    <p>I just created a kind of long metabox using a tutorial at <a href="http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/reusable-custom-meta-boxes-part-1-intro-and-basic-fields/" rel="nofollow">wptuts</a> but I am lost in two things:</p> <ol> <li><p>The output of the metabox displays all data grouped (ex. in grouped checkboxes they are all in a whole even if I have different groups) and I'd like to grab the titles of each group and display them in different tables, divs or blocks.</p></li> <li><p>Don't know how to display the saved data in the post, and also display it in separate blocks.</p></li> </ol> <p>My code is this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php $prefix = 'dbt_'; $meta_box = array( 'id' =&gt; 'features', 'title' =&gt; 'Property Features', 'page' =&gt; 'post', 'context' =&gt; 'normal', 'priority' =&gt; 'high', 'fields' =&gt; array( array( 'name' =&gt; 'Price (in USD)', 'desc' =&gt; '', 'id' =&gt; $prefix .

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
