Meta box to display content on front page
-
Hi!
I’m making a video site which feautures videoes and also a live broadcast. The broadcast will not be available at all times so I am trying to add a text on the front page when the broadcast is available by using a checkbox. This is the code i have so far:
function true_add_a_metabox() { add_meta_box( 'live_metabox', // metabox ID, it also will be it id HTML attribute 'Livesending', // title 'true_display_metabox', // this is a callback functions, which will be print HTML of our metabox 'post', // post type 'normal', // position of the screen where metabox shoul be displayed (normal, side, advanced) 'default' // priority over another metaboxes on this page (default, low, high, core) ); } add_action( 'admin_menu', 'true_add_a_metabox' ); function true_display_metabox($post) { /* * needs for security checks */ wp_nonce_field( basename( __FILE__ ), 'true_metabox_nonce' ); /* * lets add a simple textarea field */ /* * add a checkbox */ $html .= '<p><label><input type="checkbox" name="live"'; $html .= ' /> Trykk her dersom dette er en livesending</label></p>'; /* * print all of this */ echo $html; } function true_save_post_meta( $post_id, $post ) { /* * Security checks */ if ( !isset( $_POST['live_metabox_nonce'] ) || !wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['live_metabox_nonce'], basename( __FILE__ ) ) ) return $post_id; /* * Check current user permissions */ $post_type = get_post_type_object( $post->post_type ); if ( !current_user_can( $post_type->cap->edit_post, $post_id ) ) return $post_id; /* * Check if the autosave */ if ( defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE ) return $post_id; } return $post_id; }
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to get this to work. My meta box displays fine when writing a post, but I am not able to display any content on the front page, and the checkbox does not save correctly aswell. Thank you for your time and any help will be appreciated.
