Meta Box

Hi catarinacarraro,

I've just tested with your code and I see the std value works, the radio with value "Em" is checked by default:

Hi, in order to convert data from 1 format to another format, you need to understand how data is saved in the database. Here is the documentation for this. For group, data is saved as an array, each element of which is the value of sub-fields.

In this case, if you are using simple text field, your data is just multi rows in the database, so getting values will not be a big problem. But I'm not clear how you want to put them in a group? Will the text field is a sub-field of the new group? If so, you can use the following code:

<?php
$text_id = 'TEXT_FIELD_ID';
$group_id = 'GROUP_FIELD_ID';

$posts = get_posts( array(
	'posts_per_page' => -1,
) );
foreach ( $posts as $post )
{
	$text = rwmb_meta( $text_id, 'type=text', $post->ID );

	$meta_key = "{$group_id}[{$text_id}]";
	update_post_meta( $post->ID, $meta_key, $text );

	// delete_post_meta( $post->ID, $text_id ); // Remove old data, use with care
}

Hi, you can use post field with 'post_type' => 'page'.

Hi Flikweert,

I understand your concern, but there's no way to handle image upload in the group for now.

But you can use another way to achieve that by using file_input field. It works similar to all image fields (can Browse or Upload images), but doesn't have preview. It's not 100% perfect for your needs, but it works for now.

Hi, there's a way to change the returned value of rwmb_meta which can be useful for your case.

The filter is rwmb_meta also and we can do like this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta', 'prefix_meta', 10, 4 );
function prefix_meta( $meta, $key, $args, $post_id )
{
    if ( ! is_search() )
        return $meta;

    // If this is search page, do whatever you want with the returned value $meta
    $meta = '';
    return $meta;
}

Thanks for your replies. Let me check it.

Yes, of course. You can use the following code to output the full URL of an image:

$image = rwmb_meta( 'field_id', 'type=image' );
echo $image['full_url'];

For more information, please read this documentation.

FYI, this feature is now available in version 4.5.4. Please update the plugin to use it.

Enjoy!
