Doing Metaboxes in WordPress the easy way

19. April 2015




Doing Metaboxes in WordPress the easy way

Adding Metaboxes in WordPress to your admin areas normally involves 3 steps:

  1. Action to define the metabox area
  2. Callback to define the metabox content
  3. Action to handle the metabox updates / saves

This can be done much easier using Custom Metaboxes and Fields for WordPress, which is a metabox, custom fields and forms library. The library provides a bunch of custom fields and also allows you to add your own easily. Much easier to build new Metaboxes fast!

List of field types included:

  1. title An arbitrary title field *
  2. text
  3. text_small
  4. text_medium
  5. text_email
  6. text_url
  7. text_money
  8. textarea
  9. textarea_small
  10. textarea_code
  11. text_date Date Picker
  12. text_time Time picker
  13. select_timezone Time zone dropdown
  14. text_date_timestamp Date Picker (UNIX timestamp)
  15. text_datetime_timestamp Text Date/Time Picker Combo (UNIX timestamp)
  16. text_datetime_timestamp_timezone Text Date/Time Picker/Time zone Combo (serialized DateTime object)
  17. colorpicker Color picker
  18. radio *
  19. radio_inline *
  20. taxonomy_radio *
  21. taxonomy_radio_inline *
  22. select
  23. taxonomy_select *
  24. checkbox *
  25. multicheck
  26. taxonomy_multicheck *
  27. taxonomy_multicheck_inline
  28. wysiwyg (TinyMCE) *
  29. file Image/File upload *†
  30. file_list Image/File list upload
  31. oembed Converts oembed urls (instagram, twitter, youtube, etc. oEmbed in the Codex)
  32. group Hybrid field that supports adding other fields as a repeatable group. *

I am a full-stack developer. My expertise include:

  • Server, Network and Hosting Environments
  • Data Modeling / Import / Export
  • Business Logic
  • API Layer / Action layer / MVC
  • User Interfaces
  • User Experience
  • Understand what the customer and the business needs

 

I love programming,  design and know my way around server architecture as well.  I would never feel complete, with one of these missing.

I have a broad range of interests, that’s why I constantly dive into new technologies and expand my knowledge where ever required. Technologies are evolving fast and I enjoy using the latest.

Apart from that, I am a peace loving guy who tries to have people around him that think the same.  I truly believe in the principle: “If you help someone, someone will help you, when you need it."
