, and'taxonomy_multicheck_hierarchical'
, for displaying taxonomy options in a hierarchical layout. Props to eriktelepovsky for the working code. (#640) - Removing last repeat item row (and repeat group row) is now somewhat allowed in that the «remove» button simply resets the last item to empty. Fixes #312.
- Enable the additional media library modal filters. Fixes #873.
- Sanitize the attributes added via the
cmb2_group_wrap_attributes
filter. - New field parameter,
'query_args'
, which can be used by the'taxonomy_*'
fields. Provides ability to override the arguments passed toget_terms()
. - The
cmb2_can_save
filter now passes the CMB2 object as the 2nd parameter. Props @Arno33 (#994). - Update the file field type to work properly within a custom field context by allowing the passing of override arguments to
CMB2_Types::file()
method. - Many WordPress Code Standards improvements/updates. Props @bradp
- Include absolute paths when including the core php files. Props @anhskohbo (#998).
- Change language throught to reflect CMB2’s move to its own organization.
- Break
CMB2_Field:options()
method apart to allow re-setting options from field params. Related: reaktivstudios/cmb2-flexible-content/pull/8. - New
CMB2:box_types()
method for getting the array of registered'object_types'
for a box. Ensures the return is an array. - Improved inline hooks documentation.
- Updated several CMB2 methods to return the CMB2 object (for method chaining). Methods include:
CMB2::show_form()
CMB2::render_form_open()
CMB2::render_form_close()
CMB2::render_group_row()
CMB2::render_hidden_fields()
CMB2::save_fields()
CMB2::process_fields()
CMB2::process_field()
CMB2::pre_process()
CMB2::after_save()
CMB2::add_fields()
Bug Fixes
- Update for
file
/file_list
fields to properly show a preview for SVG images. Fixes #874. - Fix and standardize inconsistent button classes. Update all buttons to use the
.button-secondary
class instead of the.button
class. This alleviates some front-end issues for themes which target the.button
class. This is a backwards-compatibility break. If your theme or plugin targets the.button
class within CMB2, you will need to update to use.button-secondary
. - Correct the before/after form hooks order. For more details see (#954).
- Fix regression with custom fields not properly repeating. Props @desrosj (#969). Fixes #901.
- Fix «Illegal string offset» notices when
CMB2_Option
methods are called when the option value is empty, as well as additional unit tests for theCMB2_Option
class. Props @anhskohbo (#993). - Fix bug where select fields or checkbox fields occasionally would retain previous group’s value when adding new groups. Fixes #853.
- Fix JS to prevent meta keys with
|
or/
from breaking file fields. Props @lipemat (#1003). - Fix jQuery Migrate’s
jQuery.fn.attr('value', val) no longer sets properties
warning. - Fix issue with CMB2 being too aggressive with stripping slashes from values. Fixes #981.
2.2.4 – 2017-02-27
Enhancements
- Modify
'taxonomy_*'
fields to return stored terms for non-post objects. - Modify
CMB2::get_sanitized_values()
to return the sanitized'taxonomy_*'
field values. Also added"cmb2_return_taxonomy_values_{$cmb_id}"
filter to modify if'taxonomy_*'
field values are returned. Fixes #538. -
Allow outputting CMB2 boxes/fields in additional locations in the post-editor.
The new locations are:
form_top
,before_permalink
,after_title
, andafter_editor
These would be defined by setting the
context
property for your box:`php
$cmb_demo = new_cmb2_box( array(
…
«context» => «before_permalink»,
) );
`If it is preferred that the fields are output without the metabox, then omit the
'title'
property from the metabox registration array, and instead add'remove_box_wrap' => true,
. - New field parameter,
'render_class'
, allowing you to override the default'CMB2_Type_Base'
class that is used when rendering the field. This provides interesting object-oriented ways to override default CMB2 behavior by subclassing the default class and overriding methods. The render class can also be overridden with the"cmb2_render_class_{$fieldtype}"
filter, which is passed the default render class name as well as theCMB2_Types
object, but this should be used sparingly, and within the context of your project’s boxes/fields or you could break other plugins’/themes» CMB2 fields. - Improvements to the
file
/file_list
fields javascript APIs, including using undersore templates. - Small improvements to the styling for the
file_list
field type. - New action hook,
cmb2_footer_enqueue
, which occurs after CMB2 enqueues its assets. - Example functions clean up. Props @PavelK27 (#866).
- New
CMB2_Utils
methods,get_available_image_sizes()
andget_named_size()
. Props @Cai333.
Bug Fixes
- Fix datepicker month/year dropdown text color. On windows, the option text was showing as white (invisible). Fixes #770.
- Repeatable WYSIWYG no longer breaks if
'quicktags'
param is set to false. Props @timburden (#797, #796). - Do not process title fields during group field save process.
- Fix issue where term-meta values were not being displayed for some users. Props @sbussetti (#763, #700).
- Fix issue where term meta would not be applied when using the new term form if multiple object types were specified. Props @ADC07 (#842, #841).
