Meta Box

Hi John,

Just want to let you know that the admin columns is done. There's no need to use the Admin Columns extension, everything is built-in the Relationships plugin. Please update and check the docs for how to use it.

Cheers,
Anh

Hi, the Meta Box AIO should be updated instantly after individual extension update. It just requires to do that manually and I forgot to do that yesterday. I'll do it now. Sorry 🙁

Yes, that's true.

Using flat-table helps you query against the value quicky, in case you want to access the data directly from SQL or via PHPMyAdmin. And when writing PHP code, you don't need to parse the array to get the value. This is also the standard way to store value. The serialized array is the special way WordPress uses to handle for its arrays.

Hi Dave,

In columns, the labels are moved to the top of fields, because if you have 3-4 columns, the layout looks weird and like broken. However, you can change the position with some custom CSS. Please just inspect the element and adjust the CSS.

And yes, the group is divided by 12.

Hi Mauro,

I've just updated the MB Custom Post Type on Github to support moving the CPT to be a sub-menu of another existing menu. Please try it and let me know how it goes. The new version will be available on wordpress.org soon.

Updated: New version has been released. Please update and let me know what you think 🙂

Yes, your last snippet will work.

I just wander why do you need to update a custom user meta? Doesn't it belong to a Meta Box? If it does, the Meta Box can handle all the saving. In case you want to add custom meta, beyond the scope of Meta Box, yes, it makes sense.

Ah, if you want to keep the email field, then in the 2nd snippet, it's available in the $data, so you should keep it (e.g. don't assign it to a completely new array).

The 2nd snippet should be:

add_filter( 'rwmb_profile_insert_user_data', function ( $data, $config ) {
    // User strpos because the $config also contains default register form.
    if ( false === strpos( $config['id'], 'user-account' ) ) {
        return $data;
    }
    // Custom data for user.
    $data['user_login'] = 'my_user3';
    $data['user_pass']  = 'my_user_pass';
    return $data;
}, 10, 2 );

No, the data is where it is. Only new entries are saved in the custom table. You can write a custom script to migrate if you want.
