Create a link box

    Hello, great plugin, by the way. I am using your plugin to display four content blocks on a page, one of which I want to be a link. How would I use the blocks in the page template to create two one liners, one which is the title of the link and one which is the link itself? so the admin input will be two boxes one title “link title” and one titled “link”, the user would paste their link into the “link” box and choose a custom title for the “link title” box. On the front end this would display as just the title.

    cheers for the plugin and for any help in advance.

    All the best

    Harry

    I would advice you to create your own meta box for something like this. That would be faster and more reliable.

    If you really want to use MCB, I would probably do something like this:

    <a href="<?php
    the_block( 'link', array(
      'label' => __( 'Link', 'text-domain' ),
      'type'  => 'one-liner',
    ) );
  ?>">
  <?php
    the_block( 'link-title', array(
      'label' => __( 'Link title', 'text-domain' ),
      'type'  => 'one-liner',
    ) );
  ?>
</a>

    Hi Harold

    Cheers, been trying to get my head around meta boxes for too long now, can’t seem to do it. What you gave me nearly works except that you can’t have a php block inside the quotation marks, it doesn’t get read properly.

    Thanks for your help

    All the best

    Hi Harry,

    I could give you an example here: https://pastebin.com/UrtmeMQp
    This has three fields and is assigned to the post type ‘testimonials’. Edit however you like.

    For MCB you could use the options 'apply_filters' => false in the array.

    Regards,
    Harold

    Brilliant, the apply_filters worked a charm, and also thank you for the pastebin link, I will have a look through that, see if I cant get my head around it.

    cheers for all your help.

    All the best

    Harry