- Fix WordPress spinner styling when boxes/fields used on the frontend.
- Fix issue where clicking to remove a
file_list
item could occasionally remove the field row. (#828). - Fix issue where empty file field in group would still cause non-empty values to store to database. (#721).
- Make
file
/file_list
field preview images work with named sizes. Props @Cai333 (#848, #844). - Fix incorrect text-domain. (#798)
- Do not silence notices/errors in
CMB2_Utils::get_file_ext()
. - If
title
field type has no name value, then only output a span element (instead of a header element).
2.2.3.1 – 2016-11-08
Enhancements
- Better styling for disabled group «X» buttons, and add title attr. Fixes #773.
Bug Fixes
- Use quotes for
label[for=""]
selector. FixedSyntax error, unrecognized expression
. Props @anhskohbo (#789). - Fix
ReferenceError: tinyMCE is not defined
javascript errors (happening when trying to remove a repeatable field/group). Fixes #790, and #730. - Fix REST API
'show_in_rest'
examples inexample-functions.php
. Any REST API boxes/fields must use the'cmb2_init'
hook (as opposed to the'cmb2_admin_init'
hook).
2.2.3 – 2016-10-25
Enhancements
- CMB2 REST API! CMB2 now has WP REST API endpoints for displaying your boxes and fields data, as well as registers rest fields in the existing post, user, term, and comment endpoints (in the cmb2 namespace). Enabling the REST API for your boxes/fields is opt-in, meaning it will not be automatically enabled. For more info, check out the wiki.
- Small string improvement, move a period inside the translatable string. Props @pedro-mendonca (#672).
- Introduce the
'save_field'
boolean field parameter for disabling the saving of a field. Useful if you want to display the value of another field, or use a disabled/read-only field. Props @jamesgol (#674, #346, #500). - Update docblocks for
CMB2_Field::save_field_from_data()
andCMB2_Field::save_field()
. Props @jamesgol (#675). - More javascript events tied to the media modal actions (related to the
'file'
and «file_list'
fields).'cmb_media_modal_init'
,'cmb_media_modal_open'
, and'cmb_media_modal_select'
. - All CMB2 JS events now also get the CMB2 JS object passed in the list of arguments.
- CMB2 JS object is now instantiated without stomping existing object, to enable extending.
- New field parameter for taxonomy fields,
'remove_default'
which allows disabling the default taxonomy metabox. Props @c3mdigital (#593). - Change
'row_classes'
to just'classes'
, to mirror the metabox'classes'
property. Also now accepts a'classes_cb'
parameter for specifying a callback which returns a string or array. The callback will receive$field_args
as the first argument, and the CMB2_Field$field
object as the second argument. ('row_classes'
will continue to work, but is deprecated) - Make wysiwyg editors work in the repeatable groups context. A standard repeatable (non-group) wysiwyg field is not supported (but will possibly be included in a future update). Props @johnsonpaul1014 (#26, #99, #260, #264, #356, #431, #462, #657, #693).
- Add an id to the heading tag in the title field. This allows linking to a particular title using the id.
- Internationalization improvements. Props ramiy (#696).
- Ensure that saving does not happen during a switch-to-blog session, as data would be saved to the wrong object. See more.
- Add
'cmb2_group_wrap_attributes'
filter to modifying the group wrap div’s attributes. Filter gets passed an array of attributes and expects the return to be an array. Props jrfnl (#582). - Update the unit-tests README and inline docs. Props bobbingwide (#714, #715).
- Minor update to make naming-conventions consistent. Props ramiy (#718).
- Update files to be compatible with PHP7 CodeSniffer standards. Props ryanshoover (#719, #720).
- Make exception message translatable. Props ramiy (#724).
- Portuguese translation provided by @alvarogois and @pedro-mendonca – #709, #727.
- Stop using
$wp_version
global. Props ramiy (#731). - Closures (anonymous functions) are now supported for any box/field
'*_cb'
parameters. E.g.
php
...
'show_on_cb' => function( $cmb ) { return has_tag( 'cats', $cmb->object_id ); },
...
Bug Fixes
- If custom field types use a method and the Type object has not been instantiated, Try to guess the Type object and instantiate.
- Normalize WordPress root path (
ABSPATH
) and theme rooth path (get_theme_root()
). Props @rianbotha (#677, #676). - Fix issue with
'cmb2_remove_row'
Javascript callback for non-group row removal. Fixes #729). - Fix issue with missing assignment of variable (undefined variable). Props @anhskohbo (#779).
2.2.2.1 – 2016-06-27
Bug Fixes
- Fix issue that kept CMB2 stylesheet from being enqueued when using the options-page snippets.
- Fix issue which caused the CMB2 column display styles to be enqueued in the wrong pages. Now only enqueues on admin pages with columns.
