      Whoohoo, playing with the new beta…

      I want to get all the data for attachments that have a piklist meta box in them. (and I only want to get the attachmets that have been set to a specific select field)

      Here’s the piklist meta box I created:`
      <?php
      /*
      Title: Slideshow Image <span class=”piklist-title-right”>Choose Below</span>
      Post Type: attachment
      Order: 110
      Priority: default
      Context: normal
      Locked: true
      Collapse: false
      */

      piklist('field', array(
      'type' => 'select'
      ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
      ,'field' => 'slideshow-image'
      ,'label' => 'Show in Slideshow?'
      ,'description' => 'Please select the slideshow you would like to show this image in.'
      ,'value' => 'no_slideshow'
      ,'attributes' => array(
      'class' => 'text'
      )
      ,'choices' => array(
      'no_slideshow' => 'No'
      ,'slideshow_main' => 'Slide #1 – Main Slideshow'
      ,'slideshow_second' => 'Slide #2'
      ,'slideshow_third' => 'Slide #3'
      )
      ));

      ?>
      `

      All I need to know, is how to access the data. LOL

      Pre-thanks

      I think your over thinking it… 🙂

      $meta = get_post_meta($post_id, ‘slideshow-image’, true); // false it not unique
      $meta = get_metadata(‘post’, $post_id, ‘slideshow-image’, true); // false it not unique
      $all_meta = piklist(‘post_custom’, $post_id);

      Thanks,

      Kevin

      Ok, that helps and is getting me on the right track. Thanks for that.

      It’s helped another question come to the top.

      I added in conditions on that meta box, so that one of the fields is a select, and the next one is conditional based on several responses.

      Is this currently possible?

      By using something like:

      
   ,'conditions' => array(
      array(
      'field' => 'theme-select'
      ,'value' => 'sidebar_main'
      ),
      array(
      'field' => 'theme-select'
      ,'value' => 'sidebar_second'
      ),
      array(
      'field' => 'theme-select'
      ,'value' => 'sidebar_third'
      )
    )
   ));

      Or is it only useful for one condition?

      Thanks Kevin.

      Ok, Kevin, I hope you can help.

      I’m now trying to add a slideshow options meta box, to pages.

      Pretty simple. But right now, I’m not sure if its me, or its a bug.

      I’ve followed your old example pretty closely:
      (here’s my slideshow images meta box)

      
<?php
/*
Title: Select Slideshow Images <span class="piklist-title-right">Choose Below</span>
Post Type: page
Order: 110
Priority: default
Context: normal
Collapse: false
*/

  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'text'
    ,'field' => 'post_status'
    ,'scope' => 'slideshow_image_post'
    ,'value' => $post->post_status
  ));
 
  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'textarea'
    ,'field' => 'post_excerpt'
    ,'scope' => 'slideshow_image_post'
    ,'label' => 'Attachment Notes'
    ,'attributes' => array(
      'class' => 'large-text'
    )
  ));

  piklist('field', array(
    'type' => 'file'
    ,'scope' => 'post'
    ,'field' => 'slideshow_image_post'
    ,'label' => 'Select Images for Slideshow'
    ,'description' => 'Please select the images you would like'
    ,'add_more' => true
   ));

  $args = array( 
    'post_type' => 'attachment' 
    ,'numberposts' => -1
    ,'post_parent' => $post->ID 
    ,'post_status' => 'all'
  ); 

  
  $attachments = get_posts( $args );
  if ($attachments)
  {
    global $wp_post_statuses;
    remove_all_filters('get_the_excerpt'); // Since we're using the_excerpt for notes, we need to keep it clean.

    foreach ( $attachments as $post )
    { 
      setup_postdata($post); ?>

      <div id="pik_post_attachment_<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" class="piklist-field-container">
        <div class="piklist-label-container">
          <!-- Edited by Marcus - Changed attachments > post -->
          <?php echo wp_get_attachment_link( $post->ID, 'thumbnail', false, true ); ?>     
        </div>
        <div class="piklist-field">
          <?php printf( __('%1$sOrder Status:%2$s %3$s','piklist'),'<strong>','</strong>',$wp_post_statuses[$post->post_status]->label); ?>
          <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
<?php
    }

  }

?>

      Whenever I select a file, it doesn’t upload.

      Am I missing something? There is only one file here, under meta-boxes folder in parts.

      Marcus
