Meta Box

I think there are 2 issues here:

• Read-only attribute, and
• Validation for user input

From MDN

A Boolean attribute which, if present, indicates that the user should not be able to edit the value of the input.
The difference between disabled and readonly is that read-only controls can still function, whereas disabled controls are not submitted with the form and generally do not function as controls until they are enabled.

So, it's better to prevent user to change value from a read-only date picker (the 1st issue).

The validation issue is quite different and I think can be solved with @brandonjp's solution with pattern attribute.

Another issue with readonly is that it will ignore the required attribute (ref in the MDN docs above), which sometimes is a problem.

Hi Aart Jan,

Is there a technical/design reason not to support it this way?

Yes, it's designed to work for single post type at the moment. Making it works for multiple post types at once is not supported at the moment, due to a lot of technical problems.

Hi Manoj,

The reset functionality is not built-in. You can add the following code into your theme's functions.php file to add the reset button:

add_action( 'mb_settings_page_submit_buttons', function() {
    submit_button( 'Reset', 'secondary', 'reset', false );
    ?>
    <script>
        jQuery( function( $ ) {
            $( '#reset' ).on( 'click', function( e ) {
                e.preventDefault();
                $( 'input[type="text"]' ).val( '' ); // Clear input values
                $( 'input[type="radio"],input[type="checkbox"]' ).prop( 'checked', false ); // Uncheck radio, checkbox
            } );
        } );
    </script>
    <?php
} );

The JS code is very basic and is just an idea how it works for basic fields. You might need to adjust it to make it work for other fields.

Hi Alex,

I got the access details. And I found that you haven't installed the MB Group extension. I installed it for you and it works.

It's the default browser behavior. I found an answer for that here. Please try this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_frontend_post_thumbnail', function( $field ) {
    $field['attributes'] = [
        'accept' => 'image/*',
        'oninvalid' => 'setCustomValidity()',
    ];
} );

And write a custom JS function setCustomValidity to handle the invalidity.

Hi Darren, can you please try re-installing the plugin? I've just checked and see the Loader class is available within the plugin.

Yes, it's possible. Each relationship meta box has an ID: {$relationship_id}_relationships_from and {$relationship_id}_relationships_to. You can include these IDs in the form shortcode to show it on the front end.
