Description
Create a group (metabox), then add fields to it.
Installation
As standard plugin:
See Installing Plugins.
As theme or plugin dependency:
After dropping the plugin into the containing theme or plugin, add the following:
if( ! class_exists( 'Voce_Meta_API' ) ) { require_once( $path_to_voce_post_meta . '/voce-post-meta.php' ); }
Usage
Example
<?php add_action('init', function(){ add_metadata_group( 'demo_meta', 'Page Options', array( 'capability' => 'edit_posts' )); add_metadata_field( 'demo_meta', 'demo_key', 'Title', 'text', array( 'description' => 'Descriptive string. Example: <code>Description</code>' ) ); add_post_type_support( 'page', 'demo_meta' ); }); ?>
Input Types
By default, Voce Post Meta comes with support for these input types:
Text Inputs
text
- A one line text input field.textarea
- A basic multiline text field.numberic
- The same as text field but sanitizes as a number on save.wp_editor
- Uses the full WordPress post content editor, for more advanced editing scenarios.
Selection
dropdown
- A dropdown select field.radio
- Radio button selection field.checkbox
- Checkbox input field for on/off toggling.
The dropdown
and radio
fields expect an options
argument passed into the options array. The options should be an array of $value => $label
pairs.
This field is optional for the checkbox
field; utilizing it will allow for multiple checkboxes under the same field and will cause the value to save as an array.
Additionally, for radio
fields and checkbox
fields that use the options
argument, an item_container
argument is available to specify the HTML tag used to wrap the individual items. The only currently allowed values are div
(default) and span
.
Misc
hidden
A hidden input field for saving meta outside of user control.
Standard Field Options
These are the optional args that all default fields accept, and that any extended fields are expected to handle.
<?php array( 'description' => '', // A short description of the expected value displayed with the field. 'default_value' => '', // The value to be shown and used when not set. // Override options 'capability' => '', // User permission level that must be met to edit the field. Defaults to edit_posts 'display_callbacks' => array(), // An array of valid callable functions to render the field display. 'sanitize_callbacks' => array() // An array of callable functions to sanitize the field value on save. ); ?>
