HM Custom Meta Boxes for WordPress

Custom Meta Boxes is a framework for easily adding custom fields to the WordPress post edit page.

It includes several field types including WYSIWYG, media upload and dates (see wiki for a full list). It also supports repeatable and grouped fields.

This project is aimed at developers and is easily extended and customised. It takes a highly modular, Object Orientated approach, with each field as an extension of the CMB_Field abstract class.

The framework also features a basic layout engine for fields, allowing you to align fields to a simple 12 column grid.

Usage

• Include the custom-meta-boxes.php framework file.
  • In your theme: include the CMB directory to your theme directory, and add require_once( 'Custom-Meta-Boxes/custom-meta-boxes.php' ); to functions.php
  • As an MU Plugin: Refer to the WordPress Codex here for more information
• Filter cmb_meta_boxes to add your own meta boxes. The wiki has more details and example code

Help

• For more information, including example code for usage of each field and instructions on how to create your own fields, refer to the Wiki.
