Meta Box

You're right. The Columns extension will wrap fields on 12 grid. That means two wysiwyg editors are in the same row and the remaining in the same row. There is a trick to wrap 3 columns in the same row, by setting the second column to column of 5 instead of 6:

array(
	'name'    => false,
	'id'      => "{$prefix}sect_editor",
	'type'    => 'wysiwyg',
	'columns' => 6,
	'raw'     => true,
	'options' => array(
		'textarea_rows'     => 15,
		'wpautop'         => false,
	),
),

array(
	'name'    => false,
	'id'      => "{$prefix}sect_editor2",
	'visible' => ['uk_sect_layout', 'layout2'],
	'type'    => 'wysiwyg',
	'columns' => 5,
	'raw'     => true,
	'options' => array(
		'textarea_rows'     => 15,
		'wpautop'         => false,
	),
),

// Image Columns
array(
	'name'             	=> esc_html__( 'Section Images', 'codice' ),
	'id'               	=> "{$prefix}sect_image",
	'visible'          	=> ['uk_sect_layout', 'layout1'],
	'type'             	=> 'image_advanced',
	'columns' 			=> 6,
	'force_delete'     	=> false,
	'max_file_uploads' 	=> 2,
	'max_status'       	=> false,
),

// Layout options
array(
	'name'    => esc_html__( 'Layout', 'codice' ),
	'id'      => "{$prefix}sect_layout",
	'columns' => 3,
	'type'    => 'select',
	'options' => array(
		'layout1' => esc_html__( 'Image', 'codice' ),
		'layout2' => esc_html__( '2 Columns', 'codice' ),
	),
),

Please try and let me know if you have any problem.

Cheers!

Dear uththamag,

Sorry to make you feel confusing, I've checked both Columns and Conditional Logic and see it works as your requested. Please see my example and let me know if you have further problems.

Dear xoomserve,

Here is the example which I've created with MB Builder:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_register_meta_boxes' );

function your_prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {

    $meta_boxes[] = array (
      'id' => 'untitled-metabox-2',
      'title' => 'Untitled Metabox',
      'pages' =>   array (
         'post',
         'page',
      ),
      'context' => 'normal',
      'priority' => 'high',
      'autosave' => false,
      'fields' =>   array (
         
        array (
          'id' => 'properties',
          'type' => 'taxonomy',
          'name' => 'Properties',
          'taxonomy' => 'product_type',
          'field_type' => 'select',
        ),
         
        array (
          'id' => 'another_text_field',
          'type' => 'text',
          'name' => 'Text Field',
          'visible' =>       array (
            'when' =>         array (
              array (
                 'taxonomy_2',
                 '=',
                 '4',
              ),
            ),
            'relation' => 'and',
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );

    return $meta_boxes;
}

Basically, you can register your taxonomy field and another field normally. And then, in related field (Text in this example), just define your conditional logic:

'visible' => ['your_taxonomy_id', '=', 'taxonomy_value']

Hi, I don't want to much nested arrays. In case sub-fields in groups are organized in columns, there will be a nightmare of nested nested arrays.

After reviewing the code, I think we can still achieve everything by this code:

fields => array(
    array(
        'columns' => 4,
        'class'   => 'custom-column-class',
    ),
),

We have class attribute for fields, so let's use it instead of creating another attribute.

Thanks a lot. Just fixed the bug with the editor!

Cheers

Hi,

I guess the problem is when you hook send_mails_on_publish. Probably it's hook too soon, sooner when Meta Box updates post meta.

Currently Meta Box uses save_post_{$post_type} with priority = 10 to save post meta. You should hook after that (at save_post or at the same hook with higher priority).

Looking at the function params, I think you're using transition_post_status. It's fired in wp_transition_post_status function that runs before save_post_* hook.

Hmm, can you post your full code here to check? Also, what is your PHP version and OS?
