Meta Box

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

I'm afraid that it is not possible. We have to some actions like click, typing (keyup) to trigger the searching function.

I will inform the development team to explore the possibility of this case.

Hi webdev,

Do you mean the field type group?

The data will be lost because the field ID is store in the database as a meta key. When you create a new field in a group field, the meta key is group ID so you have to add the field value again.

Hi Henri,

I've dived into this case and found a way to achieve this goal. We can use a query nested in the main query to get the connected post A > B > C as your expectation.

I've created a post type book and have two relationships. Here is the code:

add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function() {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( [
        'id'    => 'posts_to_pages',
        'from'  => 'post',
        'to'    => 'page',
    ] );
} );

add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function() {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( [
        'id'    => 'posts_to_books',
        'from'  => 'post',
        'to'    => 'book',
    ] );
} );

When displaying a page, I can show posts related to this page and books related to those posts

$connected_post = new WP_Query( [
    'relationship' => [
        'id'   => 'posts_to_pages',
        'to' => get_the_ID(), // You can pass object ID or full object
    ],
    'nopaging'     => true,
] );
while ( $connected_post->have_posts() ) : $connected_post->the_post();
    ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php 
        $connected_book = new WP_Query( [
            'relationship' => [
                'id'   => 'posts_to_books',
                'from' => $connected_post->post->ID, // You can pass object ID or full object
            ],
            'nopaging'     => true,
        ] );
        while ( $connected_book->have_posts() ) : $connected_book->the_post();
            ?>
            <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
            <?php
        endwhile;
        $connected_book->reset_postdata();

     ?>
    <br>
    <?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

Let me know if it helped.

Hi,

For some flexible cases, I think you can try to use the extension MB Conditional Logic. Example, you can show/hide a field base on a checkbox.

Hi Davide,

Thank you for reaching out.

The group field does not support adding the setting readonly. This setting only applies to some simple fields like text, url, email, checkbox, radio, date, time, datetime which are sub-fields inside the group.

Hi NorCal,

Thank you for reaching out.

Please follow the step Debugging Information here https://support.metabox.io/topic/how-to-create-a-new-topic/.

Then share some screenshots and error logs, I will help you to investigate the issue.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for reaching out.

You can hook a function to the action rwmb_{$meta_box_id}_after_save_post with the latest meta box register on the settings page. After saving the value of this meta box, the custom function will be fired.

Get more details in the documentation

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out and feedback.

The extension MB Custom Post Type does not cover two points that you mention. I'm going to inform the development team to consider adding it to the roadmap for developing this extension.
