Unfortunately I really should have tested things out, before trying to roll this out to the client.

I’m in a bit of a dilemma.

What I said above, is inaccurate.

Checkboxes DON’T work if the group has a named field and there is more than 1 choice. At least for me.

I’ve tried everything, but still anything NON-FIELD related, radio, checks, don’t work in groups properly if there is more than 1 choice.

As happens with the following code:

piklist('field', array(
	'type' => 'group'
	,'add_more' => true
	,'scope' => 'post_meta'
	,'label' => 'Week Bookings'
	,'field' => 'mae_sched_weeks'
	,'description' => 'Here you can book each week individually and set the number of days for that week.'
	,'columns' => 12
	,'attributes' => array (
	)
	,'fields' => array (
		array (
			'type' => 'select'
			,'field' => 'mae_sched_choose_week'
			,'label' => 'Choose Week'
			,'attributes' => array (
				'class' => array (
					'chooseweek'
				)
			)
			,'columns' => 6
			, 'choices' => piklist(
				$wpdb->get_results("SELECT 
				w.ID AS weekID, CONCAT('Week ',w.menu_order, ' (',REPLACE(wc1.meta_value,', ".$weekyear."',''),' - ',wc2.meta_value,')') AS weekTitle 
				FROM {$wpdb->prefix}posts w
				LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}posts wp ON wp.post_title='".$weekyear."' AND wp.post_type=w.post_type
				LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}postmeta wc1 ON w.ID = wc1.post_id AND wc1.meta_key='mae_wks_start_week'
				LEFT JOIN {$wpdb->prefix}postmeta wc2 ON w.ID = wc2.post_id AND wc2.meta_key='mae_wks_end_week'
				WHERE w.post_parent = wp.ID AND w.post_type='weeks'
				ORDER BY w.menu_order"), array("weekID","weekTitle")
			)
			,'on_post_status' => array(
			  'value' => 'lock'
			)
		)
		,array (
			'type' => 'checkbox'
			,'field' => 'mae_sched_act_days'
			,'' => 'post_meta'
			,'label' => 'Select Active Days'
			,'value' => array (
				'2','3','4','5','6'
			)
			,'attributes' => array (
				'class' => 'text'
			)
			,'position' => 'wrap'
			,'choices' => array(
				'1'=>'s'
				,'2'=>'m'
				,'3'=>'t'
				,'4'=>'w'
				,'5'=>'t'
				,'6'=>'f'
				,'7'=>'s'
			)
			,'columns' => 6
			,'on_post_status' => array(
			  'value' => 'lock'
			)
		)
	)
));

I’ve checked and there are no duplicate field names, and I think I’m using the fields properly. 🙂

Any chance that an update is coming, as these things are quite critical for me right now.

Thanks Guys.

I should have added. That the field itself has a field name. Just the outer group doesn’t. And every other control within that group does save properly.

Kevin, so if I understand you and the demo correctly…

I create a parent in my parents CPT.
For the children’s CPT, I select the parent through a post-relate field. (how do I turn this into a select box)
Now to show the different children in the parents screen, would be as simple as duplicating the code you used in the field-relate.php file below the meta box and changing the args too:

    $args = array(
      'post_type' => 'children'
      ,'post_belongs' => $post_id
      ,'posts_per_page' => -1
      ,'post_status' => 'publish'
    );

Jess, No? Am I close?

By the way, this change only solved things on my local machine. I didn’t change it on my remote, as it tends to break it. 🙂

For now, I’ve got it working on both, but I do hope you get a chance to look at it later.
It’s just a problem with pathing on a windows machine. I’m usng WAMP.
