You’re not doing it correct.
It has all been explained and described with examples here.
Basically you echo the values in your theme files like:
echo rwmb_meta( 'dob' ); (where dob is the ID of your field
thanks for your response @ Piet. This is what i saw:
$images = rwmb_meta( 'gallery', 'type=image' );
foreach ( $images as $image )
{
echo "<a href='{$image['full_url']}' title='{$image['title']}' rel='thickbox'><img src='{$image['url']}' width='{$image['width']}' height='{$image['height']}' alt='{$image['alt']}' /></a>";
}
I am wondering after changing ‘gallery’ to ‘my field id’, is there anything else to change. I don’t seem to get this working.
I’m not sure I understand.
If you have properly defined the metabox, you should be able to replace ‘gallery’ with ‘your_field_id’ and it should work.
If you don’t define the size in the args, then it will by default grab the information for the thumbnail, as the documentation states:
The information is attached with a specific image size, so don’t forget to add size=your_size in $args. Otherwise, you’ll get the infomation for thumbnail size.
Thanks for your quick response.
This is the code in my functions.php:
add_action( 'admin_init', 'rw_register_meta_box' );
function rw_register_meta_box()
{
// Check if plugin is activated or included in theme
if ( !class_exists( 'RW_Meta_Box' ) )
return;
$prefix = 'rw_';
$meta_box = array(
'id' => 'ministrylogo',
'title' => 'Personal Information',
'pages' => array( 'ministry_post'),
'context' => 'normal',
'priority' => 'high',
'fields' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Ministry Logos',
'type' => 'thickbox_image',
),
)
);
new RW_Meta_Box( $meta_box );
}
I am trying to get image using the code below in my index.php:
$images = rwmb_meta( 'ministrylogo', 'type=image' );
foreach ( $images as $image )
{
echo "<a href='{$image['full_url']}' title='{$image['title']}' rel='thickbox'><img src='{$image['url']}' width='{$image['width']}' height='{$image['height']}' alt='{$image['alt']}' /></a>";
}
I also tried replacing the field name (ministrylogo) with “rw_ministrylogo” but still does not work.
I really don’t know whats happening unless i am not doing the right thing.
Your code doesn’t look like the complete code from the demo.php file.
What I usually do for my custom metaboxes is the following:
1. I copy the demo.php file from the demo folder of the plugin to an inc or lib directory in my theme
2. I rename the file to something like cmb.php and add an include (or require) call to it in my functions.php file
3. I then fill out the entire cmb.php file and delete the fields I do not need.
4. if you then make the call from your template files, you will see that it works.
This whole “procedure” is clearly described in the plugin’s documentation
