Using fields

[rliriano]

Could you please add how to output the repeatable fields on a page.

Thanks

I need help with this too.

I forked this repo fixed some bugs and added onto it on my bitbucket.
Account I made some helper functions for outputting field data as well.

I'll post a link later on tonight.

@panarican Wonderful. Does it explain how to output Images and the rest of the field types as well? Thanks for your time.

[ke6et]

I've managed to get the image data:
<?php $sample_image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'sample_image', true); echo wp_get_attachment_image($sample_image, 'thumbnail'); ?>

Still need help with the other field types though...will be checking forum later today for link :)

Here's my repo that contains bug fixes and template helper functions
https://github.com/panarican/wordpress-boilerplate

Here's a link to the template helper functions:
https://github.com/panarican/wordpress-boilerplate/blob/master/inc/helper/template.php

Repeatable Example (I hope this helps):

// use this inside your loop it will give u a preview of how all your meta data looks inside your post
pre_meta();

// let's say you have a field name of photos_images that's repeatable
// and you want to get the the field image "img" inside of the repeatable group

$photosImages = get('photos_images');

// make a foreach
foreach($photosImages as $item) {
   // $item would be the individual item inside of the $photosImages array
   // to get the field with the name "img" associated with it
   $img = $item['img'];

   // to output the repeated img you can do something like this
   // the first parameter is the id of the image attachement
   // the second parameter is an array of the size of the image
   echo img( $img , array(107,62) );
}

@panarican hmm...with my poor skill in any of this, I could not understand anything within the files you linked to.

I just wanted to figure out how to display the data from fields on a page template, that's all.
Thank you for your time and help!

[panarican]

OK you can do the following:

You can copy all the functions on template.php file I linked too then
paste it into your functions.php file.

The snippet should still work just by doing that. If you have any questions
about the example code I posted I can go into more detail.

@panarican thanks for the feedback, I was able to out put all the info like so:

$prefix = 'MA_';

$music_options = array(
array( // Repeatable & Sortable Text inputs
'label' => 'Track Listing', //
'desc' => 'Track Listing, click on the green icon to add more tracks.', // description
'id' => $prefix.'tracks', // field id and name
'type' => 'repeatable', // type of field
'sanitizer' => array( // array of sanitizers with matching kets to next array
'number' => 'sanitize_text_field',
'title' => 'sanitize_title',
'lyric' => 'wp_kses_data'
),
'repeatable_fields' => array ( // array of fields to be repeated
'number' => array(
'label' => 'Track #',
'id' => 'number',
'width' => 'width:10%;',
'type' => 'text'
),
'title' => array(
'label' => 'Track Title',
'id' => 'title',
'width' => 'width:80%;',
'type' => 'text'
),
'lyric' => array(
'label' => 'Lyric',
'id' => 'lyric',
'rows' => '3',
'width' => 'width:80%;',
'desc' => 'Add track lyrics here (optional).',
'type' => 'textarea'
)
)
)
)
// Within my loop
global $repeatable_fields;
$repeatable_fields = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'MA_tracks', true);

function get_your_track_meta($array_values) {
    global $post;
        foreach ($array_values as &$value) {
            $html .= '<ul class="track-row">';
                     while (list($key, $field) = each($value)) {
                               $html .= '<li class="track-'.$key.'">'.$field.'</li>';
            }
            $html .= '</ul>';
        }
    return $html;
}
print get_your_track_meta($repeatable_fields);

It outputs each track as a ul list, hope this helps.

@rliriano I'm still not comprehending :/
If you have spare time do you mind giving me a few more details?

Do you place that whole function inside of your page template? Or within functions.php?

Please help..

[panarican]

@keihead can u post your array you used to generate your custom meta box?
That info would help me alot

@panarican No problem :)

$prefix = 'album_';
$fields = array(
    array( // Repeatable & Sortable Text inputs
        'label' => 'Repeatable', // 
        'desc'  => 'A description for the field.', // description
        'id'    => $prefix.'repeatable', // field id and name
        'type'  => 'repeatable', // type of field
        'sanitizer' => array( // array of sanitizers with matching kets to next array
            'featured' => 'meta_box_santitize_boolean',
            'title' => 'sanitize_text_field',
            'desc' => 'wp_kses_data'
        ),
        'repeatable_fields' => array ( // array of fields to be repeated
                'title' => array(
                'label' => 'Title',
                'id' => 'title',
                'type' => 'text'
            ),
                'featuring' => array(
                'label' => 'featuring',
                'id' => 'featuring',
                'type' => 'text'
            ),
                'producer' => array(
                'label' => 'producer',
                'id' => 'producer',
                'type' => 'text'
            ),
                'mp3' => array(
                'label' => 'mp3',
                'id' => 'mp3',
                'type' => 'text'
            )
        )
    )
);
$album_details = new custom_add_meta_box( 'album_details', 'Album Details', $fields, 'music', true );

[panarican]

Inside your while loop do this.

<?php
    $tracks = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'album_repeatable', true);
    foreach($tracks as $track) { ?>
        <div class="track">
            <h2><?php echo $track['title']; ?></h2>
            <div class="featuring"><?php echo $track['featuring']; ?></div>
            <div class="producer"><?php echo $track['producer']; ?></div>
            <div class="mp3"><a href="<?php echo $track['mp3']; ?>" target="_blank">Download MP3</a></div>
        </div>
    <?php 
 } ?>

@panarican THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D Works wonderfully!!! I have one last question if you have time...

For other fields like Select Menu, Slider, Checkboxes etc. do I display the data with a similar code as you provided above?

[panarican]

If the field isn't an array of items (like a repeatable field). Then it would most likely be.

<?php $field = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'field_name', true); ?>
<div class="field"><?php echo $field; ?></div>

[panarican]

You're Welcome 👍
