Description

CMB2 is a metabox, custom fields, and forms library for WordPress that will blow your mind.

Plugin available on wordpress.org

CMB2 is a complete rewrite of Custom Metaboxes and Fields for WordPress. To get started, please follow the examples in the included example-functions.php file and have a look at the basic usage instructions.

You can see a list of available field types here.

Features:

• Create metaboxes to be used on post edit screens.
• Create forms to be used on an options pages.
• Create forms to handle user meta and display them on user profile add/edit pages.
• Flexible API that allows you to use CMB forms almost anywhere, even on the front-end.
• Several field types are included.
• Custom API hook that allows you to create your own field types.
• There are numerous hooks and filters, allowing you to modify many aspects of the library (without editing it directly).
• Repeatable fields for most field types are supported, as well as repeatable field groups.
• CMB2 is safe to bundle with any project. It will only load the newest version in the system.

Translation

• Thanks to many in the CMB2 community and to our friends at wp-translations.org, we have a good start on several translations for CMB2. Please feel free to work with wp-translations.org to provide even more!

  The pw_map field stores the latitude/longitude values which you can then use to display a map in your theme.

  1. The pw_select field acts much like the default select field. However, it adds typeahead-style search allowing you to quickly make a selection from a large list
  2. The pw_multiselect field allows you to select multiple values with typeahead-style search. The values can be dragged and dropped to reorder

Most Recent Changes - 2.0.4, 2.0.5

2.0.5 - 2015-03-17

Bug Fixes

• Fix grouped fields display (first field was being repeated), broken in 2.0.3.

2.0.4 - 2015-03-16

Enhancements

• select, radio, radio_inline field types now all accept the 'show_option_none' field parameter. This parameter allows you to set the text to display for showing a 'no selection' option. Default will be false, which means a 'none' option will not be added. Set to true to use the default text, 'None', or specify another value, i.e. 'No selection'.

Bug Fixes

• Fix back-compatibility when adding group field sub-fields via old array method (vs using the CMB2:add_group_field() method). Thanks to norcross for reporting.
• Fix occasional jQuery issues with group-field indexes.
