Meta Box

Great, I just got the email. We'll talk in email for details 🙂

Glad that you've solved your problem 🙂

Hi Justin,

Thanks again for contacting us, I've checked your registered code and see that's a bug and we'll list in in our documentation shortly.

That bug happen when you define two field with similar ID, for example, 'hello' and 'hello_foo' or 'hello*' (* matches any characters)

To workaround, you can update:

'id' => $prefix . $slug . '_categories',

To

'id' => $prefix . 'categories_' . $slug,

Hi mendio,

Yes, you can do that using the rwmb_{$field_id}_value and rwmb_{$field_id}_meta filters (see this documentation) to change the displayed value and saved value. Here is the sample code:

add_filter( 'rwmb_ID_value', function( $value )
{
    return date( 'Y-m-d', strtotime( $value ) );
} );

add_filter( 'rwmb_ID_meta', function( $value )
{
    return date( 'd-m-Y', strtotime( $value ) );
} );

Don't forget to change ID to your field ID.

Hi Cararina,

Sorry for long response, we're still in progress to improving Conditional Logic. As this plugin uses Javascript to handle visibility of object and have to check many field conditional to generate results so it's hard to implements now. In your case, we'll have two ways to make it works natively:

1. Save it as cel_product_apple, cel_product_android or cel_product_windowsphone in DB then use fone_id to check what's field to output.

2. Save cel_product_apple, cel_product_android or cel_product_windowsphone in DB, then create another hidden field named cel_product, when post is saved, we also save the visible field to cel_product as an serialized array, then use unserialize function to show up.

Example (2),

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes )
{
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id' 			=> 'brand_product',
		'title' 		=> 'Brands and Products',
		'post_types' 	=> array( 'post', 'page' ),
		'context'		=> 'normal',
		'priority'		=> 'high',
		'fields' => array(
			array(
				'id'	=> 'fone_id',
				'name'	=> 'Brand',
				'desc'	=> 'Pick Your Favourite Brand',
				'type'	=> 'select',
				'options' => array(
					'apple' 		=> 'Apple',
					'android' 		=> 'Android',
					'windowsphone' 	=> 'WindowsPhone'
				)
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product',
				'type' 	=> 'hidden',
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_apple',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('iPhone', 'iPad', 'iPod'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'apple' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_android',
				'name'	=> 'Select your android product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('Galaxy', 'ZenPhone', 'Tablet'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'android' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'cel_product_windowsphone',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array( 'Nokia', 'Galaxy' ),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', 'windowsphone' )
			)
		)
	);
	return $meta_boxes;
} );

add_action('rwmb_before_save_post', function($post_id)
{
	// Get person ID to save from "Select a Customer" field
	$metabox_to_save = $_POST['fone_id'];

	// Save related field to phone field
	if ( ! empty( $_POST["cel_product_{$metabox_to_save}"] ) )
		$_POST['cel_product'] = serialize( $_POST["cel_product_{$metabox_to_save}"] );

	// Clear all hidden meta boxes
	foreach ( array('apple', 'android', 'windowsphone') as $field )
	{
		if ( $field !== $metabox_to_save )
			unset( $_POST["cel_product_{$field}"] );
	}
} );

To retrieve values in front end, just use:

$cel_products = unserialize( rwmb_meta('cel_product') );

Dear Justin,

I've checked with and it works, can you please tell me what's version you're using and provide your code to register meta boxes and define conditional logic?

Here's my snippet for example:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes )
{
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id' => 'brand_product',
		'title' => 'Brands and Products',
		'post_types' => array( 'post', 'page' ),
		'context'	=> 'normal',
		'priority'	=> 'high',
		'fields' => array(
			array(
				'id' => 'show_checkboxlist',
				'name' => 'Show Checkbox List',
				'desc' => 'Show Checkbox List when this checkbox is checked',
				'type' => 'checkbox'
			),
			array(
				'id'	=> 'brand',
				'name'	=> 'Brand',
				'desc'	=> 'Pick Your Favourite Brand',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array(
					'Apple' 		=> 'Apple',
					'Google' 		=> 'Google',
					'Microsoft' 	=> 'Microsoft'
				),
				'visible' => array('show_checkboxlist', true)
			)
		)
	);

	return $meta_boxes;
} );

Best regards

Glad to hear it's fixed!

Thanks for using Meta Box.
