Meta Box

Hi Arif,

This is more related to sorting values in PHP rather than with Meta Box. I'll try to give you the concept of doing that, please follow it. Your logic is complicated and I couldn't provide full code for you.

As I see you store all teams and their info in a group field goalkick_league_point_table_option, right? And for each team, you record the number of matches that the team won or lost, right? (I assume that, cause I don't know if that's the number of matches or number of scores for matches).

To sort teams, we will need to use usort() function.

Here is my first idea for sorting by scores:

function get_score( $team_details ) {
    $win = isset( $team_details['goalkick_league_standing_match_win_manual'] ) ? $team_details['goalkick_league_standing_match_win_manual'] : 0;
    $lost = isset( $team_details['goalkick_league_standing_match_win_manual'] ) ? $team_details['goalkick_league_standing_match_loss_manual'] : 0;
    return $win * 3;
}

$teams = rwmb_meta( 'goalkick_league_point_table_option' );
usort( $teams, function( $a, $b ) {
    $a_score = get_score( $a );
    $b_score = get_score( $b );
    
    if ( $a_score == $b_score ) {
        return 0;
    }
    return $a_score > $b_score ? -1 : 1;
} );

If you want to check by other conditions (2 and 3), then in the callback function of usort, add more conditions, like this:

usort( $teams, function( $a, $b ) {
    $a_score = get_score( $a );
    $b_score = get_score( $b );
    
    // Scores equal, sort by matches played.
    if ( $a_score == $b_score ) {
        $a_matches = get_matches( $a );
        $b_matches = get_matches( $b );

        // If matches equal, sort by something else.
        if ( $a_matches == $b_matches ) {
        }

        return $a_matches > $b_matches ? -1 : 1;
    }
    return $a_score > $b_score ? -1 : 1;
} );

It's fixed. Thanks for your feedback!

I got it. Let's try to fix the issue with the BB first.

Please deactivate everything related to Pods, since we don't need it anymore.

On the front end, if you keep your old modules / shortcodes, then the custom fields with Pods might be still outputted correctly. It's not a bug, it's just BB can still retrieve data from custom fields even when the plugin is deactivated. (Of course, the data is still in the database, so BB is able to retrieve it).

Regarding fields that you created with Meta Box, can you check if you installed and activated the MB Beaver Builder Integration extension? This extension helps you to output the custom field easier. See the screenshot on the plugin page and let me know if there's anything unclear.

Hi Jefferson,

Yes, it works only for new posts, since std is used when the meta box has not been saved before. For old posts, obviously meta box is already saved. So you need to do some migration. Perhaps you should share with us here ;). I think many users like that.

I'll fix the issue with My topics link now.

Hi Sam,

From the error, I think the MB Relationship is already activated on a sub-site before. Can you check that and make sure no sub-site activate the plugin before you activate it in the network?

Hi Mark,

The shortcode in BB is a wrapper version of rwmb_the_value() helper function. For terms, it returns a link to that term. And there's no extra arguments at the moment. We'll try to improve that later. It's might be a nice improvement for not only terms, but also posts, users, images.

@Sam: I'll answer you in your topics.

Both rwmb_* functions and WordPress's get_post_meta() don't use JSON at all. They use serialize for arrays. Maybe you need to check how data is saved in your case, just to make sure it's valid. Anyway, as the data is there, you can use json_decode function to decode it.
