KeymasterHi James,
Great stuffs!
What would I have to do to customize the FacetWP Integrator so that it would loop through the custom fields that I want to use as facets or indices? Is there not a way to have the Integrator do this by using the parameters ‘storage_type’ & ‘my_table_name’?
I forgot about this! The Integrator uses Meta Box's function
rwmb_get_value()to get field value and that already handles the storage type. Theoretically, it should work! Can you please just try it and let me know how it goes?KeymasterHi Dave,
It was probably a bug in the extension when updating the version. I couldn't replicated it in my localhost. So I think it's all fine now. BTW, we're updating the extension soon.
KeymasterHello James,
Thanks for asking the great question! You're indeed right about 90%.
Meta Box uses WordPress standard way to store post meta. So it should work in most cases as normal custom fields for FacetWP.
However, there are 2 cases that we need to handle: clone and multiple fields, as you can see in this code: https://imgur.elightup.com/ONbJioO.png
The reason is clone values is saved as serialized array in the post meta, thus, it's not the standard WP way. Actually, WP doesn't have mechanism to save such kind of data yet. So, we have to find a way to work on that. Because FacetWP doesn't process serialized array, we have to do that.
The other case of field with multiple values, although it's the WP's way, but I still pull all the data just for sure.
So, if all of your fields (or the fields you want to filter) is just normal / uncloneable fields, you can just use FacetWP without any problem. In other cases, the extension will help.
KeymasterHi James,
Unfortunately, no. The FacetWP plugin doesn't handle data stored in a custom table 🙁
KeymasterHi Dave,
Just fixed the bug. Somehow the meta box status (post status) is saved as an empty string, so they don't show up.
I fixed by doing a trick: first query all meta boxes with
post_type=anyto get all the ID. Then go to URL domain.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=ID&action=edit and change the post ID to be able to edit the meta box. Finally, go to tab Settings and set the status to Published.Now all meta boxes are visible.
KeymasterHi Dave,
It's hard to know what the problem is. Please send me an admin account to [email protected].
KeymasterHmm, that's quite strange. If it shows All (3), then that means the meta boxes are there. Can you make a screenshot?
KeymasterHi Jackky,
You can write a custom storage for this purpose. Take a look at this:
https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/tree/master/inc/storages
Then you can filter to
rwmb_get_storageto use your custom storage:https://github.com/wpmetabox/meta-box/blob/master/inc/functions.php#L227

KeymasterAh, I see. Currently there's no such an option for that :(. I found a solution on StackExchange that you can try.

KeymasterHello naomivd,
Thanks a lot for your feedback! As you requested on Feb, I will send the refund. FYI, we’ve just updated the Builder extension and if you have a chance to look at the plugin, it would be great.
PS: Just refunded.
KeymasterI found this solution. It works for simple fields.
KeymasterHello,
