Implement Meta Box Builder in my theme
-
Hello,
First of all, I am NOT a coder, but I am willing to edit files given instructions. With that said, I am working with a theme that uses Meta Box as field creation tool. It comes inside a functionality plugin provided by the theme. It also comes with the following Meta Box extensions: term meta, builder, columns, conditional logic, group, show hide and tabs. Apparently, they also used Meta Box to create their own field builder and here is where my problem comes in; they only have 3 field types (text, text area and select), no other types of fields nor conditional logic. I was able to identify their field builder file, but can’t make heads or tails of it (not being a coder and all). I know that there must be a way to replace their field builder with Meta Box’s field builder so it registers the added fields in the same manner as if they were added with their field builder, but now with all the advantages of the 40+ field types and the use of the included conditional logic extension. My question is: Can anybody point me in the right direction on how to implement this? I can post the code to that field builder file if it will help. And YES, I already asked the theme developer, but got no response. Thank you in advance.

Hi @rilwis
First of all, thank you for your response. You got HALF of my question. I know about your code generator, but the theme already has your meta box builder, however for some reason they do NOT have it activated within the theme. I already tried adding the code from your field builder to the pseudo-functions.php, but it didn’t work because they have MANY functions.php files all over. For example, they have their basic fields created with Meta Box in a file called themename-meta-boxes.php and from what I was able to see, for EACH field they have code in 6 or 7 files and in one file in 4 or 5 instances. I need to add over 80 fields, can you imagine adding each fields manually to all those files? I thought that making YOUR field builder work within THEIR field builder would be the saner approach, don’t you think? I just need the required code to hook their field builder with yours because their field builder automatically adds the fields to the details part of the listings form and listings page (it’s NOT ideal, but better than nothing). Like I said, I can post the code from their field builder file if it will help. Thank you again.
