Settings​

This field doesn't have any specific settings. It only uses common settings.

This is a sample field settings array when creating this field with code:

[
    'id'   => 'background',
    'name' => 'Section background',
    'type' => 'background',
],

Data​

This field stores background properties in a serialized array in the post meta.

Template usage​

Getting the background properties:

$background = rwmb_meta( 'my_field_id' );
echo $background['color'];
echo $background['image'];

This helper function returns an array of background properties:

[
    'color'      => '#111222',
    'image'      => 'https://domain.com/wp-uploads/2017/12/bg.png',
    'position'   => 'top left',
    'attachment' => 'fixed',
    'size'       => 'cover',
    'repeat'     => 'no-repeat',
];

Outputting the CSS for the background:

<div style="<?php rwmb_the_value( 'my_field_id' ) ?>">
    <h2>My section title</h2>
    <p>My section content</p>
</div>
