Meta Box

For better organization, I put each module in separate files which are located in different folder.

This is great and is a recommended way to organizing fields. I also wrote about this.

Problem is value in fields cannot be retrieved, all none whilst html output is OK.

Can you provide more details on how you retrieve values? Code is appreciated.

Hi Purdue,

I've just pushed an update for both MB Revision and MB Custom Table. Now they work well together and you can use them to track revisions for CPT in custom tables. Please update and let me know if you find any problem.

Hi,

When I unserialize the value, I see questions and answers are saved correctly:

FYI, the group extension saves all sub-field values in a serialized array in the database (which is what you just saw). When you get the value, it will be unserialized and returns an array.

I see, it's much clearer now.

To get the field values from your table CPT, please pass the post ID (value of the field pricing_table_id) to the 3rd parameter of rwmb_meta function. Here is a modified version of your initial code:

$table = isset( $pricing['pricing_table_id'] ) ? $pricing['pricing_table_id'] : '';
if ( $table ) {
  $plans = rwmb_meta( 'plan', '', $table ); // THIS
  if ( ! empty( $plans ) ) {
    foreach ($plans as $plan) {
      $name = isset( $plan['plan_name'] ) ? $plan['plan_name'] : '';
      echo $name;
    }
  }
}

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately, creating setting page requires coding. It's just 10 lines of code and you can go to Appearance > Editors to add them into your theme's functions.php file.

Then you can use the MB Builder to create fields for settings page using GUI and finally use BB Themer to get the settings and show them on the front end.

Hi,

I think if you mark a field required, the browser will force you to enter a value. It works per field, which means it doesn't depend on values of other fields. So no matter that field is in a group or not, if it's required, it should have a value.

I'd suggest using custom JavaScript code to check the emptiness of a group (clone) before submitting the post, and not using the required featured. This way, you control when and how the field is "required".

Thanks for the info. I'm checking your site and found a problem: the ID of the field contains a space:

That comes from the $prefix = strtolower($this->attributes['post']['single']);, which transform Case Study to just case study. It should be case_study. Please try this code:

$prefix = str_replace(' ', '_', strtolower($this->attributes['post']['single']));

The space in field ID (and then in the input name/ID) causes unexpected behavior, and that might be a cause to this problem.

Hi Purdue,

There's a bug that MB Revision doesn't work with custom table yet. We're working on that. Please wait for a few days.
