Meta Box

Hello Peter,

Just to make sure...
For my project, am I doing it the right way with Meta Box - I have a doubt?

1 Creating a Post Type called Country (Meta Box | slug: countries | Hierarchical)

2 Creating a Field Group called Countries, with all fields that I need for each country (Meta Box | Location: Post type > Country (countries))
- 2.1 and I added some categories (continents in this case)

3 Creating all countries post into my Countries Post Type… (France, Spain...)
- 3.1 filled-up all fields into each country (e.g. France, Paris, French...)
- 3.2 used in each country post the Gutenberg area to make for each country an article

As my Country Post Type (slug: countries) is hierarchical, Meta Box did create the page into my WordPress Pages, right?
(sorry, but I can't remember if I did create it myself)

So far, everything if working properly (beside of the menu), and that way I can see that my countries and hierarchical, and the breadcrumb is reacting properly.

Are these steps the way to proceed for my case with Meta Box, or I am doing it the wrong way?

Thank you,
Eric

Hi Peter,

Yes, I took care of the IDs, and that was easy because it's only the beginning of the project.
So far, I am glad that I thought of this way, because I had a lot of data (all countries), and plugins & tools for that were not 100% sure and pretty expensive (Excel → SQL).
Anyway, thanks for your expertise 🙂

Hi There,

I have found a way to solve my problem..., with a plugin!
User Post Limit

But, if there is an option inside Meta Box to do what I need, I'm still interested 🙂

Hello Peter,

It sounds like there isn't an "easy" way to implement my idea 🙁
I will search for an expert developer in JavaScript, with knowledge of WordPress, Oxygen and Meta Box.

Thank you,
Eric

Thank you, Peter,

But I have tried this code already, and, whatever I do, it isn't working for what I want to do.
With your code, I get only a little circle (if no text), or a text color background only if I add some text in the PHP (<div><h>...</h><p>...</p></div>).

In my case, I dont want to add a text to get a background color, just want to get the MB Color to give a background color to an existing DIV, in my Oxygen template (this DIV has other DIVs inside with texts and icons).

Do you have another idea?

Or maybe I am something?

Thank you,
Eric

Hello Peter,

Thank you so much for this clarification, because I had a look at this page, without a good focus!

Actually, I took it first the wrong way. I was trying to do the same thing, but with only the Post Type selected, and not with a normal Post.

Anyway, I did change some things and adapt others, to make it work.

Now, a member can fill up the long form with details he may need, to get automatically its own details online (hosted) - after approval (pending).

The member can manage and update is details directly from is Paid Membership Pro Dashboard, with also the help of a Meta Box shortcode... (link).

I did found the solution for members who when to upload images directly from the form, and so far it works (link).

Now I wonder how I can make this Meta Box form multilingual... lol
Do I have to simply duplicate the Meta Box form?

Thank you,
Eric
