KeymasterYes, all of the methods above should work. The way we load Meta Box and extensions doesn't matter too much, because the Group extension is loaded on
inithook and at that time Meta Box is already loaded.Anh Tran
KeymasterYou can set default values for cloned fields by assigning an array of values to
stdparameter.Assuming you have a cloned text field
phoneswhich store phone numbers. You can set default value like this:$default = array( '0123-456-789', '001-002-003', ); // Then in your field array( 'name' => 'Phone numbers', 'id' => 'phones', 'type' => 'text', 'clone' => true, 'std' => $default, )September 7, 2016 at 11:10 PM in reply to: Groups should be native functionality, not a premium extension #4034Anh Tran
KeymasterHi Sam,
Currently, I recommend using TGM Plugin Activation to include the extensions in a plugin or theme. It's safe and just works.
But if you want to include it without listing it as an actual plugin, you can simply copy it into your theme/plugin and include the main file of the extension. It works in most cases, but sometimes there are compatibility troubles (not many). You should do this only when you really need.
Regarding your question about the necessity of the Group extension: it's not always true. Most people and most premium themes only need simple solution for custom fields where the core free plugin is enough. I also make premium themes on ThemeForest and most of them only requires Meta Box. Group is helpful for (I guess) digital agencies where they create complex websites with complex data for their customers. I think you're one of them ๐

KeymasterHi,
Currently, wysiwyg can be put in the first level of group only. Putting it in a multi-level subgroup might break the cloning feature. If there's nothing special, I suggest using the textarea for that instead.
Thanks

KeymasterIf the reinstalling fixes the bug, I guess somehow the installed version of MB plugins misses some files. That's strange, but can be.

KeymasterHi Sam,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Currently, Group is the most popular extension that generates most of the revenue for us. So, making it free hurts the business, at least at the moment. But that doesn't mean that we won't in the future. We need to grow the business while would like to give back to the community as much as possible.
Regarding the Composer, we did release Meta Box as a standalone package on Packagelist, so using it with Composer is just easy. I'm not sure how to release a private repo on it and share the access to users. If you know any way or method to do that, please just tell me. I'm open to any idea.
Thanks

KeymasterDo you see any error in the Console? As the editor doesn't show up correctly, I guess the error comes from JavaScript. Any error in the console would help.

KeymasterHi, we had a fix for that in the development version of the main plugin on Github. We'll release it soon later this week or early next week. In case of urgent, please download and use the development version.
