Also, there is another error on – https://piklist.com/user-guide/docs/taxonomies/

In the code block, hide_meta_box should be inside the configuration array.

Hmmm.. It seems like I am not being allowed to upload the file (I tried both .php and .txt). Here is the code I’m using…

<?php
/*
Title: Tests
Description: Add or remove tests
Post Type: test
Order: 1
Lock: true
Collapse: true
*/

/* 
 * Get Test Settings
 */
$test_options = get_option('setting_test');

/* 
 * Get Default Test Settings
 */
$test_default_test_content = $test_options['default_test_item_content'];

/*
 * Test Item
 */
piklist('field', array(
   'type' => 'group'
  ,'field' => 'test_item'
  ,'add_more' => true
  ,'fields' => array(

/*

 */
array(
   'type' => 'text'
  ,'field' => 'test_name'
  ,'label' => __('Test Title','piklist')
  ,'description' => __('Enter a title for this test.','piklist')
  ,'help' => __('Enter a title for this test.','piklist')
  ,'attributes' => array(

  )
  ,'on_post_status' => array(

  )
  ,'sanitize' => array(
  array(

    ,'context' => 'save'
  )
)
)

/*

,array(
  'type' => 'editor'
  ,'field' => 'test_content'
  ,'label' => __('Test Content','piklist')
  ,'description' => __('Enter content for this test.','piklist')
  ,'help' => __('Enter content for this test','piklist')
  ,'value' => $test_default_test_content
  ,'options' => array (
    'wpautop' => false
    ,'media_buttons' => true
    ,'tinymce' => true
    ,'quicktags' => true
  )
)

/*
 * Test Background Color
 */
,array(
'type' => 'colorpicker'
,'field' => 'test_background_color'
,'label' => __('Test Background Color','piklist')
,'description' => __('Select a background color for this test','piklist')
,'help' => __('Select a background color for this test','piklist')
,'attributes' => array(
  'class' => 'text'
)
)

)
));

UPDATE – I noticed that saving the post will cause the field to appear after the post has been saved.

I am trying this in a metabox of a custom post type.

Awesome. I’ll take a closer look at the demos.

Just out of curiosity, could you provide a scenario for using post-to-post relationships? – I’m not 100% sure I understood their purpose. Would this be similar to having two tables in a DB rated to one another?

I did manage to get most of @jason ‘s code working for my requirements, but I am curious if I could use relate two posts and create select field as opposed to a checkbox section.

Once again, thanks so much for your help!

Hi,

@jason – Thank you so much for your help – I ended up using your solution to work around this.

Many thanks,
Ian

Hi Jason,

Apologies for the late reply – I tried out your updated code and it works like a charm – this will be useful for counting the total number of ‘add-more’ items easily.

However, I am still stuck with regards to knowing which item I am on inside of the Piklist loop. Once again, the idea is to be able to determine what index a particular ‘add-more’ item has so I can print it inside the add-more template which is getting repeated via the Piklist loop.

Ian

Hi,

I do apologize for several posts, however, I’m facing some challenges and I can’t seem to figure it out myself. I re-read my post and perhaps I might have not been as clear as to what I wish to achieve. My custom post type is outputting a series of add-more items, each one is being looped using the Piklist loop in a template file. So, far that works fine. However, I need to be able to also print out (in the template) what add-more item this is on.

So, if I have the following array being outputted

Array
(
    [piklist_test_title] => Array
        (
            [0] => Test
            [1] => Test 2
        )

    [slide_content] => Array
        (
            [0] => <p>some text.</p>
            [1] => <p>some text.</p>
        )

    [piklist_test_content] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 1687
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [0] => 
                )

        )

    [piklist_test_color] => Array
        (
            [0] => #6b6b6b
            [1] => 
        )

    [piklist_test_option] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [0] => option-1
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [0] => option-1
                )

        )

)

I would need to be able to echo ‘#1’ if the array is at position [0] in the add-more template (the template that is being looped). An idea I had was to possibly use the following from @jason – https://gist.github.com/JasonTheAdams/d40351ecf5bca8a7e7f4#file-parse_piklist_array

However, I haven’t been able to get that working properly either.

Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Please let me know if any further information is required.

Regards,
Ian
