Meta Box

Hi Peter,

No problem, thank you for your reply. I just tried both suggestions:

1.) For the Textarea, it doesn't seem to have any effect and had the same result.

2.) For the Custom HTML area, I added the shortcode in there as well - however, I couldn't find a way to display that on the frontend.

It was added to the Custom HTML area in the Custom Fields group settings/config, but I didn't see it in the CPT record itself, or was able to find a way to output that out.

Given that Envira support was able to properly render the gallery directly, but once in a Metabox field it breaks, I suspect something in the output process of a metabox field is interrupting this process?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your note. Actually, I started this thread after working with Envira support because it appears the pagination for the Envira gallery shortcode, when added to a normal page looks fine.

But when added in a Metabox custom field, that is when it displays the abnormal behavior.

That's why I went ahead and created this ticket. Do you know if there's something that Metabox adds to it's custom fields that may be causing conflict with their gallery?

Thank you.

Ok, great! Thank you Peter.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your help! A quick update for you and for others that may stumble upon this when running into the same situation.

From what I understand, in Bricks Builder, the issue is that all dynamic tags will be sanitized before using on an element.

The workaround to have a form shortcode render from a Metabox WYSIWYG field on the frontend when using Bricks Builder is:

add_filter( 'wp_kses_allowed_html', function( $tags, $context ) {
  if ( ! isset( $tags['form'] ) ) {
    $tags['form'] = [
      'data-id' => true,
      'id' => true,
      'class' => true,
    ];
  }
  return $tags;
}, 100, 2 );

Can add this filter as a code snippet and it should render the output correctly. I've tested this in production and can confirm the solution works.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I've tried the above suggestion, but may be implementing it incorrectly? Here are the steps I took:

1. Activated and switched over to the Twenty-Twenty Two theme, then added the code into the functions.php file:

2. De-activated all plugins except Metabox, Classic Editor, and a form plugin for testing purposes

3. Added the helper shortcode into the Post Content area of the test record in the backend:

4. This is what I saw on the frontend:

5. Tested with a form plugin shortcode for a side-by-side comparison:

6. Frontend with MB and form plugin shortcode:

Could there be a step I missed during the implementation?

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your reply. I read through the link, plus the reference link in that thread and redid the logic.

For the most part, it looks like the nested views is working. Except when I got to the Reciprocal Relationship resultset.

After getting to that View, the records I pull back from that Relationship is the same title of the related record all 3 times, when I was expecting the titles of the 3 records selected in that Reciprocal Relationship.

Could I be missing something that's making it repeat itself?

Hi Long,

Thanks for the note, as I'm relatively new to Metabox and making the switch to be more "developer-ish", is there a video tutorial on how to do this with Oxygen? I'd love to be able to do all of these, but the documentation isn't as useful to me at this point as I don't really have much of an "end-to-end" view of how it all fits together and I'm still a relatively new developer.

Can you help provide a more interactive step-by-step view perhaps? Would be greatly appreciated - for this scenario and other future ones as well. I learn much better this way, and can start adopting Metabox to use if I can better know how.

Thanks much.
