Meta Box

Do you mean the marker sometimes does not appear or the map? I think with latest version of Tabs extension, the map appears all the time :), but please let me know for sure. I will check the marker, too.

PS: My pleasure to answer to your question at wp.org! Glad that it helped you to know the new way to register meta boxes!

Thanks for your feedback!

I've just updated the Tabs plugin, now it works with Google Maps in hidden tabs. Please update it and let me know.

I will check the question on wp.org and answer it there.

Thank you

Hi, umtang41.

Thanks for purchasing and installing MB Builder. To create a Image Select instead of Radio Buttons for selection. You can use Image Select field located under Advanced section. You'll see a field editor like so:

On the Value text field, enter the Value which you want to save to post meta and on the Image URL, specify the URL which you want to represent the radio.

Best regards.

Hi,

This is an good question about how the plugin store post meta in the database. The short answer for your question is "no" and here is why:

When the "clone" feature wasn't born, the plugin stores all meta data in the data base in a WordPress-compatible way, e.g. if field has single value, it will be saved in single row of postmeta table; if field has multiple values (set by 'multiple' => true), each value will be saved in single row of that table. This way you can use add_post_meta or update_post_meta field post's custom fields to retrieve meta value.

But when the "clone" feature is born, it's confusing to store each cloned value in a single row of postmeta table. Because we don't know these are values of clones, or values of the field with multiple = true. In order to make it work for all field types and for consistency, I decided to store cloned values in an array and store that array in single row in the postmeta table.

So, we can't use WP_Query to query based on value of a cloned field directly. I think your solution with foreach loop is a good solution for now.

Ah, you're right. I forgot to tell you that the latest version of Meta Box on Github has correct code which supports valid arguments for the filter. I will push it to wp.org so you can update the plugin now.

Your idea is interesting. At the moment, this feature has not been inplemented. I think it would be done with Javascript attached on the click event and update the Add more button class or disable attribute. I will think more about that and will imform you when it's done.

At the moment, the text for clone button is fixed. I will add a filter for you to change it in next version.

Oh, I see. The problem is you missed the fields parameter for group field. You have to do like this:

'fields' => array(
    array(
        'id' => 'group',
        'type' => 'group',
        'fields' => array( // you missed this parameter for group
            array(...),
            array(...),
        ),
    ),
),
