Meta Box

Hi Nakaiya,

Yes, of course. But in the callback function of the rwmb_meta_boxes filter, please just use the variable $meta_boxes. It's an array of meta boxes. Each meta box has a different title.

So, your code can be modified to this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'announcements_register_meta_boxes' );
function announcements_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = 'announcements_';
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'         => 'announcements',
        'title'      => 'Announcements Meta',
        'post_types' => 'announcements',

        'fields' => array(
            // DATE
            array(
                'name'       => __( 'Event Date - If nothing is entered here, the post publish date will be used', 'announcements_' ),
                'id'         => "{$prefix}display_date",
                'type'       => 'date',
            ),

        )
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'register_meta_boxes' );
function register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = 'uu_';
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'         => 'uu_metabox',
        'title'      => 'My Metabox',
        'post_types' => 'post',

        'fields' => array(
            // DATE
            array(
                'name'       => __( 'Event Date - If nothing is entered here, the post publish date will be used', 'announcements_' ),
                'id'         => "{$prefix}display_date",
                'type'       => 'date',
            ),

        )
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Can you try re-save the meta box?

Ah, you're using the MB Builder :). I was saying about using code.

In MB Builder, to change the type, please go to Advanced tab, try add a custom attribute type with value tel.

Just fixed this issue in the Builder, please update.

Hi Jefferson,

Unfortunately, no. The whole "tree" is considered as a field, and it's to be put in a single column.

Hi Neil,

As I answer in the other topic, showing the value of custom fields in a different way need some coding. In this case, you want to display in a chart or graph, then the steps will be:

• Download a chart/graph library required CSS/JS. Depends on which library you use, the files are different.
• Enqueue a chart/graph library's JS/CSS. This can be done in the theme with wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style.
• Get the field values (via helper functions).
• Output the values in the format required by the chart/graph library. If they required the data in JavaScript, you need to use wp_localize_script to enqueue the data.
• Write some custom JS to initialize the graph/chart.

That might sound complicated, but the whole process is just trying to pass the data of custom fields to the JS of the library. Depends on which library you use, the code might be different.

Hi Neil,

1. Yes, it's possible. Please just change the type from text to tel and you already have telephone field. It's actually a HTML5 input type and I already covered it here.

2. The MB Builder could not be extended that way. If you create a new field type, it's available for coding only. It won't show in the Builder.

Hello,

Let me check it again. Thanks for your feedback.
