Hi,

On each post, you have "post additional params" metabox (above the featued image), here you can disable all elements except date, title and featured image).

You can also use global option from Template Options -> Basic tab -> "Post sidebar informations" which disable all elements on all posts.

Hello,

I have the reverse problem, Trying to get the metabox and param to show in the first place!!

It works fine on regular posts and pages but .......

Regarding this meta box, I just cant get it to display on the single posts - on custom post types. I thought I had found all the relevant code lines but still no display.

Could you do a check list I can quickly run through to make sure I have it all.

Hello,

please check gavern/helpers/helpers.layout.features.php file and add_gavern_metaboxes function.
here you should duplicate this fragment:

Code: Select all

add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Post additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'post', 'side', 'default' );


with your custom post name.

Hi,

Had already done, - anything else?

You've added this fragment and can't see this metabox? Because I've tested it with product custom post type and metabox is visible - of course not work properly, because of the product structure, but metabox and options are displayed properly.

// post title
add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Post additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'post', 'side', 'default' );
add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Post additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'review', 'side', 'default' );
add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Post additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'latest_news', 'side', 'default' );
add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Page additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'page', 'side', 'default' );


}


It does not display on 'review' or 'latest_news' although it does work on posts and pages.

Note the theme in question is Game and not News 2, sorry - found the original post through search.

As mentioned I can see the boxes in the admin side. What concerns me is displaying the stored meta data on the custom posts. ie not visible.

What else could be causing the problem?

Could it be something with the fact im using multisite, or could it be the how the post types were registered ?

You say you tested - how? Multisite?

No I didn't test it on multisite installation, but I think that's not a source of the problem.
Are you sure that the cusotm post name 'latest_news' is correct? and please notice that if that custom post type uses another structure these options even if they will be visible - the won't work properly.

Hi Again,

Yes custom post type is latest_news

I've added this function:

function cptui_register_my_cpt_review() {
    $args = array(
       'label' => 'Reviews',
      'description' => '',
      'public' => true,
      'show_ui' => true,
      'show_in_menu' => true,
      'capability_type' => 'post',
      'map_meta_cap' => true,
      'hierarchical' => true,
      'rewrite' => array('slug' => 'review', 'with_front' => true),
      'query_var' => true,
      'supports' => array('title','editor','excerpt','trackbacks','custom-fields','comments','revisions','thumbnail','author','post-formats'),
      'labels' => array (
      'name' => 'Reviews',
      'singular_name' => 'Review',
      'menu_name' => 'Reviews',
      'add_new' => 'Add Review',
      'add_new_item' => 'Add New Review',
      'edit' => 'Edit',
      'edit_item' => 'Edit Review',
      'new_item' => 'New Review',
      'view' => 'View Review',
      'view_item' => 'View Review',
      'search_items' => 'Search Reviews',
      'not_found' => 'No Reviews Found',
      'not_found_in_trash' => 'No Reviews Found in Trash',
      'parent' => 'Parent Review'
    ) );
    register_post_type( 'review', $args );
}

add_action('init', 'cptui_register_my_cpt_review');


and this line into helpers.features.php file:

Code: Select all

add_meta_box( 'gavern-post-params', __('Post additional params', GKTPLNAME), 'gavern_post_params_callback', 'post', 'side', 'default' );


and metabox is visible when I'm adding new reviews.

The meta box is added to the admin adding reviews section but the settings do not save nor does the display box appear on the front end of the review. The display problem is probably a symptom of the saving issue.
