Use this class: http://www.deluxeblogtips.com/p/meta-box-script-for-wordpress.html and then call the metabox like this (don’t forget to read the manual and view some examples): $meta_boxes[] = array( ‘id’ => ‘textmetabox’, ‘title’ => ‘Your Meta Box Title’, ‘pages’ => array(‘post’, ‘slider’, ‘whatever-your-cpt-is’), ‘fields’ => array( array( ‘name’ => ‘Your thoughts about Deluxe Blog Tips’, ‘id’ => $prefix . ‘thoughts’, … Read more
I will answer myself after some research 🙂 while there might be appropriate ways of coding this with some custom function, for me there’s no need to reinvent the wheel when there’s a neat plugin that does the job it’s called “advanced custom fields” http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/ it has a “repeater” to let admins add more fields … Read more
What I would do is just create a custom taxonomy type to share between both custom post types that are dynamically created when a new post of the Clients type is created with the same title, then you can associate them without any custom meta handling.
I would create the instance of the class on init or even admin_init and not on ‘load-post.php’. Hooking into load-post.php will not add the boxes to NEW posts and only posts that are already saved. The correct hook to add meta boxes to ONLY new posts is ‘load-post-new.php’. If you want to have the meta … Read more
You’ll need to register the category taxonomy for the page post_type with register_taxonomy_for_object_type. This does the trick: <?php add_action( ‘init’, ‘wpse34528_add_page_cats’ ); function wpse34528_add_page_cats() { register_taxonomy_for_object_type( ‘category’, ‘page’ ); }
Featured Image box is internally a meta box, added using add_meta_box (ref. edit-form-advanced.php line no. 128). As far as my research went, there is no filter applied to the meta box title (ref. template.php line no. 846). Hence you cant change the metabox title using a filter. Though you can try printing the contents of … Read more
You need to add the third parameter to get_post_meta(), so get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘home’, true ) should at least get you closer. Just a note, in future, try doing a var_dump() or print_r() on the variable(s) in the condition that are evaluating in an unexpected manner, if you’d done that here you would have seen that … Read more
A Note: Actions and Filters are not really interchangeable: Filters typically must return the passed data or it’s going to break something. Building off of what m0r7if3r said, wp_insert_post_data is a filter, so you should be modifying the post’s $data and returning it at the end of the function. (Alternatively, you could global the variables … Read more
You could try this: get the ID’s of the attached categories and wrap your add_meta_box function inside a simple test against your defined cat ID. add_action(‘add_meta_boxes’, ‘is_in_cat_example’); function is_in_cat_example() { global $post; $category = ‘5’; // can be an array of ID’s as well if ( in_category( $category, $post ) ) { add_meta_box(…); } }
After reviewing your code there are a couple of things you need to change depending on where the meta content is being held. If you try $meta = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), ‘custom_text’, TRUE ); echo ‘The meta content is: ‘ . $meta;` That should give you the appropriate meta. You are calling this function on the … Read more
