Can’t Get Page Meta Box to Work

[zuroma]

This is an amazing framework. I’m working through all the tutorials and everything works, fields, tabs, etc., but I cannot get Page Meta Boxes to show up no matter what I try.

No errors are being generated. Any tips on what to try or where to look to figure out why it’s not showing up?

If you’re curious, here is my code.

// 
// Meta Box 1
//
class GFUserQueries_MetaBox1 extends AdminPageFramework_PageMetaBox {
 	
 	public function setUp() {
    
        /**
         * Adds setting fields in the meta box.
         */
        $this->addSettingFields(
            array(
                'field_id'          => 'tutorial_normal_page_metabox_select',
                'type'              => 'select',
                'title'             => __( 'Select', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ),
                'label'             => array(
                    'a' => __( 'Apple', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ),
                    'b' => __( 'Banana', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ),
                    'c' => __( 'Cherry', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ),
                ),
                'is_multiple'       => true,

                ),
            ),        
            array(
                'field_id'          => 'tutorial_normal_page_metabox_textarea',
                'type'              => 'textarea',
                'title'             => __( 'Text Area', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ),

        add_filter( 'content_zpage1_my_tab_a', array( $this, 'replyToInsertContents' ) );
    }
    
     public function replyToInsertContents( $sContent ) {
        
        $_aOptions  = get_option( 'APF_Tabs', array() );
        return $sContent 
            . "<h3>" . __( 'Saved Options', 'admin-page-framework-tutorial' ) . "</h3>"
            . AdminPageFramework_Debug::getArray( $_aOptions );
        
    }

Two things I noticed.

1. You haven’t instantiated the extended admin page class GFUserQueries in your code.

2. Your page meta box extends the raw AdminPageFramework_PageMetabox class, not GFUserQueries_AdminPageFramework_PageMetabox.

Also, you should enable the debug mode with the WP_DEBUG constant in wp-config.php while you code.

Thanks so much!

I had instantiated the GFUserQueries, but I did extend the raw class instead of the generated one. I stared at it for so long as didn’t notice. I appreciate your help!

Glad it helped!
