Meta Box

You're data is a plain array encoded in JSON, so $value[$i] is correct to iterate each of the value stored.

I'm not sure how it's saved in the DB, though. But at least it works for now. Please post the code for the meta box/field here for me to see why it saves as json-array.

Hi Sam,

If you already activate MB Relationships network-wide, then please do not install or activate the plugin via Meta Box AIO. The AIO plugin is a wrapper of other extensions. When you install a plugin via AIO, it will install that plugin as an individual plugin, which can cause some issues.

Hi Max,

Does it work with new posts?

The mechanism of std in Meta Box works only if the meta box has not been saved before. Here 'meta box' means all fields. So if there's any field that already has value, then std won't work for other fields, even new fields you've just added.

Hi Sam,

Did you create the custom table with code? The MB Custom Table doesn't create the table automatically. Instead, you need to put a small snippet into your theme's functions.php file to create a table manually. Here is the guide on doing that.

If you already did that but no tables are created, please check if your database user has privileges to create new tables. Some hosts don't allow you to do that.

Regarding issue with displaying fields on the front end, are the fields just normal custom fields or they're fields used with custom table? As there is still a problem with custom table, the custom fields don't work properly until we resolve it.

I'll answer your question about MB Relationships in another topic of yours.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your feedback. I'll check and fix that.

Hi Jefferson,

You can use std attribute for a text field, like this:

$post_id = isset( $_GET['post'] ) ? intval( $_GET['post'] ) : ( isset( $_POST['post_ID'] ) : intval( $_POST['post_ID'] ) : false );
$meta_boxes[] = [
    'fields' => [
        [
            'type' => 'text',
            'id' => 'color',
            'std' => generate_my_own_code( $post_id ),
        ],
    ],
];

Hi Max,

Querying posts using relationship as a condition is not supported. You might want to query posts as usual, then perform an API call to get connected items for each post. Then you can use condition to decide whether to show them.

MB_Relationships_API::each_connected( array(
    'id'   => 'posts_to_pages',
    'from' => $wp_query->posts, // 'from' or 'to'.
) );

while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    // Skip if no connected posts.
    if ( empty( $post->connected ) ) {
        continue;
    }

    // Output here
endwhile;

Hi Scott,

It's so sad to see you go. Hopefully you'll come back later. I've issued the refund.

Best regards
