I’m using herbert to create a module for wordpress. I’m trying to make a custom meta box for a specific page so I did the following class
<?php
namespace TestingMetaBoxes;
use TestingHelper;
class ExtendMetaBoxes {
const WORDPRESS_CONTEXT = ['normal' => 'normal', 'advanced' => 'advanced', 'side' => 'side'];
const WORDPRESS_PRIORITY = ['high' => 'high', 'default' => 'default', 'low' => 'low'];
/**
* Metabox id.
*
* @var string
*/
private $id;
/**
* Metabox title.
*
* @var string
*/
private $title;
/**
* Metabox name.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $name;
/**
* Metabox nonce.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $nonce;
/**
* Metabox page.
*
* @var string
*/
private $page;
/**
* Metabox context.
*
* Allowed values from wordpress: "normal", "advanced" and "side"
* @var string
*/
private $context;
/**
* Metabox priority.
*
* Allowed values from wordpress: "high", "default" and "low"
* @var string
*/
private $priority;
/**
* Metabox callback_args.
*
* @var string
*/
private $callback_args;
/**
* Metabox view.
*
* @var herbert object
*/
private $view;
/**
* Constructs the metabox.
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->id = 'properties-integretation-system';
$this->title = Helper::get('pluginName');
$this->page = 'property';
$this->name = 'api_systems';
$this->nonce = 'api_systems_nonce';
$this->context = WORDPRESS_CONTEXT['side'];
$this->priority = WORDPRESS_PRIORITY['low'];
$this->view = herbert('twig');
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', [$this, 'registerMetabox'] );
}
/**
* Adding meta box to the given page
*/
public function registerMetabox()
{
add_meta_box( $this->id, $this->title, [$this, 'metaBoxTemplate'], $this->page, $this->context, $this->priority );
}
/**
* Prints out the metabox template.
*
* @param $post
*/
public function metaBoxTemplate()
{
echo $this->view->render('@Testing/metaboxes/api.twig');
}
}
The class is auto-loaded so I know for sure that the class exist on the backoffice. According to this link the way that I did my class is correct but the issue is that is not calling the metaBoxTemplate function. If I changed the way I’m calling it to $this->metaBoxTemplate()
, it loads the template but on a wrong position on the page. Does anyone knows why the [$this, 'metaBoxTemplate']
is not executed but the [$this, 'registerMetabox']
is executed fine and how I can solve my issue? Thanks
Ok I found the issue. The issue was coming from the way I was calling the constant array, so I fixed it like this way:
