Meta Box

Thank you Long, I appreciate it. There are two fields

Academic position:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => __( 'Profile: Academic Profile', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'     => 'academic_profile',
        'type'   => 'user',
        'fields' => [
            [
                
            [
                'name'          => __( 'Academic Position', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'            => $prefix . 'academic_position',
                'type'          => 'select',
                'options'       => [
                    'Distinguished Professor' => __( 'Distinguished Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Honorary Professor'      => __( 'Honorary Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Professor'               => __( 'Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Associate Professor'     => __( 'Associate Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Assistant Professor'     => __( 'Assistant Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Senior Lecturer'         => __( 'Senior Lecturer', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Lecturer'                => __( 'Lecturer', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Associate Lecturer'      => __( 'Associate Lecturer', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Junior Lecturer'         => __( 'Junior Lecturer', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Postdoctoral Researcher' => __( 'Postdoctoral Researcher', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'PhD Researcher'          => __( 'PhD Researcher', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Reader'                  => __( 'Reader', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Senior Research Fellow'  => __( 'Senior Research Fellow', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Research Fellow'         => __( 'Research Fellow', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Research Assistant'      => __( 'Research Assistant', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Research Consultant'     => __( 'Research Consultant', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Researcher'              => __( 'Researcher', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Journalist'              => __( 'Journalist', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Writer'                  => __( 'Writer', 'your-text-domain' ),
                ],
                'admin_columns' => 'after title',
            ],
        ],
    ];

    return $meta_boxes;
}

And academic_title

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );

function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    $prefix = '';

    $meta_boxes[] = [
        'title'  => __( 'Profile: About You', 'your-text-domain' ),
        'id'     => 'basic_profile',
        'type'   => 'user',
        'fields' => [
            [
                'name'    => __( 'Academic Title', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'id'      => $prefix . 'academic_title',
                'type'    => 'select_advanced',
                'options' => [
                    'Dr'        => __( 'Dr', 'your-text-domain' ),
                    'Professor' => __( 'Professor', 'your-text-domain' ),
                ],
                'columns' => 2,
            ],

And hard to share screenshot (although still can), but here is a copy and paste:

array(1) { [0]=> string(2) "Dr" }
NICE Test
array(1) { [0]=> string(18) "Associate Lecturer" }

Resolved.

Thank you Long!!!

Hi Long, do you have any idea whether it would be weeks or months. Only asking as will need to get working on a temp solution if months. I understand everything takes time, but knowing the rough time frame would help a lot.

Oh thats great!

And quick follow up question - when creating the taxonomy, does it matter the location where its saved? I assume not, but just wanting to check. I was choosing to attach it to my regular WP posts.

Thanks Long!

This worked, thank you!

The redirect is in my shortcode, not in this code. But I will remove die;. Thank you.

Hi Long,

Oh that would really be great. I will eagerly await the update! I thought it might have been simple using conditional logic. Will this feature be announced when it's ready? Want to make sure I don't miss it!

Oh ok, I had actually found that snippet, but had been trying with a button.

I also can't get it working... I am trying to use it with the checkbox, and when I check it and click "submit" it does not then let me. This is because not all the required fields have been filled. But the purpose of saving as draft is so that they can go back to work on it. When the button is clicked nothing happens to reassure the user that it has been saved. I would rather a button that can show next to the main submit button. "Draft" and "submit" - is there any way to achieve that?

Many thanks!
