Get a Field Group’s locations programmatically

    Hello,

    I’m working on an integration with meta box that will let users pick Meta Box field groups and fields from a selector. After selecting a field, it’s contents would displayed on the page.

    I’m stuck on displaying fields that are attached to a settings page though. To display a field from a settings page you need the “option name” for the field group it’s in.

    I don’t know what meta boxes might be on any given site. So I’ve been getting the field groups with the rwmb_get_registry( 'meta_box' )->all() function. This gets me all the field groups and their settings. But there doesn’t appear to be a way to get what locations or, in my case, settings pages that the field group is on.

    without getting the settings page that a field is on, I can’t get the option name and I can’t display it.

    Do you have any suggestions for how I could get these option names programmatically? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you,

    Mark

    Hi @woodardmc

    Sorry for the late reply.

    In the meta box object that you get through the rwmb_get_registry( 'meta_box' )->all(), the object type will define what type of the object this meta box is for. If for settings page, then $meta_box->get_object_type() === 'setting'.

    You can get the setting pages ID via $meta_box->settings_pages. All settings pages are added via the filter mb_settings_pages, so you can loop through it and find the settings page with the corresponding ID, and from that get the option name.

    Hope that helps,
    Anh

    Thanks for the pointer!
    I’ll give that a try and let you know if that works out for my case.
