Meta Box

Hi,

By default, the plugin shortcode only has 3 fields: user email, password and password confirmation. To add fields to the registration form (including standard fields), please create a meta box for user profile, like this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => 'Registration',
        'id'     => 'your-registration',
        'type'   => 'user',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'type' => 'text',
                'id'   => 'first_name',
                'name' => 'First Name',
            ],
            [
                'type' => 'text',
                'id'   => 'last_name',
                'name' => 'Last Name',
            ],
            // More fields here
        ]
    ];
    return $meta_boxes;
} );

Then include this form in the registration shortcode provided by the plugin:

[mb_user_profile_register id="your-registration"]

Hi, to register a meta box for a custom post type, please:

• Go to Meta Box > Custom Fields, click Add New to add a new field group.
• Then add fields you want from the left panel.
• Click the tab Settings and select "Posts" in "Show for", and then select your post type below.
• Click Save Changes button

Now go back to your custom post type edit screen and you'll see the meta box appear. Enter some info and update the post.

To show the custom fields's values in the sidebar, there are 2 ways:

• Put the shortcode [rwmb_meta meta_key="your_field_id"] into the text widget. See this docs for more details.
• Or you can edit your sidebar.php file of your theme and add some code to display the fields. See this docs for more info.

Hi Austin,

If you just enable show_in_rest param for a CPT, it will use the default WordPress namespace, which is wp/v2. In order to use a custom namespace, you have to write a custom REST Controller (which is out of the scope of the extension). Please see here for more details.

Update: In case you write a custom REST Controller, you might disable the rest support in the MB Custom Post Type extension, and add a custom code like this.

Hi Dan,

I've just tested the MB Beaver Builder Integration and don't see any error. Can you post the code that registers meta box to check?

Hey @mgratch, your solution is great! Thanks for posting it here for others. I completely forgot about the custom callback. Nice work!

Hello,

Can you give me more details on "get the MetaBox to tie to the Post Type and then put them into the sidebar"? Do you mean registering a meta box (with custom fields) for the custom post type and outputting the custom fields' values in the sidebar?

Hi Doug,

I'm afraid this (removing the required attribute) is the only way to resolve this. The Conditional Logic actually hides/shows elements. It does not removes them completely from the page (cause it doesn't know how to get them back).
