Meta Box

Hi, would you mind giving more details on how you setup the settings pages? The latest version has big changes, which we made to work with Customizer/Network settings. Please send me more details to debug on this. In my test with a normal settings page, I couldn't replicate the bug.

Hi Mark,

The parent param is used to specify the parent menu in the WP admin area. Setting it to themes.php make the settings page appear under "Appearance" menu.

In case of using Page Builder Framework theme, this theme doesn't have any admin settings page. All of its settings are in the Customizer. So you need to create sections and set the panel attribute to the PBF's panel's ID.

For example, the code below will create a new section in the Customize -> Blog panel:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function ( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id'             => 'my-custom-section',
        'title'          => 'Custom Section',
        'panel'          => 'blog_panel', // THIS
        'fields'         => array(
            array(
                'name' => 'Logo',
                'id'   => 'logo',
                'type' => 'file_input',
            ),
            array(
                'name'    => 'Layout',
                'id'      => 'layout',
                'type'    => 'image_select',
                'options' => array(
                    'sidebar-left'  => 'http://imgur.elightup.com/Y2sxQ2R.png',
                    'sidebar-right' => 'http://imgur.elightup.com/h7ONxhz.png',
                    'no-sidebar'    => 'http://imgur.elightup.com/m7oQKvk.png',
                ),
            ),
        ),
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
} );

And here is the result:

You can change the panel parameter to put the section under other panels. Here is how to find the panel IDs:

That probably relates with the permission that WordPress gives to the author. Please try with the code that adjust capabilities in this docs.

Hi Kevin, the std param should work on both back end and front end. I added some docs on setting std for groups a couple of days ago, please take a look.

You probably don't need to implement custom solution for ajax anymore. We have added ajax support for object fields in version 5.2. See this blog post for details.

Hi Austin, I've just checked and don't see the bug. Can you give me some details on that? What code do you use to register the meta box?

Unfortunately, it's not possible, since the form is not created by the plugin. The form is created by WP, so I think your solution here is the best one if you want to add autocomplete attribute to the entire form.
