Meta Box

Oh wow, unexpected. Thank you sir. I will take a look at it later today and let you know what I think.

Again, thank you for the update.

Hi there,

This is what I thought, however this will not work for me. See, in my theme one checkbox is available for the user. It is called "Hide Post/Page Title".

So when they install the plugin, that is when more checkboxes become available (the ones above). I just wanted to see if I could put them in order. If I can't...oh well....lol.

But thanks for trying anyway. I really do appreciate it.

Hi there,

Thank you for the reply. Sorry but my question was not how to set the order of metaboxes but the order of fields within a metabox. This is what I am using:

function tp_primo_edit_meta_boxes( $meta_boxes ) {
    // Loop throught all meta boxes to find the ones we need to change
    foreach ( $meta_boxes as $tp_primo_mb => $meta_box ) {
        // find the metabox we want to modify
        if ( isset( $meta_box['id'] ) && 'totalpress-post-page-options' == $meta_box['id'] ) {
            // then add the fields we want/need to our tab
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
	          'id' => 'totalpress_featured_image_layout_options',
	          'type' => 'radio',
	          'options' =>       array (
	            'page_header_contained' => esc_html__('Page Header Contained','tp-primo'),
	            'page_header_contained_title_overlay' => esc_html__('Page Header Cont. w/Title','tp-primo'),
	            'page_header_contained_title_overlay_parallax' => esc_html__('Page Header Cont. w/Title - Parallax','tp-primo'),
	            'page_header_full_width' => esc_html__('Page Header Full WIdth','tp-primo'),
	            'page_header_full_width_title_overlay' => esc_html__('Page Header FW w/Title','tp-primo'),
	            'page_header_full_width_title_overlay_parallax' => esc_html__('Page Header FW w/Title - Parallax','tp-primo'),
	          ),
			  'tab' => 'totalpress_featured_image_options',
			  'inline' => false,
	          'std' =>  array (
	             'show_below_title',
	          ),
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
	          'id' => 'tp_primo_page_header_height',
	          'type' => 'text',
	          'name' => esc_html__('Page Header Height','tp-primo'),
	          'desc' => esc_html__('Use PX, %, REM, EM and VH based values.','tp-primo'),
	          'tab' => 'totalpress_featured_image_options',
            );
        }    
        // find the metabox we want to modify
        if ( isset( $meta_box['id'] ) && 'totalpress-post-page-options' == $meta_box['id'] ) {
            // then add the fields we want/need to our tab
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_set_content_area_width',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Set Content Area to 100% Width','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_page_builder_options',
            );
        }
        // find the metabox we want to modify
        if ( isset( $meta_box['id'] ) && 'totalpress-post-page-options' == $meta_box['id'] ) {
            // then add the fields we want/need
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_top_sidebar',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide Post/Page Top Sidebar','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_header',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide Post/Page Theme Header','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_navigation',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide Post/Page Main Navigation','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_featured_image',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide Post/Page Featured Image','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_footer_widgets',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide All Post/Page Footer Widgets','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
            $meta_boxes[$tp_primo_mb]['fields'][] = array(
				'id' => 'tp_primo_page_options_hide_footer',
				'type' => 'checkbox',
				'desc' => esc_html__('Hide Post/Page Theme Footer','tp-primo'),
				'tab' => 'totalpress_hide_post_page_elements',
            );
        }
    }
    return $meta_boxes;
}
add_filter('rwmb_meta_boxes','tp_primo_edit_meta_boxes', 20);

I was referring to the last section of that code totalpress-post-page-options - there is a total of 6 checkboxes being added to that one specific metabox.

My question was how to set the order of those checkboxes without having to create a function for each one.

I hope that made sense.

Hi there,

Thanks for the suggestion, however I do not think that will work.

I am going to try and explain this one more time using a different meta box..

OK, so I have a metabox that I created and here it is:

	function how_do_I_use_radio_buttons_meta_box( $meta_boxes ) {
		$prefix = 'how_to_use_';

		$meta_boxes[] = array(
			'id' => 'how-to-use-radio-buttons',
			'title' => esc_html__('How To Use Radio Fields','text-domain'),
			'post_types' => array('post','page'),
			'context' => 'side',
			'priority' => 'default',
			'autosave' => true,
			'fields' => array(
				array(
					'id' => $prefix . 'radio_buttons',
					'type' => 'radio',
					'placeholder' => 'boogie',
					'options' => array(
						'button_one_selected' => 'Radio Button One',
						'button_two_selected' => 'Radio Button Two',
						'button_three_selected' => 'Radio Button Three',
						'button_four_selected' => 'Radio Button Four',
						'button_five_selected' => 'Radio Button Five',
					),
					'inline' => false,
				),
			),
		);

		return $meta_boxes;
	}
	add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'how_do_I_use_radio_buttons_meta_box' );

As you can see there are five (5) choices. I have five (5) questions regarding this metabox:

First question: When a user selects Radio Button One, how would I display "I Clicked on Radio Button One" somewhere in the theme?

Second question: When a user selects Radio Button Two, how would I display "I Clicked on Radio Button Two" somewhere in the theme?

Third question: When a user selects Radio Button Three, how would I display the words "I Clicked on Radio Button Three" somewhere in the theme?

Fourth question: When a user selects Radio Button Four, how would I display the words "I Clicked on Radio Button Four" somewhere in the theme?

Fifth question: When a user selects Radio Button Five, how would I display the words "I Clicked on Radio Button Five" somewhere in the theme?

So if you could answer those questions, then maybe I can understand how to use radio fields in meta boxes 😉

either way I try and use the code you provided above, nothing is happening? What am I doing wrong?

Just wanted to let you know that the information you had me read was SPOT ON!!!

After playing around with it, I got it working exactly the way I needed it to. Thank you so much and I appreciate the help. Merry Christmas to you and yours as well and very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Thanks again 😉
