Meta Box

Just want to note to this topic: the original bug with switch value is resolved, and the discussion continues here.

I have answered these questions via email. I'll post them here in case anyone has a similar problem:

Would storing the Meta Box data in a separate db table keep the relationship with each product ID it was entered on

The answer for this is YES. There's a relationship between the products (posts table) and the custom table. Technically, the value of the custom table's ID column = product (post) ID.

Whats the best approach to something like this?

If what you meant is exporting the data in the custom table when using the export functionality of WordPress, then I have to say it's not supported. WP export feature seems to be limited to custom fields that stored in the post_meta table only.

I have no good solution for this at the moment, as the task of exporting and importing data from custom table along with the product data seems to be complicated. It's best to use some tools or plugins to export the whole database to SQL file. But I guess it's not what you want.

Hi,

The old field is an element in the option array. To delete it, simply unset it:

$option = get_option( 'settings' );
$option['new-text'] = $option['Text-old'];

// THIS
unset( $option['Text-old'] );
update_option( 'settings', $option );

Hi Neil,

I fixed the snippet in the KB. In this case, I think it can be done with this code:

add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function() {
    MB_Relationships_API::register( array(
        'id'   => 'sessions_to_speakers',
        'from' => 'session',
        'to'   => 'speaker',
    ) );
    MB_Relationships_API::register( array(
        'id'   => 'sessions_to_sponsors',
        'from' => 'session',
        'to'   => 'sponsor',
    ) );
} );

To show the related information (speakers, sponsors) when displaying sessions, please try this code:

// Display speakers
$speaker_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'relationship' => array(
        'id'   => 'sessions_to_speakers',
        'from' => get_the_ID(),
    ),
    'nopaging'     => true,
) );
while ( $speaker_query->have_posts() ) : $speaker_query->the_post();
    ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

// Display sponsors
$sponsor_query = new WP_Query( array(
    'relationship' => array(
        'id'   => 'sessions_to_sponsors',
        'from' => get_the_ID(),
    ),
    'nopaging'     => true,
) );
while ( $sponsor_query->have_posts() ) : $sponsor_query->the_post();
    ?>
    <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
    <?php
endwhile;
wp_reset_postdata();

Hi Giovanni,

Unfortunately, it's not possible. The plugin works only in the backend.

Hi Bezzo,

Thanks for your idea. I think it's ok to remove autoload from Composer and leave it for developers. I've just made the change. Please try again.

Hi Harrison,

Sorry for the delay.

The HTML output looks correct. The upload button is rendered by JavaScript. In your code, looks like the JavaScript doesn't run.

Would you mind sending me the admin account to check it? Please send in the contact form.
