add tabs on CMB Metaboxes

0 Views

I am currently using the CMB metaboxes on Github for my theme – https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2 – My question is can this plugin support vertical tabs other than the singular standard wordpress sections. I want to add multiple fields or content groups without frustrating or confusing the users. If it doesn’t I humbly ask if you could assist me just with a brief explanation (possibly a coding structure) on how I could add tabs on my own as a hook to this plugin.

Thank you for you help in advance.

  1. Quite recently, our team has created an extension that solves the problem:
    GitHub

    Example of use:

    add_filter( 'cmb2_init', 'example_tabs_metaboxes' );

function example_tabs_metaboxes() {
$box_options = array(
    'id'           => 'example_tabs_metaboxes',
    'title'        => __( 'Example tabs', 'cmb2' ),
    'object_types' => array( 'page' ),
    'show_names'   => true,
);

// Setup meta box
$cmb = new_cmb2_box( $box_options );

// setting tabs
$tabs_setting           = array(
    'args' => $box_options,
    'tabs' => array()
);
$tabs_setting['tabs'][] = array(
    'id'     => 'header',
    'title'  => __( 'Header', 'cmb2' ),
    'fields' => array(
        array(
            'name' => __( 'Title', 'cmb2' ),
            'id'   => 'header_title',
