MB Term Meta
MB Term Meta helps you to add custom fields to taxonomies.
Settings​
Creating custom meta boxes for taxonomies is similar to posts. The only difference is you need to specify taxonomies settings which the meta box will be added to:
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', function ( $meta_boxes ) {
$meta_boxes[] = [
'title' => 'Standard Fields',
'taxonomies' => 'category', // List of taxonomies. Array or comma-separated string.
'fields' => [
[
'name' => 'Featured?',
'id' => 'featured',
'type' => 'checkbox',
],
[
'name' => 'Featured Content',
'id' => 'featured_content',
'type' => 'wysiwyg',
],
[
'name' => 'Featured Image',
'id' => 'image_advanced',
'type' => 'image_advanced',
],
[
'name' => 'Color',
'id' => 'color',
'type' => 'color',
],
],
];
return $meta_boxes;
} );
Data​
WordPress provides an identical way to store values in the meta tables for post / term / user. This extension utilizes that API and stores field value in the term meta exactly like post meta.
Getting field value​
You're able to use helper function rwmb_meta() to get field value for terms.
$term_id = get_queried_object_id();
$value = rwmb_meta( $field_id, ['object_type' => 'term'], $term_id );
echo $value;
info
- In the 2nd parameter, you need to pass
'object_type' => 'term', and - The last parameter is the term ID. To get the ID of the the current category/term page, please use the function
get_queried_object_id().
Other parameters are the same as for post. Please see this documentation for details.
caution
It requires the extension version 1.1+ to use the helper function. If you're using an older version, please update now.
