Hello CMB2 gang.

It's been a while since I've included CMB2 on a project and, as I'm getting a new theme (not for distribution) set up, I'm wondering what the current best practice is?

I'm thinking it's one of the following:

  • Dump the github repo in my plugins folder
  • Use the official plugin from the WordPress plugins directory – issues re slower updates & this discussion?
  • Use the github repo as a dependency in the theme folder - assuming not?
  • Composer ?

I'm also curious if the best method is different depending on my purpose. Say, if I were building a plugin for redistribution, would I include CMB2 as a dependency in the project or just note that users need to install the official CMB2 plugin and leave it out?

@jerturowetz if it's not for distribution, using the wp.org plugin is probably easiest/best.
if for distribution on .org, you can use: http://tgmpluginactivation.com/
if planning on selling, you can bundle it in your theme
b/c of how the CMB2 loader works, there isn't really a wrong way. They will all work. You can even do it all the ways, and it will still work, as it only loads one version of itself
the .org plugin is probably the best way to bundle it as it won't include a lot of the dev resources, like the github repo will contain
But composer is a perfectly acceptable way to do it as well.
"issues re slower updates & this discussion" well, the updates on github are not considered "released" so are subject to change. The .org release (or master branch) will contain the latest stable release version. And re: the discussion, that has settled down, and we are good to stay in the repo.

Thanks for the detailed reply. You, and the rest of the teams attention to detail and quality of contribution to the open source community continues to really impress.

@shankartechnik
is it possible to resize images on file upload
Jeremy Turowetz
@jerturowetz
@hazephase to your first question about radio buttons: depending on your use case you might be able to achieve this by using a repeatable group
@shankartechnik I'm pretty sure the cmb2 file type uses the WordPress media uploader. This would mean that WordPress will resize images based on your configuration exactly as it would if you added files to the media library directly.
Elroy Fernandes
@hazephase
@jerturowetz thanks, I wanted to ask you can I have radio button options where the user fills them in ? or can I add variables to the options array ?
Jeremy Turowetz
@jerturowetz
That falls a bit outside the normal use case I'd think. Radio buttons are not natively meant to accept input (beyond "checked"). Dynamically building radio labels & keys to store them in the dB would require building custom functions and validation.

how to update CMB2 while it is not uploaded as plugins . I included CMB2 library in my theme.
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
@susantp just download the plugin from http://wordpress.org/plugins/cmb2/, then replace the guts of your cmb2 folder with what is in the downloaded zip
Chris Reynolds
@jazzsequence
Or do the same from GitHub. But there's no way to automatically update CMB2, it's a manual thing.
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
(when it's bundled)
Also, if you do it from github, you're going to get a lot of the developer artifacts... e.g. the tests directory, the sass files, etc. Things you won't need.

Anyone know how I can retrieve a specific value from my repeatable field group? Essentially, how do I get a specific value from an array?
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
@iantbarker like a specific value from an specific row, or a specific field from all rows?
Ian Barker
@iantbarker
@jtsternberg Good question... Specific value (first is fine) from the specific row (first is fine)
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
@iantbarker have you seen the docs for it? https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2/wiki/Field-Types#css-field-class-32
Ian Barker
@iantbarker
@jtsternberg I looked through those but didn't see anything but am probably missing something. I know how to loop through and get all the values.
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
@iantbarker using that example in the wiki, something like this:

How display all the users in a dropdown option
Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
You would likely use an example similar to this one, but updating to use the user query methods: https://github.com/CMB2/CMB2/wiki/Adding-your-own-field-types#example-2-posts-or-other-post_type-dropdown-store-post_id

Justin Sternberg
@jtsternberg
Can’t say I have. Curious, what are you using to do the import/export?
