Meta Box

Glad that you made it 🙂

The rwmb_meta returns the value for current post. So the code above works only if you're viewing the attachment page. To make sure it works, you can provide the attachment ID as the 3rd param: rwmb_meta( 'sw_link', 'type=url', $attachment_id );

Hi,

The file_input field store the URL of the image in the post meta, so if you use rwmb_meta() function, you will get the URL of the file.

In case you want to use more sizes of the file, WordPress has a helper function to retrieve attachment ID from the URL attachment_url_to_postid(). The sample code looks like this:

$speakergroup = rwmb_meta( 'cf_speakers' );
foreach ( $speakergroup as $speakerdata ) {
  $attachment_id = attachment_url_to_postid( $speakerdata['cf_speakerpic'] );
  list( $src ) = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $attachment_id, 'thumbnail' );
  echo '<a href="' . $speakerdata['cf_speakerurl'] . '" target=_blank><img src="' . $src . '" class="circle wp-post-image"></a>';
}

Did you put it in the post content? The shortcode shows value only if you put it in the post content (or where it's rendered).

If you put it in another place like theme's files, you should use:

<?php echo '[rwmb_meta meta_key="image3"][/rwmb_meta]'; ?>

Hi Saquib,

The Show/Hide extension doesn't remove the input from the edit screen. It only toggles the input using CSS. That means both the inputs are there and that makes the browser users the latest value to send to PHP.

In this case, I suggest you use the Include/Exclude extension. This extension works similar to the Show/Hide, but it removes the input completely from the screen (if it's not included).

The other way is using different ID and then you can add a simple condition in the frontend to get the correct meta value.

Hope that helps.

Hi kleis,

Currently it's not supported. We have a plan to develop this.

Hi,

I've just updated the extension with the fix for this bug. Please update it.

Thanks.

That's so great. Thank you very much!
