Meta Box

Just nudging this question, as I'm in a similar situation again. I've got a number of different taxonomies attached to a custom post type, and I'd like to group them together within a MB field group, but using the standard WP interface.

Can you add the option for standard category/tag interface to the options for rendering taxonomies (select, select_advanced, checkbox, etc) and just use the post_tags_meta_box and post_categories_meta_box callback embedded in the field group?

Or is it not that simple?

Further to this, I've set both of these relationships to 'show as an admin column', and the relationships show up in the schools posts list, but not in the Users list - so it seems in general the user creation and listing parts are not behaving as expected.

Please note however, this is currently using the MetaBox Builder - I have not put the code into my plugin as yet. I tend to test things in the Builder first and then add the PHP once I'm happy with all the settings. I'm just mentioning this in case it might make a difference.

Thanks again Long,
Yes that's what I had to do in the end: get all users first, get the metadata attached to all users, then extract the users with the specified term.id.
It seems that is the quickest (only) way

EDIT:
The top query I put in DOES work with a bit of modification:

{% set users = mb.get_users({
        meta_key: 'the_custom_taxonomy', 
        meta_value: term.id,
        meta_compare: 'LIKE',
})%}

BUT, if the term.id I'm looking for is '4', it also returns term ids LIKE that, ie, '44', '104' etc.
So, I guess now my question is how to search for exact values in serialized arrays...
I have tried meta_compare 'IN' and '=' and they return 0 results....

This is not resolved. You have put a fix in a repository somewhere and the core code is still broken.
There is no official update, so any of your existing software distributions are broken.
You have given no indication of when to expect the official update, so now I'm going to have to hack your code to get this to work so that my clients can get on with building their site.
It's really quite disappointing given that we are paying for this product. It's also the second time that an update has broken previously working functionality. The last time it was URL fields.
What assurances can you provide that this kind of thing won't happen again? We paid for the full Metabox suite in order to speed up development, but instead I find myself chasing down bugs that you have introduced and hacking core plugin code because you still haven't released an update 9 days after releasing a fix. 9 DAYS!!! Come on!

Just to add to this,
I have all debugging on, and nothing is showing on-screen or in the console. Have also tried the old 'disable all other plugins' thing and it definitely seems to be an issue with one or the other plugin.
Thanks

I'm mainly thinking of when you want to have a taxonomy field in a metabox with other custom fields or taxonomies...

The main reason I started doing it is because I'm currently writing a plugin that has a LOT of taxonomies and custom fields for a custom post type, and the client wanted to group together related elements so as to avoid having so many metaboxes.

And it was really straight-forward using the functions I mention above. It would be useful for my purposes, but I can see it's a bit of an edge case 🙂
