Meta Box

Just found the bug and pushed a fix on Github. Can you please test that?

Are you using the latest version of the extension? This feature has just been added in version 1.1.0.

Hi,

Thanks for asking this. There are 2 internal helper functions rwmb_get_value() and rwmb_the_value() which are used in rwmb_meta() function. They're not 100% stable since v4.8.0 so I haven't put them in the docs yet.

Briefly, rwmb_get_value returns the raw value stored in the post meta, while rwmb_the_value returns (or outputs) the *meaningful* value in the frontend. Meaningful = option label for select box, post title for post field, a colorful dot for color field, etc.

Both functions accept the same parameters as rwmb_meta. Parameters also share the same meaning.

rwmb_get_value( $field_id, $args = array(), $post_id = null )
rwmb_the_value( $field_id, $args = array(), $post_id = null, $echo = true )

They also use $post_id if you want to get meta value from a specific post.

In your case if the result goes unexpected, please try setting up the $post_id. Anyway, there was also a topic reporting the same problem happened because of wrong post ID. But I couldn't find out why

Hi,

I think you're doing correctly. However, I will think more about a better way to suppress the error. For now, all fields' classes are loaded by autoload and it makes us impossible to use class_exists.

Hi buzzmn,

The reason you don't see the new extensions in the download bundle is at the time your purchased the bundle with a lower price, the extensions have not been published. When new extensions are added to the bundle, the price increase. So you purchased for the current extensions at that moment. The new bundle requires higher price. Please understand that the bundle doesn't guarantee all current and future extensions. It has current extensions with a corresponding price.

I highly recommend to include the main plugin and extensions using the TGM Activation Class. The TGM Activation Class is being proposed to be included in WordPress core. So, we have good reasons to use it.

But, if you want to include the tab extension in your theme anyway, then you have to do 2 things:
- Include the plugin main file
- Enqueue correct CSS/JS files

Your code above only did the 1st thing. To enqueue CSS/JS file, you can do this:

add_action( 'rwmb_enqueue_scripts', 'prefix_meta_box_tabs_enqueue' );
function prefix_meta_box_tabs_enqueue()
{
    wp_enqueue_style( 'tabs-ext', get_template_directory_uri() . '/inc/meta-box-tabs/tabs.css' );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'tabs-ext', get_template_directory_uri() . '/inc/meta-box-tabs/tabs.js', array( 'jquery' ), '', true );
}

Please double check the URL to files tabs.css and tabs.js.

Hi Yumikom,

Unfortunately, WordPress doesn't support saving custom fields in the revision by default (even custom fields in the default Custom Fields meta box). This requires some work on that and we haven't done it yet.

Hi Roberto,

Can you please post your code?
