Show/hide fields on category change no refresh

Perhaps something like https://github.com/jcchavezs/cmb2-conditionals ? or are you specifying specifically the core category metabox?

Specifically the core category metabox. The one that is listed on the column to the right of the content editor.

Nothing I’m aware of that ties in with those metaboxes. That said, I have to imagine something could be done up with javascript. Just nothing readymade

I have a parent and child category structure. Does the plugin allow me to mark the parent and the child, as if I am using the core category metabox? If yes then maybe I can achieve what I want using the plugin and the conditionals extension, right?

Closest i can think of is setting up a new metabox that also works with the core taxonomies, like categories and tags, and just use that instead of the default one. Perhaps hide the default via the screen options settings, so that you just use your own.

May be worth checking out https://github.com/cmb2/cmb2/wiki as a whole too, as it offers a lot of ideas/snippets/examples of what others have done in the past.

I did some initial testing and I was able to replace the core category selection metabox with the taxonomy_multicheck_hierarchical type. Both look the same, but the plugin one sits in the content area, which is good for my goal.

After that, I was able to show/hide fields on the fly based on category selection using the https://github.com/jcchavezs/cmb2-conditionals.

I think that’s the way to go!

This is an amazing and poweful plugin!
