of WordPress then re-check this issue.

You can create the custom shortcode by following this documentation https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API

Hi,

Yes, it is possible. You can add this meta box ID testimonials and settings to the frontend submission shortcode to create testimonials on the frontend. And please make sure that you do not have other meta boxes with these IDs.

For example:

[mb_frontend_form id="testimonials,settings" post_type="mb-testimonials" post_fields="title"]

Hi,

No, the extension MB Testimonials does not support adding star rating and showing the rich snippet on the frontend like other star rating plugins.

Hi,

If you use this View code

<section style="background-color:#D5F5E3; padding: 40px 20px 20px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: #2ECC71; border-top-width: 5px;">
<h2>
    Recent Jobs at {{ post.title }}
</h2>
{% set job_args = { post_type: 'job', posts_per_page: 5, relationship: {id: '69', to: post.ID} } %}
    {% set jobs = mb.get_posts( job_args ) %}
    {% for job in jobs %}
            <li><a href="{{ mb.get_the_permalink( job.ID ) }}"><strong>{{ job.post_title }}</strong></a></li>
        {% endfor %}
        <p style="padding-top: 30px;">
        <strong>For other related Jobs, please visit <a href="https://nviewscareer.com/job/">Jobs</a></strong>
    </p>
    </section>

You have to assign the location to the Employer emp post type.

And if you use the shortcode [jobs-by-employers], please make sure that it is put in a loop to query the Employer emp posts.

Just to make sure that post.ID or get_the_ID() will return an current/available emp post ID.
