Meta Box

Still works fine for me. Make sure you change 'post' to 'page' if you are wanting it to work on your pages.

If you need it for both posts and pages, then use this.

// Remove the editor. Change 'post' to your custom post type.
add_action( 'init', function () {
    remove_post_type_support( 'post', 'editor' );
    remove_post_type_support( 'page', 'editor' );
} );

Hey Peter,

Sorry if it was confusing ... I know about href and anchor tags, what I am referring to is the Twig markup for the href.

In my code you can see I am using either {{ hero_button_1_url }} or {{ hero_button_2_url }} to reference the custom field name. As you can see they are using the button tag, so I have a custom field for the button name and also the button href (which is using the Page field.

In my example the front-end output breaks and it is caused by {{ hero_button_1_url }} or {{ hero_button_2_url }} within the href, so my code is not correct.

Hey there,

Yes, some border, background, padding to help separate the different areas of data. MB is just a white block and very messy -- where ACF is clean and much easier to read.

JUst a thought. Cheers

Hey Long,

Thank you for your reply and yes, I know I can do that with the custom post type. But what if I do not use a post type and just creating a custom fields for say a view template?

What I am ding is using metabox as a page builder -- so I would create a custom field group and them show it on a specific page. What I don't want showing up is the extra content editor, as I will have specific areas where the page content will be.

Are you able to do that? Or does it require a custom post type?

Cheers

Hey folks,

Sorry to reopen this thread ... but I noticed another issue that is related to this posting.

I can get the fields to render no problem now in the archives page, but that is it. It will no render the fields data on single page, single post, or shortcode.

Any thoughts?

Here is a video showing what I am running into: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft8TI3J8qQw

Hey Long,

Yes post type plural name is "Animals", the slug, which is autogenerated from the "Singular Name" is "animal". I also tried to change the slug so that it is plural as well, but did not work.

So after some digging (and maybe this should be put into your documentation) is that when you are adding that page/archive to your menu, you cannot add it from your "Pages" section, but rather from the post type section. You have to click on that post type, then "View All", then you have the Animal Archives which then shows the correct information.

So all is working but again this should not be so hard. Maybe consider updating your documentation with some clear understanding.

Cheers

Hey Long,

LOL, ok ... silly me, that was an easy fix. =)

Cheers
