Ah, OK cool, I will do in a few days as I’m away now
thanks

I think the site was down yesterday, I checked the image again and it works OK now, thanks

well, both, sorry maybe I didn’t explain things correctly.
Basically I wanted to add, at the backend, the functionality to allow me to add HTML tags to the front end by using select boxes etc. So, say, I want to have two divs to be added to his page: I’ll use a select box (which I have added to the backend using this plugin) to allow me to add one or more divs to the text editor at the backend, and when I click “update” these divs will be added onto the page (front end).

If you look at my screenshot here http://s1.postimg.org/qxcifziz3/wordpress_backend.png you’ll see the select boxes just below the text editor: when I’m happy with the number of divs I want to add to my page, there will be a mechanism – an “Add” button perhaps – that if pressed will add the number of specified divs to the text editor and consequently to the actual page.

In essence I want to use this plugin to customize the back end so that an hypothetical user, who knows no HTML, will be able to rely on my customization (select boxes and whatever else) to add code to his page, allowing wordpress to act as a proper CMS.
I hope it is clearer now, and sorry if it wasn’t before.

Hi Steve, I’ve just implemented your solution, and I do get the select box with the add/remove buttons as per screenshot http://s1.postimg.org/qxcifziz3/wordpress_backend.png but I don’t seem to be able to add any div to the editor. Here is the code:
my-fields.php

<?php
/*
Title: My Metabox
Description: My cool new metabox
Post Type: page

*/
 
// Let's create a text box field
piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'select'
	,'field' => 'my_divs'
	,'label' => __('Select a Div')
	,'add_more' => true
	,'choices' => array(
		'div_one' => 'Div One'		
	)
)

custom-div-div_one.php

<?php
	<div class="infoBox one"></div>

?>

test-templ.php

<?php /* Template Name: New Test page*/ ?>
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php 
	$my_divs = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'my_divs'); // Get the field data

	foreach ($my_divs as $my_div => $name) // loop through each add_more
	{ 
		get_template_part('custom-div', $name); // display the template
	}
?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Am I missing something, shouldn’t the plugin take care of that of do I have to write the code?
thanks

OK, so I’ve done some work implementing your code. One thing I’m not too sure about – and sorry for being a complete noob – but you know the 3 divs you said they should match the dropdown values:

custom-div-div_one.php
custom-div-div_two.php
custom-div-div_three.php

Those presumably are partial templates, aren’t they? Should they go together with my custom template in the page-template folder? More importantly, what code goes in them? Presumably <div class="infoBox"></div> but if so, I don’t need three separate partial templates because the divs inside will always be the same, I just want the users to have the possibility to choose how many they want to add if that makes sense
thanks

Hi steve, thanks for taking the time to write the code. I think it makes sense to an extent (the problem is also my limited understanding of PHP at this stage as I literally just started with it) in any case, I will apply the code you gave me and see how I get on with it, i’ll post back if I get seriously stuck!
thanks again
