hi does any one know how can i add other meta box and save the data in a different custom fields, using the code below.
<?php
function add_meta_boxes() {
add_meta_box(
'repeatable-fields',
'Audio Playlist',
'repeatable_meta_box_display',
'post',
'normal',
'high');
}
add_action('admin_menu', 'add_meta_boxes');
function repeatable_meta_box_display() {
global $custom_meta_fields, $post;
wp_nonce_field( 'repeatable_meta_box_nonce', 'repeatable_meta_box_nonce' );
//$repeatable_fields = get_post_meta($post->ID, $prefix, true);
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('.metabox_submit').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$('#publish').click();
});
$('#add-row').on('click', function() {
var row = $('.empty-row.screen-reader-text').clone(true);
row.removeClass('empty-row screen-reader-text');
row.insertBefore('#repeatable-fieldset-one tbody>tr:last');
return false;
});
$('.remove-row').on('click', function() {
$(this).parents('tr').remove();
return false;
});
$('#repeatable-fieldset-one tbody').sortable({
opacity: 0.6,
revert: true,
cursor: 'move',
handle: '.sort'
});
});
</script>
<?php
$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'custom_audio', true);
?>

function add_meta_boxes() { add_meta_box( 'repeatable-fields', 'Audio Playlist', 'repeatable_meta_box_display', 'post', 'normal', 'high'); add_meta_box( 'wpa-45985', 'Wordpress Answers Metabox', 'wpa_meta_box_display', 'post', 'normal', 'high'); } add_action('admin_menu', 'add_meta_boxes');
just define a 2nd metabox, then define its display function and save function. it is exactly the same. EXCEPT, that if you want to save it as a different meta entry then you will change the name attribute for all the new inputs.
for example: your first metabox has the name=”custom_audio[]”, so to save the 2nd box in a different meta entry you’d name the meta inputs differently
<input type="text" name="wpa_45985['input1']" />
<input type="text" name="wpa_45985['input2']" />
and all your meta in this box will be saved in the meta key wpa_45985
edit#1: adding display and save callbacks. you should add some data sanitation to the save function but this should be a good start
function wpa_meta_box_display() {
global $post;
wp_nonce_field( 'wpa_45985', 'wpa_45985_nonce' );
$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'wpa_45985', true);
$foo = isset($meta[foo]) ? $meta[foo] : '';
$bar = isset($meta[bar]) ? $meta[bar] : '';
?>
<input type="text" class="widefat" name="wpa_45985[foo]" value="<?php echo $foo; ?>"/>
<input type="text" class="widefat" name="wpa_45985[bar]" value="<?php echo $bar; ?>"/>
<?php
}
add_action('save_post', 'wpa_meta_box_save');
function wpa_meta_box_save($post_id) {
global $custom_meta_fields;
if ( ! isset( $_POST['wpa_45985_nonce'] ) ||
! wp_verify_nonce( $_POST['wpa_45985_nonce'], 'wpa_45985' ) )
return;
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE)
return;
if (!current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id))
return;
update_post_meta($post_id,'wpa_45985',$_POST['wpa_45985']);
} ?>
