Meta Box

Hello guys,

Sorry for the delay. We've completed the integration plugin and it's available on Github. We're submitting it to wordpress.org.

The code is also sent and verified by Elementor's developer Ohad Raz, so I think it's ready to use.

Please try it and let me know if you need anything. Details, docs and video are coming soon.

Hi Ale,

This is a great question!

Firstly, I think you should translate the field labels only. Translating the values makes it's very hard to control what is saved in the database. And the data in the database should not be user's concern, it's for developers only.

Secondly, if you use rwmb_meta, you'll get the field value stored in the database. It's static and can't be changed. That's why you don't see the translated text. I'd suggest using rwmb_the_value to get the option labels, which meaningful to users and translatable. See the field documentation for details.

Finally, make sure you load the text domain for the code of meta boxes.

Hi Philip,

Please add show parameter to the meta box settings as follows:

function testmeta( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = 'swed-';

    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id' => 'vendoroptions',
        'title' => esc_html__( 'Vendors', 'metabox-online-generator' ),
        'post_types' => array( 'page' ),
        'context' => 'after_title',
        'priority' => 'high',
        'autosave' => false,
        'show' => array(
            'template' => array( 'this-template.php' ),
        ),
        'fields' => array(),
   );
   return $meta_boxes;
} );

For more details, please see the documentation.

I don't see anything wrong with your code. Are the fields not showing up in the backend?

Hi Dan,

Just answered you on the Meta Box group on Facebook. I'm posting here for reference:

For custom taxonomy, please use the syntax described in the docs. It's more complicated than the category and tags (caused they're built in and we can define a specific syntax for them).

Hi,

The std is what you want. But it's applied (e.g. show) only when the meta box hasn't saved. So, if you have saved the meta box once, the field won't show the std value. You can check that with new post, where the meta box hasn't been saved and you'll see the std value is showing.

Hi Juanita,

You can overwrite the orderby parameter with this code:

add_filter( 'posts_clauses', function( $clauses, $query ) {
    $relationship = $query->get( 'relationship' );
    if ( ! $relationship || 'REL_ID' != $relationship['id'] ) ) {
        return $clauses;
    }
    $clauses['orderby'] = 'ORDER BY post_date DESC';
    return $clauses;
}, 99, 2 );

It overwrites the orderby in the query. You might change it to fit your needs.

Hello,

I've just tested and the image_size parameter works. Here is a screenshot:

Just a note: when the size specified in image_size parameter is not available, the full size is used. That might be your case.
