Meta Box

Hi,

Thanks for your idea, this feature is not supported yet. I'm going to inform the developer team to consider adding it to the to-do list for the future development of the plugin.

Hi Aaron,

Thank you for getting in touch.

If you use the Builder, you can navigate to the Settings tab > Advanced location rules > Select Custom and pass the custom function name to check if the page is frontpage (set in Settings > Reading) or not. For example:

function get_frontpage_id() {
    $post_id = null;
    if ( isset( $_GET['post'] ) ) {
        $post_id = intval( $_GET['post'] );
    } elseif ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) ) {
        $post_id = intval( $_POST['post_ID'] );
    }
    return ( $post_id == get_option('page_on_front') ) ? true : false;
}

Hi Cees,

Please follow this article to know how to save a field WYSIWYG value as post content https://docs.metabox.io/save-wysiwyg-content-post-content/

Then you can change the field type WYSIWYG to textarea.

Hi Sascha,

I've not used a block library like that before, but if they work with ACF and Toolset, they will work with (simple) custom fields from Meta Box. You can see how we can move custom fields from ACF to Meta Box here https://metabox.io/move-custom-post-type-custom-field-data-from-pods-to-meta-box/

Another way, you can use the shortcode to show a field value in the blocks https://docs.metabox.io/shortcode/

Hi Joseph,

You can try to use this code in View

{% set post_meta = mb.get_post_custom( post.ID ) %}
{{ mb.var_dump( post_meta ) }}

Hi,

The function get_post_field() get the post fields such as post_type, post_status, post_content. You can see on the documentation https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post_field/

To get the post meta (custom field), you can use the function get_post_meta() or helper function rwmb_meta()

Hi Prabakaran,

It looks like the Oxygen Builder does not support getting the field value from the custom table, just from the default table wp_postmeta of WordPress. You need to create a View to use the shortcode or create a custom function to get the field value from the custom table.

You can also use the helper shortcode to show the field value in Oxygen Builder https://docs.metabox.io/shortcode/

Hi Ryan,

Thank you for your feedback.

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