When I update a page the metabox data is not saved.

I made a few basic changes that I assume should not affect the ability to save.

Instead of running this as part of a theme I added it to a plugin, so the changes I made are: I include the main.php file from may plugin, I changed the path from the theme dir to the plugin dir.

I metabox shows up, the css is applied, it works like normal but I can not save the metabox data.

I am on wordpress 3.4.2

Dude,

This is awsome. It works like a charm.
So I’m using it!

However I would like to extend the fields listed in the meta box. I do this in the mets.php file. Every field I create works however I come across one thing that I can’t seem to get working.

I want to add an upload-file field so the user (CMS-end not front-end) can upload a image.
I created the field and I can select the file I would like to upload. Now I need a button that sais “Upload”. The problem is not how to create the button but the problem is how to upload the file.

Maybe this has nothing to do with your script and it should be done with some PHP, but I hoped you have a solution for me!

Thnx in advance.
Oh and did I mention that your tutorial is Awsome!

wpalchemy essentially abstracts the code above, making it easier to handle and use.

The install videos are pretty basic, additionally there are some examples that should get you up and running pretty quickly, and it has a nice handy repeating fields feature.
