Most documentation is relevant, but needs to be thoroughly scoured and updated.

• Store within array of CMB2_Boxes as a basic array
• Instantiation on get, if $meta_box is not an object already, store new object back in $meta_boxes
• Store as $meta_boxes[ 'object_type' ][ 'meta_box_id' ] = $meta_box;
• Add ability to remove meta boxes
• Ability to add fields to meta boxes
• Ability to remove fields from meta boxes

CMB2 objects should not be setup for each meta box / field defined in cmb2_meta_boxes filter until called and needed on a page. Avoid processing / cleanup of data prior to storage for performance.

Hi,

Adding a composer.json file would be great for people who use Composer as a dependency manager.

Thanks !

Currently clicking 'Remove' when there's only one item in the list will send you to the top of the page via /wp-admin/post-new.php?post_type=page#. If there are multiple items, it works as expected (not sending to top of page, preventing default link).

When building a select input my values are being truncated. This is happening even with the example form input.

Example

array(
                    'name'    => 'Test Select',
                    'desc'    => 'Select an option',
                    'id'      => $prefix . 'test_select',
                    'type'    => 'select',
                    'options' => array(
                         'standard' => __( 'Option One', 'cmb' ),
                         'custom'   => __( 'Option Two', 'cmb' ),
                         'none'     => __( 'Option Three', 'cmb' ),
                    ),
                    'default' => 'custom',
                ),

output

<select class="cmb2_select" name="_cmb2_characters[0][_cmb2_test_select]" id="_cmb2_characters_0__cmb2_test_select">    <option value="s" >Option One</option>
    <option value="c" >Option Two</option>
    <option value="n" >Option Three</option>
</select>

I have a need for rgba color with my usage of this field and I would imagine others may need additional color spaces as well. It would be nice if could choose the format to use for colors in the options as well as alpha level.

So (hex, rgb, hsv) + alpha (are there others people regularly use?)

This field should probably be using the html5 input=[color] as well.
There is a jquery plugin http://bgrins.github.io/spectrum/ it looks pretty robust.

I would be willing to work on this if there is interest. Until then I will be adding this in as a custom field type for my project.

'pages' is unintuitive and ambiguous. 'object_types` is probably most relevant as it accepts CPTs as well as 'user', 'comment', 'options-page' (etc?).

Is there any interest making the groups collapsible? I have this working on the master branch, sadly I didn't realize I should have been working against truck until I went to make a pull request.

The new html and/or css really breaks the layout of my code and I wanted to know if there was any interest in merging this feature before I went any further getting things working on trunk.

How do I apply show_on filter on CMB2, more specifically this https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/wiki/Adding-your-own-show_on-filters#example-page-slug-show_on-filter and that https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/wiki/Adding-your-own-show_on-filters#example-front-page-show_on-filter

Hi there,

I'm a fan of your plugin.

Just wondering if it will be added in CMB2?
Something like this http://docs.reduxframework.com/core/fields/sorter/

It would be useful. ;)

Thanks

The sanitization_cb is great, but doesn't let you bail on the saving process or throw an error to the screen. There should be a way to bail or return a WP_Error from sanitization_cb, or add a loop prior to the saving process to handle this which would stop saving entirely.

The layout of the calendar is the standard of the jQuery UI, it completely out of the standard of wordpress layout. It's very UGLY!

"show_on_cb" => "some_function" not called when "type" => "group"
seems to be working with other field types

I am working on making a good base theme that has all dependencies manage by composer.

It would be great if this was in packagist. I would submit it but I believe the package author is supposed to submit it here: https://packagist.org/packages/submit

I could add it to my composer.json file like so ( https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md#loading-a-package-from-a-vcs-repository ) but that is typically reserved for forking libraries.

I'm sure a lot of other people would like to see this in packagist too :)

Ability to bypass update / remove like you're able to override value.

