Meta Box

Hi Jiro, you're right about the missing user in the update_user_meta call. I've just added that fixed.

Regarding the var_dump, it's not strange as the field registry (where all fields are stored) is structured like this:

object_type
  specific_type
    field 1
    field 2

For posts, object_type is post and specific_type is post type. For terms, it's term and taxonomy. For users, as there's no specific type, we use user and user.

Hi, please change the priority in the add_action from 0 to something greater than 20. Meta Box plugin register fields at priority 20 (to make sure all custom post types and custom taxonomies are available when they also use the init hook with priority 10). So, changing it to a number greater than 20 makes the meta boxes and fields available and you're able to use the helper functions to get the value.

Hi,

I think this can be done with custom JavaScript only. So you need to enqueue your JS file on the page that has the form, then in the code, when the form is being submitted, check if the value of the textarea is a mobile number or email address. If it is, then return false to prevent the submission.

This is a pseudo-code that might give you some idea:

jQuery( function( $ ) {
    $( '.your-form' ).on( 'submit', function() {
        var value = $( '#your-field' ).val();
        if ( checkIfIsMobileNumberOrEmail( value ) ) {
            return false;
        }
    } );
} );

Hi Jiro, please change the code for meta boxes to:

add_action( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_meta_boxes' );
function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        'id' => 'personal',
        'title' => 'Personal Information',
        'type' => 'user', // Specifically for user
        'fields' => array(
            array(
                'name'  => 'test mb for user',
                'desc'  => '',
                'id'    => 'test4',
                'type'  => 'text',
            ),
        )
    );
    return $meta_boxes;
}

Your code has 2 issues:

• The type of the field should not be string, it's text.
• The function doesn't return $meta_boxes.

I've just made a test with Postman and here is the result:

Assume you have this code to register your meta box:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_meta_boxes' );
function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        // Your meta box code goes here
    );
}

Then change it to:

add_action( 'init', function() {
     add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'prefix_register_meta_boxes' );
} );
function prefix_register_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    $meta_boxes[] = array(
        // Your meta box code goes here
    );
}

Hi Guy,

I've added that attribute. But in my test, even when adding it, the post type doesn't show in the admin menu for admins to view/edit them.

Hi Infolu, you just need to include the meta box with ID rwmb-user-info to the list of meta boxes in the shortcode, like this:

[mb_user_profile_info id="your-meta-box-id,rwmb-user-info"]

Hi,

Good trick on get_current_screen()!

Regarding the user language, the field ID (for user meta) is locale. However, the list of options you need to make by yourself.

The display name has the field ID display_name.

The "Sessions" button is just a simple button and you can do that with button field. However, to make sure it works like WordPress, you have to do the code to log out from everywhere by yourself.
