Meta Box

Hi man,

Thanks again for sharing your idea.

Basically, Conditional Logic is the extension to show or hide meta box fields or whole meta box. Each field or meta box id is unique, so we cannot registered two fields or meta boxes at a same time.

That feature which you've requested is to change the field options (or values) when the conditional is meet, currently, we don't support it but as a great idea, we'll try to implement this feature on the next major update, about late August.

Hi alsk

Sorry for late reply, I've double check our plugin and it's supports page template. Can you please check your theme if template exists?

Hi catarinacarraro,

Thanks for your question, unfortunately, we're currently not support that feature yet. We'll mention it to think a way to improve our Conditional Logic.

Thanks and Best Regards.

Hi catarinaarraro,

As your logic, this is my snippet, you can edit to fit to your project:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function( $meta_boxes )
{
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id' 			=> 'brand_product',
		'title' 		=> 'Brands and Products',
		'post_types' 	=> array( 'post', 'page' ),
		'context'		=> 'normal',
		'priority'		=> 'high',
		'fields' => array(
			array(
				'id'	=> 'fone_id',
				'name'	=> 'Brand',
				'desc'	=> 'Pick Your Favourite Brand',
				'type'	=> 'select',
				'options' => array(
					'apple' 		=> 'Apple',
					'android' 		=> 'Android',
					'windowsphone' 	=> 'WindowsPhone'
				)
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'apple_products',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('iPhone', 'iPad', 'iPod'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', '=', 'apple' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'android_products',
				'name'	=> 'Select your android product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array('Galaxy', 'ZenPhone', 'Tablet'),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', '=', 'android' )
			),
			array(
				'id' 	=> 'windowsphone_products',
				'name'	=> 'Select your apple product?',
				'type'	=> 'checkbox_list',
				'options' => array( 'Nokia', 'Galaxy' ),
				'visible' => array( 'fone_id', '=', 'windowsphone' )
			)
		)
	);

	return $meta_boxes;
} );

Hi Alona,

Thanks for using our plugins.

We wouldn't recommend you include plugin in theme, the reason is same as Include Meta Box Plugin In Themes/Plugins, you can use TGM Activation Class to tell users that your theme is required that plugin.

But incase you really need to include plugin into your theme, here is the solution. Looks like you've already purchased MB Conditional Logic, so I'll use this plugin and twentyfifteen theme for example:

1. Copy whole plugin directory to your theme, for example twentyfiteen/inc
2. Open your functions.php, add this snippet to the last:

if ( is_admin() )
{
	define( 'MBC_URL', get_template_directory_uri() . '/inc/meta-box-conditional-logic/' );
	define( 'MBC_DIR', get_template_directory() . '/inc/meta-box-conditional-logic/' );

	require MBC_DIR . '/meta-box-conditional-logic.php';
}

Or you can change inc directory to whatever you want.

Best regards

Hi umtang41,

Just want to notify you. Did you used Conditional Logic? Does it solved your problem? And please don't hesitate to tell us if you have problem or confusing when using it 🙂

Hi Maxell,

That fatal error happened when you assign a value to function. You cannot do that.

For this problem, we'll need to change the logic before $smof_data has overridden by rwmb_meta. After that, we have no chance to do it. For example, we'll assign each $smof_data index with rwmb_meta key only if current page is not search page. You can post some lines on that file and I'll have a look at with you.

Regards.
