Hi,

I’ve been playing around with this and I think I seem to grasp it (noob of a coder), but I wanted to know. How would I pull the data from my meta boxes in to the admin columns when viewing all CPT’s?

This is what I did to show a thumbnail of the image selected:
I added this line to my metabox php file.

” style=”width:100px;height:100px” />

That will show thumbnails for all boxes to make it easy to reorder, and it works fine.

The only issue is that you have to update the post before you can see the image, I don’t know how to show the image as soon as its selected, I think its Ajax that can have this done. Is its possible to get help on this.

@dimas or @anyone Does anyone know how to get a thumbnail of the image you selected to show up in your metabox? I have integrated the wordpress media uploader to select images for a gallery and I want a thumbnail of each image to display so the client can easily reorder the images using the sorting method for metaboxes that was shown on this site. I just can’t seem to figure out how get the thumbnail to display.
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Dimas – I found the answer – apologies for wasting your time. When you sit coding and researching at midnight after 3 hours of sleep the night before, things sometimes seem impossible to find.

After doing a site:farinspace.com wp_query search, I found
http://www.farinspace.com/wpalchemy-metabox-data-storage-modes/

It has solved my problems, thank you very much 🙂

@Dimas, first off, thanks for a great plugin – it has revolutionised my custom posts.

A question for which I can’t seem to find the answer: how do I access WPAlchemy’s meta data to use in a WP_Query?

I have an events post type and want to select or exclude and order posts based on their start date, which is captured via an input:text form type in the post type’s metabox.

Any suggestions or perhaps a pointer to where to find a doc about this?

Thanks for your hard work.

@Jonathan, I’ve been delayed a bit, but new site + forums launching this weekend … I have thought about moving docs to github.

To start i will be closing comments for this page, I will try to review all comments and get the useful ones into a forum topic/thread.

@Dimas : please switch to google group (or something alike) and close the comments here, each time I’m looking for some infos I’m loosing so much time getting my hands back on it. Setting up a google group is easy and I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to see that happen.

Also, why don’t you use the wiki on github for documentation so everyone can contribute with code example and share their use cases ?

If you want any help let me know, I’d be glad to help but You are the one in charge here 😉

Bests.

@dimas ok, whew I over reacted for a second. After a breath I began investigating at a more macro scale and realized the error was directly related to my importing of the old servers post data through standard import option.

I deleted the imported data and started fresh, everything worked fine from here on out.

I will recreate the scenario tomorrow and post specifics. Yes I am using the most recent version. The error was being thrown whenever data from the dynamically rendered fields was being called. Though come to think of it all my data that is not from a dynamically rendered set of fields is not using wpalchemy…
