      I’ve created a taxonomy select field in my metabox. For the other metaboxes i use get_post_meta, but I cannot figure out what to use here. Tried get_terms but with no luck. Below is my piklist field.

      piklist('field', array(
  'type' => 'select'
  ,'scope' => 'taxonomy'
  ,'field' => 'manufacturers'
  ,'label' => 'Κατασκευαστής σκάφους'
  ,'choices' => array(
      '' => 'Επιλέξτε κατασκευαστή'
    )
    + piklist(get_terms('manufacturers', array(
      'hide_empty' => false
    ))
    ,array(
      'term_id'
      ,'name'
    )
  )
));

      @vagelis– Easily getting term meta is something that is lacking from WordPress. You have two choices:
      1) Use WordPress function get_metadata.
      2) There’s a helper function in Piklist you can use. get_term_meta works exactly like get_post_meta.

      I’ve managed to get it working with this:

      $terms = wp_get_post_terms($post->ID, 'manufacturers', array("fields" => "names"));
echo $terms[0];

      But it’s not the piklist way. I could not figure out what to put on the “key” value on get_term_meta to get the name of the ‘manufacturer’. Care to elaborate Steve? Thanx for the help.

      I misunderstood what you wanted. This is the perfect way to do it. Piklist way == WordPress way.
