      Hello,

      I’m building a daily report divided into 3 parts: morning, afternoon and evening. Each of parts has the same set of fields including related custom posts (field names have respective suffix so they all are different).

      Is it possible to include the same set of related posts for each part?

      Thanks.

      @vgrch– I’m not 100% clear on your question, however, this may help.

      You don’t have to include the field code in each part file. You can have it sit in your main plugin file wrapped in a function, and then call that function in the part file.

      For example:

      In your main plugin file, or theme’s functions.php, add this:

      function my_text_field()
{
    $field = array(
      'type' => 'text'
      ,'field' => 'my_text_field'
      ,'label' => __('My Text Field')
    );

    return $field;
 }

      And then in your parts files just call this:
      my_text_field();

      Does that help?

      I see the idea but it didn’t work.

      I need to attach post-to-post field, so in functions.php I added:

      function djs_field()
{
    $field = array(
        'type' => 'post-relate'
        ,'scope' => 'dj'
        ,'template' => 'field'
    );
    return $field;
}

      And in piklist/parts/meta-boxes/fields.php added:

      djs_field();

      But it didn’t change a thing, anything I’m doing?

      Thanks.

      I guess I didn’t understand your question. Can you provide more details?

      No problem. So we a talking about daily reports for a restaurant.

      I have custom post type called Daily Reports. Each one has meta-boxes for morning, afternoon and evening reports, each of them with the same set of fields, like weather (choose from dropdown), manager (choose from users), revenue etc.

      I also have a custom post type called DJ. Each meta-box of Daily Reports has to have it’s own dropdown with the list of DJs to choose, so we have 3 DJs attached to 1 report.

      My problem is to show DJ dropdowm 3 times in 1 report.

      I hope I explained more than confused. )
      Thanks.

      @vgrch– If you have it showing once, you can easily copy the code to each meta box… however, you will have to change the field name on each. You can’t have the same field name more than once per form.
