Meta Box

Hi David,

Thanks a lot for your examples. That makes the picture a lot clearer. I will read more about this (probably Posts 2 Posts is the best one in WP ecosystem, right?). In the mean time, would you mind sharing how you have implemented a solution before?

Great! Happy holidays 🙂

I've found the bug and fixed it in version 1.2.12 of Group extension. Please update.

Hi,

For your needs, the image_select field seems to be the suitable field type. However, it doesn't have the pagination or search feature. To do that, I think you need to write a custom code using a filter library like ListJS (there are probably more libraries).

You can hook to rwmb_enqueue_scripts action to enqueue your JS like this:

add_action( 'rwmb_enqueue_scripts', function() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'listjs', 'URL here' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'listjs', 'URL here' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'your-js', 'URL here' );
} );

And in your JS file, you can write the JS that does the filtering or searching.

Hi,

I think hooking to wp_insert_post_data is too generic as it fires every time a post is added/updated.

The extension already have 2 filters that you can use to change the post data when saving: rwmb_frontend_update_post_data for updating posts and rwmb_frontend_insert_post_data for creating new posts. Previously it has only 1 params: the submitted post data. But I've just updated the extension, adding 2nd parameter: the shortcode params, so you can use to check whether you are on the right meta box.

This is sample code:

add_filter( 'rwmb_frontend_insert_post_data', 'your_function', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'rwmb_frontend_update_post_data', 'your_function', 10, 2 );
function your_function( $data, $config ) {
    if ( $config['id'] !== 'your_meta_box_id' ) {
        return $data;
    }
    // Your code to get post_title
    $data['post_title'] = ...;
    return $data;
}

Please try it and let me know if you need anything. I can update the extension to make it works for you.

Hi Hazmi,

Regarding the 1st problem, can you please describe steps to replicate it? I couldn't replicate on my side. But my guess is the saved value in the DB. If you already saved values of your fields into an option, then when you add a new field which has name already registered before, then the value might be taken from the previous one. Not sure if that's the case, but you can try remove the option in the DB and try again.

Regarding the problem with QTag, do you have any wysiwyg field in your settings page? QTags is available only for the editor. With the code above, I can't see anything in the console:
