Meta Box

Hi Brian,

Parsing a shortcode in the URL is very complicated. It's very easy if you modify your code like this

<a href="https://demo.com/?your_parameter=<?php echo do_shortcode('[rwmb_meta id="tour_date"]') . do_shortcode('[rwmb_meta id="tour_name"]') ?>">Button</a>

This piece of code will help you to parse the shortcode in the URL when clicking to the button, but only one shortcode will be parsed.
https://demo.com/?your_parameter=[rwmb_meta id="tour_date"]

You can use Code Snippet to run the code and you need to find the class of the button to put on the code.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the plugin Meta Box does not support to check/validate the value in a field is unique or not. But you can use the post ID of WordPress itself (unique) to concatenate with your field value when printing out on the front end

echo rwmb_meta('field_id') . get_queried_object_id();

Hi Brian,

If you are using the shortcode outside the loop (or the post), you should add the second attribute object_id then the shortcode should be

[rwmb_meta id="field_id" object_id="post_id"]

you can find the post ID in the URL when editing the post

For further information, please follow our documentation

Hi Nuno,

WordPress supports to export the custom post type by going to Admin Dashboard -> Tools -> Export -> Post types

Hi B,

The field can work any position before or after title, content. As I can see in your first and second images, the field is WYSIWYG type but the third is textarea type. Could you please check it out?

Hi Johann,

WordPress 5.4 introduces the new hook to add custom fields to the menu item, we are discussing and researching for this feature in the future update.

Keep this plugin up to date and you will have more control over your site.

I have a CPT name Customer File and create three text fields (number, address, phone) as the code below

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_register_meta_boxes' );

function your_prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = array (
        'title' => esc_html__( 'Customer info', 'text-domain' ),
        'id' => 'customer-info',
        'post_types' => array(
            0 => 'customer-file',
        ),
        'context' => 'normal',
        'priority' => 'high',
        'fields' => array(
            array (
                'id' => $prefix . 'name',
                'type' => 'text',
                'name' => esc_html__( 'Name', 'text-domain' ),
            ),
            array (
                'id' => $prefix . 'address',
                'type' => 'text',
                'name' => esc_html__( 'Address', 'text-domain' ),
            ),
            array (
                'id' => $prefix . 'phone',
                'type' => 'text',
                'name' => esc_html__( 'Phone', 'text-domain' ),
            ),
        ),
    );

    return $meta_boxes;
}

then use this code to show the list invoices and the customers name

$invoices = array(
    array(
        'customernumber' => '101',
        'invoicenumber'   => 1,
        'invoiceamount'   => 100
    ),
    array(
        'customernumber' => '213',
        'invoicenumber'   => 2,
        'invoiceamount'   => 95
    ),
    array(
        'customernumber' => '107',
        'invoicenumber'   => 3,
        'invoiceamount'   => 107
    )
);

$args = array(  
    'post_type' => 'customer-file',
    'post_status' => 'publish',
    'posts_per_page' => -1, 
);

$loop = new WP_Query( $args ); 
    
while ( $loop->have_posts() ) : $loop->the_post(); 
    foreach ( $invoices as $number => $invoice ) {
        if( $invoice['customernumber'] == $loop->post->post_title ) {
            echo 'Customer Number: ' . $invoice['customernumber'] . '<br>';
            echo 'Invoice Number: ' . $invoice['invoicenumber'] . '<br>';
            echo 'Invoice Amount: ' . $invoice['invoiceamount'] . '<br>';
            echo 'Name: ' . rwmb_meta( 'name' ) . '<br>';
            echo 'Address: ' . rwmb_meta( 'address' ) . '<br>';
            echo 'Phone: ' . rwmb_meta( 'phone' ) . '<br>';

        }
    }
endwhile;

wp_reset_postdata();

Hi,

I've added your code in my demo site then login with a user and upload an image via mobile phone, everything is working fine. You can take a look in here.
