Possibly a simpler way to handle this problem is just use the new wp_editor function (introduced in 3.3). The main drawback is described in the function description: … you cannot put it in meta-boxes that can be dragged and placed elsewhere on the page. Technically, you can, it’s just not going to play nice if … Read more
While it’s hard to give answers without knowing version numbers of plugin/theme/tinymce/wp/etc, my best guess is that it’s issues from the new tinymce4. I dealt with this a few months ago, here’s a github repo with an example on how to use with the new editor. If this is not the issue, or you are … Read more
Dynamically create check boxes for given post titles in WPAlchemy
sorry you were having trouble with my “Holy Grail”. It looks like you missed an important part in my functions.php sample: apply_filters(‘meta_content’,$simple_textarea->get_the_value(‘test_editor’)); You weren’t using WP Alchemy’s get_the_value method. So instead of: $richtextcontent = $page_type_richtext->the_value( ‘richfield’ ); yours should have been: $richtextcontent = $page_type_richtext->get_the_value( ‘richfield’ ); You were using the_value which echos out the value … Read more
WP Alchemy comes with example files that show the usage of virtually all field types; Example; <?php $mb->the_field(‘cb_single’); ?> <input type=”checkbox” name=”<?php $mb->the_name(); ?>” value=”abc”<?php $mb->the_checkbox_state(‘abc’); ?>/> https://github.com/farinspace/wpalchemy/blob/master/wp-content/themes/mytheme/metaboxes/checkbox-meta.php#L9
Here’s a piece of code similar to what I have used to fix the problem once imported the data: <?php define(‘MY_METABOX_ID’, ‘my_metabox_id’); define(‘MY_METABOX_PREFIX’, ‘my_metabox_prefix_’); define(‘MY_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE’, ‘my_custom_post_type’); // Include WordPress define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, false); define(‘WP_DEBUG’, 1); require_once(‘../wp-load.php’); // extract all MY_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE posts $q = new WP_Query(‘post_type=” . MY_CUSTOM_POST_TYPE . “&nopaging=true’); // for each post while($q->have_posts()) { $q->next_post(); $p … Read more
Phil, you will have to use the Loop and loop over all the posts from the post type you want, then with wpalchemy you can do the following (using the post ID): $sidebar_excerpt = $sidebar_excerpt_meta->the_meta( $post_ID ); See also: http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop
Managed to fix this by installing the “Advanced Tinymce” plugin. I found that when my main rich text editor was switched to “text” that the other editors displayed differently and outputted the html. Odd!
I changed the code to loop through all pages, instead of using wp_dropdown_pages() function. Following is the new code <?php while($mb->have_fields_and_multi(‘col2-project’)): ?> <?php $mb->the_group_open(); ?> <p> <span>Select Project</span> <?php $mb->the_field(‘project-id-2’); ?> <select name=”<?php $mb->the_name(); ?>”> <option value=””>None</option> <?php global $thispost; $myposts = get_pages(‘post_type=portfolio&post_status=publish’); foreach($myposts as $thispost) : ?> <option value=”<?php echo $thispost->ID; ?>” <?php $mb->the_select_state($thispost->ID);?> … Read more
So the solution after much cursing and pulling of hair was to ditch the WP_Query and go with get_posts instead, while referencing post_title like so: <div class=”my_meta_control”> <p>Add or subtract Athena projects related to this project.</p> <label>Available Projects</label><br/> <?php $args = array(‘post_type’ => ‘athena_project’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 1000); $items = get_posts($args); $mb->the_field(‘item’, WPALCHEMY_FIELD_HINT_CHECKBOX_MULTI); foreach ($items as … Read more
