Meta Box

Hi David, can you post the code that register meta boxes with columns? So I can debug it?

Hi Calpaq, I got it. I think in this case, it's better to use some conditional check in your template. Something like this:

if ( your_is_cart_empty() ) {
    echo 'Please go back and add some items';
} else {
    echo do_shortcode( '[mb_frontend_form id="meta-box-id"]' );
}

It's much easier than filter the form or change the fields inside.

Hello,

My developer is still working on this bug. Looks like the Builder extension doesn't export the value correctly. We'll let you know when it's fixed.

Hi Ahmed,

To use the MB Comment Meta, all you need to do is replacing post_types rule in Meta Box by 'type' => 'comment'. That's just simple.

Anyway, comment is a special content type in WordPress and it uses a totally different API to save content. Unlike posts and custom post types, the content for comments is different. So I'm afraid the MB Frontend Submission can't work in this situation.

Hi,

To display the images in thumbnail with links to the full-size, please use this shortcode:

[rwmb_meta meta_key="field-id" link="true" size="thumbnail"]

You can also use code snippet, if you don't want to use shortcode:

$images = rwmb_meta( 'field-id', array( 'size' => 'thumbnail' ) );
foreach ( $images as $image ) {
    echo '<a href="', $image['full_url'], '"><img src="', $image['url'], '"></a>';
}

For more info, please check out the docs.

Hi Calpaq,

Let me try to understand your problem. Are you trying to put a frontend form in the Cart page? And if there's no products in the cart, you'd want to show a message to users. Otherwise, they need to fill in all the form fields so they can see the Submit button? Am I right?

Hi Mauro,

Thanks a lot for your bugs. I've just fixed those typos in the composer.json file, and remove the updater, cause it does nothing. The update is controlled by Composer in this case.

May I suggest in the future to standardise all the naming of both directories and plug-in init files to one naming convention — be it mb-[plugin name] or meta-box-[plugin name] ?

Yes, it should be mb-[plugin name]. I'll remember that.

Another note: many plug-ins have the .svn directory inside, is this the intended behaviour? Shouldn’t all version control information be removed during the install of the components?

It's the default behaviour of the WPackagist. I found a way to fix this. Please check it out.

Haha, Thomas, thanks!

I had a snippet on the Meta Box Library that shows a meta box for all custom post types. Please check it out!
