Meta Box

Hi,

I got the issue. The function is_singular( 'event' ) still check if the template available on the theme templates, please remove this code.

if ( isset( $_GET['ics'] ) ) { ...}

and remove unnecessary code

include get_stylesheet_directory() . '/inc/ICS.php';

wrap your field ID in the single quote

$start_date = rwmb_get_value( 'ci_event_start_date', array( 'format' => 'Y-m-d g:iA' ) );
$end_date   = rwmb_get_value( 'ci_event_end_date', array( 'format' => 'Y-m-d g:iA' ) );

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Sherwin,

Thanks for your effort and sharing your knowledge.

You can follow this documentation to bypass the default sanitization https://docs.metabox.io/sanitization/#bypass-the-sanitization

Hi,

You can use this code to remove the WordPress Events and News widget

add_action( 'wp_dashboard_setup', function() {
    remove_meta_box( 'dashboard_primary', 'dashboard', 'side' );
} );

and this code to remove Meta Box menu from dashboard menus

add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_menu_metabox' );

function remove_menu_metabox() {
    if ( !current_user_can( 'administrator' ) ) { //change role or capability here
        remove_menu_page( 'meta-box' );
    }
}

Hi Jorge,

If you set the view render for the post content area in the Archive page, the view content will replace each post content in the list posts. Please refer to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/tag-archive-my-view-gets-ignored-when-rendering-only-the-post-content-area/

Hi,

1. When clicking the Add to Calendar button, there is a popup box to download the file .ics so the firewall might block this behavior. You can contact their support to get more information.

2. Change the curry quote to the single quote on this code

if ( is_singular( ‘event’ ) && isset( $_GET['ics'] ) ) {

to

if ( is_singular( 'event' ) && isset( $_GET['ics'] ) ) {

And the important point in step 2 of the article is to use a theme template. If not, this function get_stylesheet_directory() will not work.

You can copy content of the file ICS.php and add before the function justread_ics_download()

class ICS {
...
}
function justread_ics_download() {
...
}

The shortcode should include all PHP and HTML form, please don't break it into two parts.

add_shortcode( 'calendardata', function() {
    $start_date = rwmb_get_value( ci_event_start_date, array( 'format' => 'Y-m-d g:iA' ) );
    $start_date = wp_date( 'Ymd\THis', $start_date );
    $end_date   = rwmb_get_value( ci_event_end_date, array( 'format' => 'Y-m-d g:iA' ) );
    $end_date   = wp_date( 'Ymd\THis', $end_date );
    ?>
    <form method="post" action="?ics=true">
            <input type="hidden" name="start_date" value="<?php echo $start_date; ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="end_date" value="<?php echo $end_date; ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="location" value="<?php echo rwmb_meta( 'event_location' ); ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="summary" value="<?php the_title(); ?>">
            <input type="submit" value="Add to Calendar">
    </form>
    <?php
} );

Hi Greg,

It might relate to this topic https://support.metabox.io/topic/select-choices-callback-cache/

I recommend creating the block with code instead of Builder to show the dynamic data.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for your feedback.

I've escalated this case to the development team to cover it in the next update.
