Meta Box

Hello,

No problem, I'll send you the refund.

FYI, we're working closely with support from Beaver Builder teams to make Meta Box and BB compatible. nomad411 - the admin of BB's Slack channel is also a customer here 🙂

Hi,

#1: If you don't use the exported code, then the whole meta box settings is saved in the database (under a special custom post type called "meta-box"). The MB Builder will get all the configured meta boxes and pass them to the Meta Box plugin (and extensions).

Technically, meta box settings (an array) is stored as a serialized data in the post content of "meta-box" custom post type.

#2: Yes, definitely. You can use the Export/Import features of the MB Builder to use it on other sites. Or you can just copy the exported code (in the Code Export tab) to use on other sites. Both methods work.

Hi James,

You can do that in the MB Builder extension with Custom Attributes. Just go to tab Settings and you'll see Custom Attributes button. Clicking on that and add "storage_type" and "table" attributes, then you're done!

I updated the plugin 2 days ago with the fix. Please update!

You can use the rwmb_meta() function, it will auto checks whether the media player is available. If not, it shows the "Embeded HTML is not available" message.

If you want to check that your self, you can do similarly like here:

Hi,

Thanks for the question. I've been thinking about this, too. This feature is still on my plan. But the problem is the UI for the field (and not only taxonomy, but also post field). Not sure how to make it good at the moment.

Hello,

Thanks a lot for your feedback! I really appreciate that.

In order to use your product as an alternative to Toolset, I would need to install 6-8 plugins… For me, that’s a ton – and I happen to try to limit plugins to a total of 10 for an entire project.

Actually this is not a big problem. We have Meta Box AIO plugin that includes all plugins in a single one. So you can just install 1 plugin and have everything ready. This AIO plugin is available in the Developer Bundle (cause it includes everything).

But the number of plugins doesn't matter. Their quality matters much more. If you count all Meta Box plugins's files or line of codes, you will see it's less than Toolset!

So, does the online builder work for the add-ons too? Meaning, could I create a series of CPTs with special functions online, generate the code for that, and then paste into my site without having to install of the plugins?

You can do that with the MB Builder extension. It supports all premium extensions and support exporting to PHP code. The Online Generator is for the core Meta Box only.

Hope that helps clarifying some things. If you have any concern, please let me know.

Hello,

We make the meta box id = auto generated from the post title, e.g the post slug, which is always unique. WP doesn't regenerate post slug when update, so neither do the extension.

Just curious why do you want to change the meta box ID?