I want to create switch feild but i don't know what how to create please check my code below

echo '<div id="bounds">';
echo '<label class="on"><input type="radio" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '"><span>'.$this->field['on'].'</span></label>';
echo '<label class="off"><input type="radio" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '"><span>'.$this->field['off'].'</span></label>';
echo '</div>';

}

html and css can be find here

Looks like date_format is only ever applied inside of text_date_timestamp(). I would assume we want it to be applicable to text_time and text_date, but I'll leave it up to your discretion

I'm getting some strange inconsistencies. I have a large metabox that uses a few wysiwyg editors.
One example is:
array(
'name' => __( 'Description', 'rich-recipes' ),
'id' => $prefix . 'description',
'type' => 'wysiwyg',
'options' => array(
'media_buttons' => false,
'textarea_name' => $slug . 'description',
'textarea_rows' => 12,
'teeny' => false,
'tinymce' => array(
'toolbar1' => 'bold,italic,underline,link,unlink,',
),
'quicktags' => false,
),
'before_row' => '

In the 'options' array i've tried to set 'wpautop' => false as shown the opposite here: https://github.com/WebDevStudios/Custom-Metaboxes-and-Fields-for-WordPress/wiki/Field-Types#wysiwyg

Here's the strangeness: No matter what I do, the first people never uses wpautop and ALL the other wysiwyg fields DO use it. No matter what I do with the setting or if I remove it altogether.

Any ideas? I've been digging, but no luck.

When I try to access the function cmb2_metabox_form from my functions.php or any other theme file I get Call to undefined function cmb2_metabox_form().

I checked using function_exists method as well, it returns false.

I have been trying to access this same at multiple places, but no luck. Only places where it works are the helper-functions.php, CMB2.php and in init.php inside the class definition.

It would be great if you can help in figuring it out.

It would be great to define whether the description should be before the field (after title) or after field. Example: for wysiwyg having the description below the text editor is awkward because you sometimes don't see it until you scroll down. I'd prefer them above.

The option to declare it globally (per metabox) and/or override it per field would be awesome.

Hi

When I use a text_money field and do not declare the before attribute the $ symbol is printed at the left of the input field. When I declare another symbol like euro the symbol is printed at the top of the field's description.

Code:

$prefix = 'rlp_mb';

$meta_boxes['themed_info_mb'] = array(
    'id'            => 'themed_info_mb',
    'title'         => __( 'Informations', rlp_txtd ),
    'object_types'  => array( 'themed', ), // Post type
    'context'       => 'normal',
    'priority'      => 'high',
    'show_names'    => true, // Show field names on the left
    'fields'        => array(
        array(
            'name'       => __( 'Duration', rlp_txtd ),
            'desc'       => __( 'The duration of the themed.', rlp_txtd ),
            'id'         => $prefix . 'th_duration',
            'type'       => 'text_small',
            //'show_on_cb' => 'cmb2_hide_if_no_cats', // function should return a bool value
            // 'sanitization_cb' => 'my_custom_sanitization', // custom sanitization callback parameter
            // 'escape_cb'       => 'my_custom_escaping',  // custom escaping callback parameter
            // 'on_front'        => false, // Optionally designate a field to wp-admin only
            // 'repeatable'      => true,
        ),
        array(
            'name' => __( 'Meeting time', rlp_txtd ),
            'desc' => __( 'The time of the meeting', rlp_txtd ),
            'id'   => $prefix . 'th_mt',
            'type' => 'text_time',
            'time_format' => 'H:i'
        ),
        array(
            'name'       => __( 'Meeting point description', rlp_txtd ),
            'id'         => $prefix . 'th_meeting_desc',
            'type'       => 'textarea_small'
        ),
        array(
            'name' => __( 'Prices', rlp_txtd ),
            'desc' => __( 'Every row represents the number of persons. First row is the price of the tour for one person, the second row is the price of the tour for two persons etc.<br>'
                .'If the selected number of person, by the client on the front end, is not definied the last row will be used as a price.', rlp_txtd ),
            'id'   => 'th_pp_price',
            'type' => 'text_money',
            'before'     => '&euro;', // override '$' symbol if needed
            'repeatable' => true,
        ),
    )
);

Wordpress version : 4.0
CMB2 version : 2.0.0-beta

Thanks!

