rubengc / cmb2-field-ajax-search Goto Github PK

I'm trying to do some as this:

     $cmb->add_field ( array (
      'name'       => __( 'Field title', 'ges' ),
      'desc'       => __( 'Field desc', 'ges' ),
      'id'         => $prefix.'_key',
      'type'       => 'term_ajax_search',
      'multiple'   => false,
      'query_args' =>array (
         'taxonomy'=>'custom_tax',
         'childless'=>true,
         'hide_empty'		=> false
      ),
      'repeatable' => true,
     ));

But I see this error message:
Warning: array_values() expects parameter 1 to be array

I think that when repeteable=true the contents of the field in meta_value in database is serialized. It is said, all the repeteable values are in a unique record. I have an existing declaration that I want to change by this functionallity but I will lose all values if I try to do so.

It is not possible to save the same storage criteria?

I am gettting this error on activating the plugin.

The plugin generated 609 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Hello!

Is it possible to use this on the front-end as a search input for users?

Thanks ;)

Hi is it possible that you create a composer version.
so i can add it as a dependencies in mine own project composer.json

The first two were on activation.
The second two were when I searched for a value in the field.
When I tried to set the found value, the box actually displayed only its ID and not its name, and it didn't get set.

hi,
really great plugin, do you think it's possible to make it functional in a group field?
thx!

Hi,

first of all thanks for the plugin.

I tried to use it within a "group" field. After selecting a value over the ajax search dropdown, Im getting this JS error message:

The value not getting saved. Maybe its because of the generated input name (input[name=prefixdemo[0][prefixasfd]])?

My code is:

add_action( 'cmb2_admin_init', 'yourprefix_register_repeatable_group_field_metabox' );
/**
 * Hook in and add a metabox to demonstrate repeatable grouped fields
 */
function yourprefix_register_repeatable_group_field_metabox() {
  $prefix = 'prefix';

  /**
   * Repeatable Field Groups
   */
  $cmb_group = new_cmb2_box( array(
    'id'           => $prefix . 'metabox',
    'title'        => esc_html__( 'Recommendation Products (4)', 'cmb2' ),
    'object_types' => array( 'landingpage' ),
  ) );

  // $group_field_id is the field id string, so in this case: $prefix . 'demo'
  $group_field_id = $cmb_group->add_field( array(
    'id'          => $prefix . 'demo',
    'type'        => 'group',
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Generates reusable form entries', 'cmb2' ),
    'options'     => array(
      'group_title'   => esc_html__( 'Product {#}', 'cmb2' ), // {#} gets replaced by row number
      'add_button'    => esc_html__( 'Add Another Product', 'cmb2' ),
      'remove_button' => esc_html__( 'Remove Product', 'cmb2' ),
      'sortable'      => true,
      // 'closed'     => true, // true to have the groups closed by default
    ),
  ) );

  /**
   * Group fields works the same, except ids only need
   * to be unique to the group. Prefix is not needed.
   *
   * The parent field's id needs to be passed as the first argument.
   */
  $cmb_group->add_group_field( $group_field_id, array(
    'name'          => __( 'Product', 'cmb2' ),
    'desc'          => __( 'Field description (optional)', 'cmb2' ),
    'id'            => $prefix . 'asfd',
    'type'          => 'post_ajax_search',
    'query_args'  => array(
      'post_type'     => array( 'product' ),
      'post_status'   => array( 'publish' ),
      'posts_per_page'  => -1
    )
  ) );

  $cmb_group->add_group_field( $group_field_id, array(
    'name'        => esc_html__( 'Description', 'cmb2' ),
    'description' => esc_html__( 'Write a short description for this entry', 'cmb2' ),
    'id'          => 'description',
    'type'        => 'textarea_small',
  ) );

  $cmb_group->add_group_field( $group_field_id, array(
    'name' => esc_html__( 'Entry Image', 'cmb2' ),
    'id'   => 'image',
    'type' => 'file',
  ) );

}

First off, many thanks for this tool. It's been huge in my development of a current project.

Question for you about using the fields ajax_search_terms vs creating a custom field type to use an ajaxed powered option_cb to pull in a large options list with 1,100 - 3,000 option's for a select field.

I.e. not using terms, posts, or users...

If I have a 1,100 item list, do you think it's smartest to first insert as terms under a custom taxonomy and then use the ajax_term_search for the field?

