      I would like to produce a metabox that has a first name and a last name field inline on the same row. Is that possible? I can’t find any way to do it in the documentation.

      Greetings!

      Try this:

      piklist('field', array(
  'type'    => 'group',
  'field'   => 'name',
  'label'   => 'Name',
  'fields'  => array(
    array(
      'type'    => 'text',
      'field'   => 'first',
      'label'   => 'First',
      'columns' => 5
    ),
    array(
      'type'    => 'text',
      'field'   => 'last',
      'label'   => 'Last',
      'columns' => 5
    )
  )
));

      You’ll notice that each field in the group has a “columns” value. This is on a grid of 12. So if you have two fields whose columns sum are >= 12, they’ll appear on the same row.

      Hope this helps! 🙂

      @jason– 5+5=10, not 12 😉

      should be

      'columns' => 6

      Oh, hahah! I automatically set the columns according to the width I’d use for first/last names inside of a group. Full width tends to look like too much for fields that merit a short answer.

      But, yes, we can definitely agree that 5 + 5 = 10. Let it be so. 🙂
