I recently published a meta box class named My Meta Box which takes care of most of the metabox creation and data saving and that was forked out of from Meta Box script by Rilwis.
Using the class is simple eg:
<?php
require_once("meta-box-class/my-meta-box-class.php");
if (is_admin()){
/*
* prefix of meta keys, optional
* use underscore (_) at the beginning to make keys hidden, for example $prefix = '_ba_';
* you also can make prefix empty to disable it
*
*/
$prefix = 'ba_';
/*
* configure your meta box
*/
$config = array(
'id' => 'demo_meta_box', // meta box id, unique per meta box
'title' => 'Demo Meta Box', // meta box title
'pages' => array('post', 'page'), // post types, accept custom post types as well, default is array('post'); optional
'context' => 'normal', // where the meta box appear: normal (default), advanced, side; optional
'priority' => 'high', // order of meta box: high (default), low; optional
'fields' => array(), // list of meta fields (can be added by field arrays)
'local_images' => false // Use local or hosted images (meta box images for add/remove)
);
/*
* Initiate your meta box
*/
$my_meta = new AT_Meta_Box($config);
/*
* Add fields to your meta box
*/
//text field
$my_meta->addTextField($prefix.'text_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Text Field'));
//textarea field
$my_meta->addTextareaField($prefix.'textarea_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Textarea Field'));
//checkbox field
$my_meta->addCheckboxField($prefix.'checkbox_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Checkbox Field'));
//select field
$my_meta->addSelectField($prefix.'select_field_id',array('selectkey1'=>'Select Value1','selectkey2'=>'Select Value2'),array('name'=> 'My select Field', 'std'=> array('selectkey2')));
//checkboxList
$my_meta->addCheckboxListField($prefix.'ch_list_field_id',array('selectkey1'=>'Select Value1','selectkey2'=>'Select Value2'),array('name'=> 'My CheckBox List Field', 'std'=> array('selectkey2')));
//radio field
$my_meta->addRadioField($prefix.'radio_field_id',array('radiokey1'=>'Radio Value1','radiokey2'=>'Radio Value2'),array('name'=> 'My Radio Filed', 'std'=> array('radionkey2')));
//date field
$my_meta->addDateField($prefix.'date_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Date Field'));
//Time field
$my_meta->addTimeField($prefix.'time_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Time Field'));
//Color field
$my_meta->addColorField($prefix.'color_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Color Field'));
//Image field
$my_meta->addImageField($prefix.'image_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Image Field'));
//file upload field
$my_meta->addFileField($prefix.'file_field_id',array('name'=> 'My File Field'));
//wysiwyg field
$my_meta->addWysiwygField($prefix.'wysiwyg_field_id',array('name'=> 'My wysiwyg Editor Field'));
//taxonomy field
$my_meta->addTaxonomyField($prefix.'taxonomy_field_id',array('taxonomy' => 'category'),array('name'=> 'My Taxonomy Field'));
//posts field
$my_meta->addPostsField($prefix.'posts_field_id',array('post_type' => 'post'),array('name'=> 'My Posts Field'));
/*
* To Create a reapeater Block first create an array of fields
* use the same functions as above but add true as a last param
*/
$repeater_fields[] = $my_meta->addTextField($prefix.'text_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Text Field'),true);
$repeater_fields[] = $my_meta->addTextareaField($prefix.'textarea_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Textarea Field'),true);
$repeater_fields[] = $my_meta->addCheckboxField($prefix.'checkbox_field_id',array('name'=> 'My Checkbox Field'),true);
/*
* Then just add the fields to the repeater block
*/
//repeater block
$my_meta->addRepeaterBlock($prefix.'text_field_id',array('inline' => true, 'name' => 'This is a Repeater Block','fields' => $repeater_fields));
/*
* Don't Forget to Close up the meta box decleration
*/
//Finish Meta Box Decleration
$my_meta->Finish();
}
Take a look at the class-usage-demo.php file which can also be tested as a WordPress Plugin. Other options are available for each field which can be see in the ‘my-meta-box-class.php’ file.
And also you can see it in use in my latest plugin ShortCodes UI
