Meta Box

Hello Jeff,

The extension Frontend Submission only supports submitting posts or custom models in the front end; it doesn't support submitting data to update the settings page. Please read more about this extension in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/

Hello John,

I think the conditional logic setting isn't correct so it will break the Javascript code and cause the issue with the map which will use some Javascript to display the map in the front end.

Please export the field group to a JSON file and share it here https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-builder/#export--import
I will help you investigate the issue.

Hello John,

Thanks for reaching out.

1. Currently, you have to add the OSM field to the field group to use the Geolocation feature. It is noted in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-geolocation/

If you don't want to display the map field, you can add a custom class to the field and create some custom CSS code to hide it.

2. This is also noted in the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-geolocation/#two-way-data-binding
when you change the pin on the map, the latitude and longitude will be changed/updated, not the address. I think that is expected because we don't have addresses for every point/pin on a map such as in a forest, sea, desert ...

3. I'm afraid it isn't possible. The address text field is the returned result from OSM/Google API; we just fill it with the returned result. Other address components are extracted from the address field.

Hello,

I suggest you go to Settings > Permalinks > Re-save permalink Post name and check the issue again.

Let me know how it goes.

Hello,

What happens if you deactivate all other plugins including MemberPress and WPCodeBox? If it still doesn't work, please share your site admin account by submitting this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/
I will take a look.

Hello Rebecca,

I understand that you want to set the post type based on the select field after submitting the frontend submission form. I share with you an example of how to make it work:

1. I have a field group and a simple select field with the options is the CPT slug and label:

[
    'name'              => __( 'Content type', 'your-text-domain' ),
    'id'                => 'content_type',
    'type'              => 'select',
    'options'           => [
        'book' => __( 'Book', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'post' => __( 'Post', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'page' => __( 'Page', 'your-text-domain' ),
    ],
],

2. This field group is added to the frontend form.

3. I use this code to update the post type of the submitted post based on the select:

add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    if ( isset( $_POST['content_type'] ) ) {
        $post_type = $_POST['content_type'];

        $my_post = [
            'ID' => $post_id,
            'post_type' => $post_type

        ];

        wp_update_post( $my_post );
    }
}, 10, 2 );

Note: this is an example. If it doesn't work or does not meet your requirements, you can contact us here to request a customization service https://metabox.io/contact/

Hello,

I add your code to the file functions.php in the theme folder, edit a post, add some sample value and save. The value is saved to the database properly, without any issues. Here is the screen record https://imgur.com/pMriFJ1
