Meta Box

Hi,

This problem is caused by the validation library. It checks by the ID attribute. When cloning, we change the ID (by appending _1, _2, etc.) and thus, break the validation. We'll try to find a solution soon.

Hi zac, I've just fixed the bug with checkbox list. Please update the extension.

Hi, I think you need to separate them into 2 meta boxes. In this situation, the logic is applied to only 1 CPT. It's better to separate them.

You can put fields into a parameter to save your code, like this:

$fields = array(); // Your fields for both meta boxes here
$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'first-id',
    'post_types' => 'page',
    'show' => array(),
    'fields' => $fields,
);
$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'another-id',
    'post_types' => 'solution',
    'fields' => $fields,
);

Thanks a lot for your info. I will check and fix the errors. Looks like the AIO plugin caused it.

Hi, POST works, actually.

Here is the code that implements that.

You can send data in json format (string) or an array in format (field_id => value).

I pushed a new version yesterday with an improvement for this. Please just update.

Thanks for your reply. I see 1 problem with the syntax above: what if we have multiple flex-item?

Currently, we're working on an improved version of Columns, which supports syntax like this (similar to tabs):

$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'title'      => 'Test Columns',
    'columns' => array(
        'column-1' => 4, // Short syntax
        'column-2' => array( 'size' => 8, 'class' => 'custom-class' ), // Advanced syntax
    ),
    'fields' => array(
        array(
            // ...
            'column' => 'column-1',
        ),
        array(
            // ...
            'column' => 'column-2',
        ),
    ),
);

I think this syntax makes thing easier to implement. I tried using nested syntax, but it requires to completely rewrite the plugin, which might break backward compatibility.

I'll think more about the flex syntax. My goal is making it as simple as possible. Currently, I see it's kind of complicated.
