Meta Box

Hi Dave,

I've just pushed a commit on Github to add supports for this. Please download the development version here: https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box (I will update the plugin a little bit later).

Instead of "move" description under the label, you just need to add parameter label_description to the field and that's done.

Hi,

1. You need to put this code in the meta box parameters, for more info, please read this docs:

https://metabox.io/docs/validation/

2. The current version of Meta Box only supports validating fields when editing posts/pages. I've made and improvement to support user meta and term meta. That feature is available on Github: https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box. I will update the plugin a little bit later when we fix some other bugs.

Hi,

I think you can do like this in your plugin:

$options = array(
    'ea' => 'Each',
    'hr' => 'Hourly',
    'day' => 'Daily',
    'wk' => 'Weekly',
    'mth' => 'Month',
    'yr' => 'Yearly',
);
$options = apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );

Then when registering meta boxes, just specify 'options' => $options.

It might be a better idea to wrap the value of options to a function like:

function prefix_get_unit_option() {
   $options = ...;
   return apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );
}

And use 'options' => prefix_get_unit_option().

This way you can make a repeatable field in your settings page and get the values, passing them to the prefix_get_unit_option() to build the array of options.

function prefix_get_unit_option() {
   $options = ...; // Default options
   
   $settings = get_option( 'option_name' );
   if ( ! empty( $settings['unit_options'] ) ) {
       foreach ( $settings['unit_options'] as $value => $label ) {
           $options[$value] = $label;
       } 
   }
   return apply_filters( 'prefix_unit_options', $options );
}

Hi Dave,

I've just tried the Admin Columns free version and it finds registered fields. What field types are you using? Because of different ways of storing data in the post meta, I think this plugin works only with the basic field types (such as text, wysiwyg, select, radio, etc.).

A simple solution is creating 2 meta boxes: 1 for your testtype where you use $content, 1 for the other post type.

I couldn't replicate the issue. Here is my screencast:

Hi, I couldn't replicate the bug. Can you post your code to register meta boxes?

Hi,

A. Is my basic view of what Metabox can do right?

The plugin only does the job of creating meta boxes and custom fields in the admin area. It doesn't handle the automatic showing the custom fields values in the frontend (because it depends on where you want to show them or how you want to use them).

I think it's half of what you want.

B. How do I get the customer fields visible in the frontend?

Please follow this documentation: https://metabox.io/docs/get-meta-value/

Can you give me more details on the error?
