Basically you need to add the html of the select dropdown at your function inventory_information()
which is the function that actually displays the metabox:
// The Event Location Metabox
function inventory_information() {
global $post;
// Noncename needed to verify where the data originated
echo '<input type="hidden" name="inventorymeta_noncename" id="inventorymeta_noncename" value="' .
wp_create_nonce( plugin_basename(__FILE__) ) . '" />';
// Get the location data if its already been entered
$stocknum = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_stocknum', true);
$vin = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_vin', true);
$saleprice = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_priceone', true);
$internetprice = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_pricetwo', true);
$milage = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_mileage', true);
$carfaxurl = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_carfaxurl', true);
//here you add the dropdown as value if already set so you add something like
$my_dropdown = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_dappcf_i_dropdown', true);
// Echo out the fields
echo '<p>Stock #: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_stocknum" value="' . $stocknum . '" class="widefat" style="width:80px" />
Milage: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_mileage" value="' . $milage . '" class="widefat" style="width:80px" />
VIN: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_vin" value="' . $vin . '" class="widefat" style="width:200px" />';
echo '<p>Sale Price: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_priceone" value="' . $saleprice . '" class="widefat" style="width:80px" />
Internet Price: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_pricetwo" value="' . $internetprice . '" class="widefat" style="width:80px" />';
echo '<p>CarFax url: <input type="text" name="_dappcf_i_carfaxurl" value="' . $carfaxurl . '" class="widefat" style="width:170px" />';
//here you add the HTML of the dropdown you add something like
echo '<p>Select menu: <select name="_dappcf_i_dropdown" class="widefat">';
echo '<option value="1"'. $my_dropdown == "1" ? ' selected="selected"' : ''. '>' . 'Option 1'. '</option>';
echo '<option value="2"'. $my_dropdown == "2" ? ' selected="selected"' : ''. '>' . 'Option 2'. '</option>';
echo '<option value="3"'. $my_dropdown == "3" ? ' selected="selected"' : ''. '>' . 'Option 3'. '</option>';
echo '<option value="4"'. $my_dropdown == "4" ? ' selected="selected"' : ''. '>' . 'Option 4'. '</option>';
//add as many as you need here
echo '</select>';
}
and then just add that field to your metabox save function which is txpbs_save_events_meta
so:
// Save the Metabox Data
function txpbs_save_events_meta($post_id, $post) {
// verify this came from the our screen and with proper authorization,
// because save_post can be triggered at other times
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['inventorymeta_noncename'], plugin_basename(__FILE__) )) {
return $post->ID;
}
// Is the user allowed to edit the post or page?
if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_post', $post->ID ))
return $post->ID;
// OK, we're authenticated: we need to find and save the data
// We'll put it into an array to make it easier to loop though.
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_stocknum'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_stocknum'];
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_vin'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_vin'];
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_priceone'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_priceone'];
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_pricetwo'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_pricetwo'];
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_mileage'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_mileage'];
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_carfaxurl'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_carfaxurl'];
//here just add the dropdown field to the $station_meta array from the $_POST
$station_meta['_dappcf_i_dropdown'] = $_POST['_dappcf_i_dropdown'];
// Add values of $station_meta as custom fields
foreach ($station_meta as $key => $value) { // Cycle through the $station_meta array!
if( $post->post_type == 'revision' ) return; // Don't store custom data twice
$value = implode(',', (array)$value); // If $value is an array, make it a CSV (unlikely)
if(get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, FALSE)) { // If the custom field already has a value
update_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);
} else { // If the custom field doesn't have a value
add_post_meta($post->ID, $key, $value);
}
if(!$value) delete_post_meta($post->ID, $key); // Delete if blank
}
}
Hope this helps.
