Meta Box

Hi,

Do you mean to create custom blocks with block fields (inputs) and save the block fields data as the custom fields in the table wp_postmeta?

Please follow the documentation
https://metabox.io/plugins/mb-blocks/
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-blocks/#storage_type

Hi Tobias,

Use JavaScript code to get the subfield value in a group to calculate is very complicated. The subfield in a group will have an ID like groupID_subfieldID, does not the same as the sample code above. This screen record is an example https://www.loom.com/share/3ec2a43e6dc24cc8ba5e86474d17965d

Then you will need to create more code if the group field is cloneable. You can contact us here https://metabox.io/contact/ to create a service request for this case. I will assign it to the developer team, they will estimate the job and get back to you with a quote.

Hi,

The builder helps you to create meta boxes and custom fields with the default settings. If you want to add the dynamic value or advanced cases, you have to use the code.

FYI, the function get_current_user_id() is a WordPress function, please find it here https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_current_user_id/

The option is added in the new version of MB Relationships 1.10.6 and MB AIO 1.14.1

This issue has been fixed in the new version of Meta Box, please update it.

Hi,

You can use the setting std to set the default value for a field. For example

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';
    $user_id = get_current_user_id();

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        ...
        'fields'       => [
            [
                'name'          => __( 'Editor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'            => $prefix . 'vob_editor',
                'type'          => 'user',
                'field_type'    => 'select_advanced',
                'multiple'      => true,
                'required'      => true,
                'admin_columns' => [
                    'position'   => 'after date',
                    'title'      => 'Editor',
                    'sort'       => true,
                    'searchable' => true,
                    'filterable' => true,
                ],
                'std' => $user_id, //here
            ],
        ],
        ...
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
}

Hi,

Currently, there is no option to duplicate a field group in the Builder. But you can export and re-import a field group to duplicate it. Please follow this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import
