  1. POGroup Custom Fields in meta boxes together for displaying as rows in a grid?
    text
    copied!<p>I have a custom post type I made for Products. It will have 10 custom field types like so:</p> <p>DocName1<br> DocUrl1</p> <p>DocName2<br> DocUrl2</p> <p>... and so on. Here's the code for the custom post type meta boxe for the custom fields:</p> <pre><code>//* Add custom Meta Boxes for Products *// $prefix = 'aps_'; //To prevent conflicts with other plugins $meta_box = array( 'id' =&gt; 'products-meta-boxes', 'title' =&gt; "Product Details", 'page' =&gt; 'tf_products', //attach to products custom post 'context' =&gt; 'normal', 'priority' =&gt; 'high', 'fields' =&gt; array( array( 'name' =&gt; 'Document Name 1', 'desc' =&gt; 'Name of PDF or Document you want to share', 'id' =&gt; $prefix . 'docname1', 'type' =&gt; 'text', 'std' =&gt; '' ), array( 'name' =&gt; 'Document URL 1', 'desc' =&gt; 'Web Address to PDF or document you want to share', 'id' =&gt; $prefix . 'docurl1', 'type' =&gt; 'text', 'std' =&gt; 'http://' ), array( 'name' =&gt; 'Document Name 2', 'desc' =&gt; 'Name of PDF or Document you want to share', 'id' =&gt; $prefix . 'docname2', 'type' =&gt; 'text', 'std' =&gt; '' ), array( 'name' =&gt; 'Document URL 2', 'desc' =&gt; 'Web Address to PDF or document you want to share', 'id' =&gt; $prefix . 'docurl2', 'type' =&gt; 'text', 'std' =&gt; 'http://' ) ) ); </code></pre> <p>I'd like to group them together like <code>DocName1 - DocUrl1</code> so they can be echo'd out on a single line of a grid as textboxes. I've got a grid ready on my custom post type add/edit form that I want to put textboxes in so they can be added or edited. Screenshot here <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZGqGI.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.stack.imgur.com/ZGqGI.png</a></p> <p>I can easily do a <code>foreach ($meta_box['fields'] as $field)</code> and echo out the text box for each one, but that is for EACH FIELD, not a group (like DocName1 and DocUrl1), but I want <code>DocName1 - DocUrl1</code> on the same grid line. Is there a way to do this? I can't wrap my head around an efficient way to do this.</p> <p>The way I'm doing it now is like so:</p> <pre><code>foreach ($meta_box['fields'] as $field) { // get current post meta data $meta = get_post_meta($post-&gt;ID, $field['id'], true); echo '&lt;tr&gt;', '&lt;th style="width:20%"&gt;&lt;label for="', $field['id'], '"&gt;', $field['name'], '&lt;/label&gt;&lt;/th&gt;', '&lt;td&gt;'; echo '&lt;input type="text" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '" value="', $meta ? $meta : $field['std'], '" size="30" style="width:97%" /&gt;', '&lt;br /&gt;', $field['desc']; echo '&lt;/td&gt;', '&lt;/tr&gt;'; } </code></pre> <p>But of course this echo's out each field on its own line. I want a grid with DocName1 and DocUrl1 on the first gridline, then DocName2 and DocUrl2 on the second, and so on.</p> <p>Sorry if this is confusing.</p>