2.2.2 – 2016-06-27
Enhancements
- You can now set admin post-listing columns with an extra field parameter,
'column' => true,
. If you want to dictate what position the column is, use'column' => array( 'position' => 2 ),
. If you want to dictate the column title (instead of using the field'name'
value), use'column' => array( 'name' => 'My Column' ),
. If you need to specify the column display callback, set the'display_cb'
parameter to a callback function. Columns work for post (all post-types), comment, user, and term object types. - Updated Datepicker styles using JJJ’s «jQuery UI Datepicker CSS for WordPress», so props Props @stuttter, @johnjamesjacoby. Also cleaned up the timepicker styles (specifically the buttons) to more closely align with the datepicker and WordPress styles.
- CMB2 is now a lot more intelligent about where it is located in your installation. This update should solve almost all of the reasons to use the
'cmb2_meta_box_url'
filter (thought it will continue to work as expected). (#27, #118, #432, related wiki item) - Implement CMB2_Ajax as a singleton. Props jrfnl (#602).
- Add
classes
andclasses_cb
CMB2 box params which allows you to add additional classes to the cmb-wrap. Theclasses
parameter can take a string or array, and theclasses_cb
takes a callback which returns a string or array. The callback will receive$cmb
as an argument. These classes are also passed through a new filter,'cmb2_wrap_classes'
, which receives the array of classes as the first argument, and the CMB2 object as the second. Reported/requested in #364. - Make the
'title'
field type accept extra arguments. Props @vladolaru, @pixelgrade (#656). - Updated
cmb2_get_oembed()
function to NOT return the «remove» link, as it’s intended for outputting the oembed only. This is a backwards-compatibility concern. If you were depending on the «remove» link, usecmb2_ajax()->get_oembed( $args )
instead. - New function,
cmb2_do_oembed()
«, which is hooked to'cmb2_do_oembed'
, so you can usedo_action( 'cmb2_do_oembed', $args )
in your themes withoutfunction_exists()
checks. - New method,
CMB2:set_prop( $property, $value )
, for setting a CMB2 metabox object property. - The
CMB2_Field
object instances will now have acmb_id
property and aget_cmb
method to enable access to the field’sCMB2
parent object’s instance, in places like field callbacks and filters (e.g.$cmb = $field->get_cmb();
). - Add a
data-fieldtype
attribute to the field rows for simpler identification in Javascript. - Moved each type in
CMB2_Types
to it’s own class so that each field type can handle it’s own field display, and added the infrastructure to maintainn back-compatibility. - New
CMB2_Utils
methods,notempty()
andfilter_empty()
, both of which considernull
,''
andfalse
as empty, but allow0
(for saving0
as a field value). - New
CMB2_Utils
public methods,get_url_from_dir()
,get_file_ext()
,get_file_name_from_path()
, andwp_at_least()
. - Add a
cmb_pre_init
Javascript event to allow overriding CMB2 defaults via JS.
Bug Fixes
- Fix issue with «default» callback not being applied in all instances. Introduced new
CMB2_Field::get_default()
method, and'default_cb'
field parameter. Using the'default'
field parameter with a callback will be deprecated in the next few releases. (#572). - Be sure to call
CMB2_Field::row_classes()
for group field rows. Also, update CSS to use the «cmb-type-group» classname instead of «cmb-repeat-group-wrap». - Introduce new
'text'
and'text_cb'
field parameters for overriding CMB2 text strings instead of using the'options'
array. (#630) - Fix bug where the value of «0» could not be saved in group fields.
- Fix bug where a serialized empty array value in the database for a repeatable field would output as «Array».
- Allow for optional/empty money field. Props @jrfnl (#577).
- The
CMB2::$updated
parameter (which contains field ids for all fields updated during a save) now also correctly adds group field ids to the array.
2.2.1
Bug Fixes
- Fixes back-compatibility issue which could allow multiple CMB2 instances to load (causing fatal errors). (#520)
2.2.0 – 2016-02-27
Enhancements
- Term Meta! As of WordPress 4.4, WordPress will have the ability to use term metadata. CMB2 will work with term meta out of the box. To do so, see the example cmb registration in the
yourprefix_register_taxonomy_metabox
function in example-functions.php. - New hooks which hook in after save field action:
'cmb2_save_field'
and"cmb2_save_field_{$field_id}"
. Props wpsmith (#475). - The «cmb2_sanitize_{$field_type}» hook now runs for every field type (not just custom types) so you can override the sanitization for all field types via a filter.
CMB2::show_form()
is now composed of 3 smaller methods,CMB2::render_form_open()
,CMB2::render_field()
,CMB2::render_form_close()
(#506).- RTL Style generated. Props @devinsays (#510).
- Properly scope date/time-pickers styling by adding a class to only cmb2 picker instances. (#527)
- Allow per-field overrides for the date/time/color picker options (wiki documentation: Modify Field Date, Time, or Color Picker options)
- Fix some inline documentation issues. Props @jrfnl (#579).
- Include
.gitattributes
file for excluding development resources when using Composer. Props @benoitchantre (#575, #53).
Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue with
'taxonomy_select'
field type where a term which evaluated falsey would not be displayed properly. Props adamcapriola (#477). - Fix issue with colorpickers not changing when sorting groups.
