Meta Box

Hi, to combine values of 2 fields when saving, please use this snippet:

add_action( 'rwmb_after_save_post', function( $post_id ) {
    if ( isset( $_POST['field_1'] ) && isset( $_POST['field_2'] ) ) {
        $value = $_POST['field_1'] . $_POST['field_2'];
        update_post_meta( $post_id, 'field_combine', $value );
    }
} );

This snippet combines the values of field_1 and field_2 into field_combine.

To add JS to a meta box, please use this snippet:

add_action( 'rwmb_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_script( 'your-script', 'https://url-to-your-js-file', array( 'jquery' ), '', true );
} ):

Hi,

Basically, the snippet change the post data before it's saved to the database. In this case, it set the comment status to closed for all submitted posts.

If you want to make a checkbox for toggling comment status, you can add a checkbox field to the meta box and change the condition to something like this:

// change
// if ( 'meta-box-id' == $config['id'] ) {
// to
if ( 'meta-box-id' == $config['id'] && !empty( $_POST['checkbox_id'] ) ) {

Hi,

This happens with an old date metabox that i created

Can you check the status of those meta boxes? Make sure they're published. You can check in the phpMyAdmin as well.

And i try to import metabox to a new fresh install but i cant. After try to import i am gettiong error like this: Cannot load meta-box-import.

Did you use the export/import functionality from the Builder?

Hi Charlin, I've just fixed the bug. I'll release new version now.

The easiest way is just set their IDs like: prefix-text and prefix-radio. Please just don't make something like field-one and field-one-two.

I'm working on fixing this bug. Until then, this is the only way to get rid off the bug.

Hi,

The problem is the plugin doesn't handle very well the case when a field's ID contains another field's ID. In this case the ID of the input contains the ID of the radio field. The plugin make some guests to find the correct elements. And in this case, it gets the wrong elements 🙁

To prevent this bug, please set the IDs so no one contains another.

Hi Marcel, unfortunately it's not possible for now. I'm thinking a better way to enter options for the fields in the Builder. Probably via a textarea instead of many label/value pairs as it is now.

Update: a new way to enter options is available. Please update the Builder and take a look at this instruction video:

Hi Marcel,

Please send me the link via Contact page.

The tabs is showing means the form is rendered. It might be an issue with settings of the meta boxes.
