Meta Box

Hi Lucjan,

We've just finished the feature and the code is available on Github. Please download and try it.

In a couple of days, I'll release a new version of Meta Box and write a tutorial about that.

To upload to custom folder, please use file field and set a new attribute upload_dir to the path of the new folder, like this:

array(
    'type' => 'file',
    'id' => 'f',
    'name' => 'File',
    'upload_dir' => '/path/to/your/folder/', // You can use ABSPATH . '/downloads/'
)

Hi Mark,

1) I started to do an extension for the Customizer 2 years ago. But the more developing, the more I realized that I had to rewrite the whole plugin to port it to JavaScript. So, I stopped. At the moment, the MB Settings Page only supports back end pages, not in the Customizer.

2) To make it compatible with Customizer, you need to set 'option_name' => "theme_mods_$themeslug" in your settings page. Then the MB Settings Page will save data into theme mods, which are used by the Customizer.

Hi David,

No, the plugin use $wpdb directly to add/update the data. Please use this:

global $wpdb;
$data = [
    'ID'      => $post_id,
    'field_1' => 'value_1',
    'field_2' => 'value_2',
];
$wpdb->insert( 'your_table', $data );

Please use this function:

$meta_box = rwmb_get_registry( 'meta_box' )->get( 'YOUR_META_BOX_ID' );
$fields = $meta_box->fields;

Hi, thanks a lot for your feedback and debug. I'll check the bundled version in AIO and fix it asap.

Hmm, couldn't find anywhere the JSON value is stored.

However, I found something confusing in your code:

This part:

if( is_string($field['value']) && is_array(json_decode($field['value'], true)) ) {
        $array = json_decode( $field['value'] );
        $i = 0;
        foreach( $array as $value) {
          update_post_meta($post_id, '_property_' . $new_level . '_' . $field['key'], $value[$i]);
          $i++;
        }
      } else {...}

Here you check if $field['value'] is a json-string. But when you decode it with $array = json_decode( $field['value'] );, then $array will be an object! Not sure why the next foreach loop work.

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!