I'd like to include CMB2 via Packagist, but there isn't a version number to lock into, and I'd rather not include the branch under development. Would you mind tagging a beta release? Or is it close to coming out of beta?

First of all thanks for your time and your effort creating this awesome framework.

I had installed Wordpress with yeoman wordpress generator. The wordpress installtion folder is different from the content folder.

Wordpress version : 4.0
CMB2 version : 2.0.0-beta
Localhost enviroment : Windows 7 SP1, XAMPP 3.2.1

wp-config.php

if (!defined('WP_SITEURL')) {
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/ai/cms');
}
if (!defined('WP_HOME')) {
define('WP_HOME', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/ai');
}
if (!defined('WP_CONTENT_DIR')) {
define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', dirname(FILE) . '/content/');
}
if (!defined('WP_CONTENT_URL')) {
define('WP_CONTENT_URL', 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/ai/content');
}

I tried to add a metabox and the resources do not load. Specifically the cmb2.min.css, jquery.timePicker.min.js, cmb2.min.js. I get a 404 error.

The problem occurs on the resources path. A trailing slash is missing at the end of the WP_CONTENT_URL.

It is http://localhost/ai/contentthemes/ai/inc/admin/cmb2/css/cmb2.min.css?ver=4.0 and should be http://localhost/ai/content/themes/ai/inc/admin/cmb2/css/cmb2.min.css?ver=4.0

If I add at the end of WP_CONTENT_URL a trailing slash is working but all permalinks have two trailing slashes.

Thanks in advance.

If you have a lot of fields for a page, instead of having one long list we could display them in tabs like Advanced Custom Fields offers. Ex: http://cl.ly/image/1x1x3r0Y0l3U

Would you please suggest how to make work CMB Field Type: Select2?

I can't figure out how to edit this line of code: call_user_func( $field['type'], $field, $meta );
It generates an error.

Would you please provide more details?

Thanks ;)

Having the ability to require specific fields (JS tweaks needed too) would be great, stopping submit from happening and highlighting the fields in question. Adding support for a JS trigger / PHP to hook in for custom validation would be great at the same time as part of #62

WDS/me/(others? @pmgarman?) listed at the top as maintainers, and the rest (all who have received props) to be listed as contributors.

Hello,

Thanks for the great plugin. I'm here with a little problem.
If empty metadata how to hide video tag ?

Display the meta data:

There seems to be a bug with the repeating fields using a custom field type. In this case it's a post field type that displays posts from a few different post types. When the post is saved, it ignores the items that were deleted.

Here's a Gist of the mb setup and function:
https://gist.github.com/bearded-avenger/ff479f01bc1bbf24fbf1

Here's a quick screencast of what's going on.
http://cl.ly/151z2Y1y340E

CMB2 in our case is being used as a dedicated plugin that other plugins and theme tap into within our network. The custom filed is in the same php file that loads the init.php from CMB2. Just trying to provide as much context as I can here.

This works with a core field such as textfield_small. however when switched to this custom field type, the odd behavior above is experienced.

What do you think about putting a parameter to allow required fields, or even the title of the posts and Wordpress itself.

Scenario: I have a repeatable group including some radio and checkbox inputs. For those, I have set some default values but when I click on Add Another Item, inside the cloned group those inputs don't contain default values.

Considerations: I see that in cmb2.js file groups are "repeated" through jQuery clone() method, in a few words jQuery clones the last group on the page. What's the best way to get those inputs automatically populated with default values?

Cheers,
P.

This would be awesome!

Hey,
I have added this plugin as a library of my own plugin. How to show values/contents in front end? For example if I upload an image (repeatable group field), then how to show that image in front end?

Thanks

I'd like to propose 2 changes that would work together.

I'm looking to add a before and after field hook that would be outside of the cmb-row. Because cmb-row's are currently li's it would make more sense if they were div's so the added content wouldn't screw up the list.

The hooks would most likely require a parameter of $field_id or something similar, so we can specify which field we are targeting.

This would make things much easier for a plugin i'm working on, and more versatile in general.

Are semantics the only reason for using li's? (mostly referring to non-repeater field items)
