Meta Box

Hi Joanne,

For example, if you created a field like this in Pods:

Then all you need to do is convert it to a Meta Box field with something like this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title' => 'A Custom Meta Box',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'id' => 'a_custom_text', // THIS: matches field's Name in Pods
                'name' => 'A Custom Text',
                'type' => 'text',
            ],
        ],
    ];
} );

Hi, I’ve just issued the refund for you. Would you mind giving some feedback? What features did you look for? It will help us improve the products. Thanks!

We have resolved this issue via email. Here is the solution in case anyone is interested in:

The solution is using some hook to output the shortcode dynamically, like this:

// We're adding a shortcode dynamically to a specific page
add_filter( 'the_content', function( $content ) {
    if ( ! is_page() || 123 !== get_the_ID() ) {
        return $content;
    }
    
    // We pass user ID via URL
    $user_id = isset( $_GET['user_id'] ) ? $_GET['user_id'] : '';
    // Create shortcode dynamically
    $shortcode = '[mb_user_profile_info id="your-meta-box-id" user_id="' . $user_id . '"]';

    return $content . do_shortcode( $shortcode );
} );

So, you can create a page like /edit-user/ and pass user ID via URL like this: /edit-user/?user_id=123

Hi Marge,

1. When password is added via rwmb-user-info meta box, it's always required. You can change it with the rwmb_profile_info_fields filter.

add_filter( 'rwmb_profile_info_fields', function( $fields ) {
    $fields['password']['required'] = false;
    $fields['password2']['required'] = false;
    return $fields;
} );

1. I don't see that problem on my localhost. Please see this video. Please check in the user profile to see if the user has set first name = username.

2. It's possible. You need to hook to get avatar function to change the avatar URL.

3. The image field actually doesn't show any file name. If you meant the "file" field, then yes, it shows only the file name.

4. You can hook to rwmb_profile_info_fields to add email fields to add email field, like this:

add_filter( 'rwmb_profile_info_fields', function( $fields ) {
    $fields['email'] = [
        'name' => 'Email',
        'id'   => 'user_email',
        'type' => 'email',
    ];
    return $fields;
} );

is there any way to avoid it ?

I'm afraid not. You might need to work on jQueryUI date picker to prevent this from happening.

But this will also be time consuming for user to create those things manually

You can also set the default value for groups. See the docs for details: https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-group/#setting-default-group-values

If your clients want to set time slots for each day, then you can use MB Group to do that, something like this (this is a group field):

[
    'type' => 'group',
    'name' => 'Time Slots',
    'clone' => true,
    'fields' => [
        [
            'id' => 'start',
            'type' => 'time',
            'name' => 'Start',
        ],

        [
            'id' => 'end',
            'type' => 'time',
            'name' => 'End',
        ],
    ],
]

Then you can get the slots in the front end for your booking app:

echo '<select>';
$slots = rwmb_meta( 'slots' );
foreach ( $slots as $k => $slot ) {
    echo '<option value="' . $k . '">' . $slot['start'] . ' - ' . $slot['end'] . '</option>';
}
echo '</select>';

Some notes: Your problem is very specific and what I'm trying to help you here is just an idea how to do that. This is out of the support scope. So, please understand it's might not a correct/final solution.

Hi,

You need to provide the option name in the settings page and put it in the 3rd parameter:

$settingData = rwmb_meta( 'bike_resources_detail', ['object_type' => 'setting'], $option_name );

Hi Sandra,

I've just checked your license key and see it works as expected. Can you check if you have Meta Box Updater installed? If yes, please remove it. It's not needed anymore.