Or.....

Or, is it smartest (performance wise) to instead create a custom field type with ajax to pull in the list by itself only when the page with the form is rendered?

If I do that, id have their selected data save to the field meta, while also using a hook to automatically save/insert their selection into the custom taxonomy as a new term (if Not already exists). Thus, I wouldnt always have the 1,100 terms - 3,000 in the db and would populate it only as users select options.

.... but is that pointless because of wp term cache???

Whenever creating a group with repeatable fields, I cannot get the the ajax fields to work properly.
I am able to select an option, but when I click on the text, I get an ugly error and the value does not get saved to the database. Has anyone else come across this?

When I activate the plugin, it launches this error:
The plugin generated 629 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Hello! I have an issues and not sure if it's me:

I have a custom post type name Artworks, and a custom taxonomy named Artists.
I have successfully plugged the ajax search term field and everything is working great at this point.

However, I see that when choosing an artist via the ajax field, it is not registering to the Artists taxonomy - i.e, when I go to the taxonomy term, I see that the artwork is not attached to the artists.

``

$artwork_details->add_field( array(
	'name'          => __( 'Artist', '' ),
	'desc'    		=> 'Start typing a name (You must add the Artist in the Artist section FIRST.)',
	'id'            => 'auction_taxonomy_select',
	'type'          => 'term_ajax_search',
	'multiple'      => false,
	'limit'      	=> -1,
	'query_args'	=> array(
		'taxonomy'		=> 'artists_tax',
		'hide_empty'		=> false
	)


) );

``

On the Artwork page, I also see a sidebar taxonomy menu that allows to have multiple choices, is there a way to disable this?

Thanks a lot for this!

When 'multiple-item' => true, the search works as advertised. However, when 'multiple-item' => false (which is the default) the search fails. Specifically, a result set is returned, but selecting an option just reveals its post ID and nothing gets saved (see gif).

I can confirm that applying the patches in #17 - specifically commit 9761686 - fixes this, so hopefully that can get merged in soon.

I was trying this fields but was not working on wordpress 4.8.
I saw that error on console:

devbridgeAutocomplete is not a function

So I updated the library in the package from 1.2.27 to 1.4.1 and now everything is working :-)

Been using on the frontend and am hoping to use this field type to allow user to set term for a post instead of saving as new post_meta.

Taxonomy -> non-hierachial
Filters --> cmb2_override_meta_value

I could not be using the correct override filters. Do you have an example for overriding the meta save when using this field_type?

Any plans for adding option to set the term(s) on the post instead of saving as post_meta?

Hi there,
I just want to discuss a strange problem I met working with this amazin code. I use it frequently but I've noticed a strange behaviour in a new project I am working on.

Basically the first time I set the featured posts all is working great and the limit is respected but when I refresh the page and I hit save again I get my selection added again as you can see from the image below:

I've also recorded a short video to show you how the field is behaving. The load spinner is too big but the main issue is that the first time I load the search field I am able to respect my limit but when it gets reloaded I will be able to select new items and if I hit save, even if I do not select anything, the selection increases as in the image above.

The following is the code I am testing and I have this problem in a main option page and also in a WooCommerce Products sub-menu page (this is the reason for the commented lines).

<?php
	$prefix = '_hbeer_';
	
	$hbeer_featured = new_cmb2_box(
		array(
			'id' => $prefix . 'beer_settings',
			'title' => __( 'Scegli birre', 'hbeer-text' ),
			'object_types' => array( 'options-page' ),
			// 'parent_slug' => 'edit.php?post_type=product',
			// 'option_key'   => $prefix . 'fbeers',
		)
	);

	$hbeer_featured->add_field(
		array(
			'name' => __( 'Scegli birre', 'hbeer-text' ),
			'id' => $prefix . 'featured_beers',
			'type' => 'post_ajax_search',
			'multiple' => true,
			'limit' => 6,
			'sortable' => true,
			'query_args' => array(
				'post_type' => [ 'product' ],
				'posts_per_page' => -1,
			),
		)
	);

	cmb2_metabox_form( $prefix . 'beer_settings', 'hbeer-settings' );

Are you able to give me a heads ups on why this is happening? I've recently cloned your repo and changed all the files involved with its use but the problem is still happening.

Thank you in advance for the future help.
