Meta Box

Hi Johannes,

It's the behavior of the WordPress core when you are in the backend, click Add new post, leave all blank (title, content ...) and just click Publish, it will save a new post with the title (no title).

So when you are in the frontend (not logged in), the extension MB Frontend Submission does the same thing, leave all fields blank and click Submit, a new post is created with the title (No title).

You can make a/some fields required when submitting the post by adding the setting required => true to the field or use the Validation.
https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#reorder-post-fields

$meta_boxes[] = [
    'title'  => 'Bill Submit',
    'id'     => 'bill',
    'fields' => [
        [
            'name' => 'Submission Date',
            'id'   => 'submission_date',
            'type' => 'date',
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Title',
            'id'   => 'post_title', // THIS
            'required'  => true,
        ],
        [
            'name'    => 'Type',
            'id'      => 'type',
            'type'    => 'select',
            'options' => [
                'docs'    => 'Document',
                'receipt' => 'Receipt',
            ],
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Description',
            'type' => 'textarea',
            'id'   => 'post_content', // THIS
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'Thumbnail',
            'type' => 'single_image',
            'id'   => '_thumbnail_id', // THIS
        ],
    ],
]

Hi Jean,

Some fields image_advanced, file_advanced, single_image ... come with the input type hidden to store the information of the field and the media item (image, file). See my screenshot https://share.getcloudapp.com/ApukkgyQ.

It's the design of the field to save the value (media ID) to the database. Let me know if there is any problem with these fields.

Hi,

The problem happens because the code used the function esc_attr(), it escapes HTML code and returns only a string that's why we only see the <ul><li> tag.

I've just removed it then we can see the list as well.

$benefits           =  $_POST['benefits'];
$aufgaben           =  $_POST['aufgaben'];
$fachwissen         =  $_POST['fachwissen'];

Or you can keep the function esc_attr() then use the function htmlspecialchars_decode() to convert special HTML entities back to characters.

/* Aufgaben */
function kie_job_get_aufgaben(){
  return htmlspecialchars_decode( strip_tags(rwmb_meta( 'kie_aufgaben', get_the_ID() ), '<ul><li></ul></li>') );
}

Hi,

Please update the new version 1.11.18 of the extension Meta Box AIO to fix this issue.

Thank you.

Hi,

Here is my sample code to get the single_image field's information via custom query

$query = new WP_Query(array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
));

while ($query->have_posts()) {
    $query->the_post();
    $image = rwmb_meta( 'post_meta_single_image', array( 'size' => 'thumbnail' ) );
    echo '<a href="', $image['full_url'], '"><img src="', $image['url'], '"></a><br>';
    
    echo "<pre>";
    print_r($image);
    echo "</pre>";
}

and a screen record demonstrates https://www.loom.com/share/d31c328cc0654b10ad4aeed977e23900.

Could you please take some screenshots of a screen record of this issue? I will take a closer look and give a quick response.

Hi,

The text field can help you to add the character $ and thousand separators. See my screen record https://www.loom.com/share/5734ebb11914426b8444e403d6ddb678.

And the sample code to sanitize the field.

function custom_sanitize_numer( $value ) {  
    // Format number, add separate comma  
    $value = number_format( (int) $value );

    // Add character $ before number
    if ( 0 !== strpos( $value, '$' ) ) {
        $value = '$' . $value;
    }

    return $value;
}

Hi Eric,

You can use the custom sanitize callback to format the value of the field number. Please follow these documentations.

Hi,

Thank you for pointing this out. I'm going to check the issue and let you know later.
