I didn't know that you can do it like this, thanks David!

[@DavidMcCan]

You're welcome. Glad it was something new.

They also have an online code generator on their website. Can use that as well with some modifications to fit your CPTs and Taxonomies.

Thanks, I found this quite informative.

[@cubantek]

Thank you. This was really helpful

[@Brian_HWS]

Thanks, this is a pretty cool little trick. Since we are creating a plugin, do you think there are any security concerns or future conflict concerns? I am looking for a custom field solution, and I like this outcome.

[@DavidMcCan]

Should be safe as long as you are not incorporating any user supplied content.

[@Brian_HWS]

@@DavidMcCan thanks. Thanks again for putting this together.

Hi David,
I'm looking at migrating from Toolset for real estate websites, but i see that MetaBox doesn't have a default map function that is needed for displaying listings based on their geographic data the way I'm used to.
Any thoughts? Have you done any mapping with it?

[@DavidMcCan]

I haven't used it, but Meta Box has a maps field as well as a Geolocation extension. Both work with Google Maps or Open Street Maps.

You can do the same with ACF.

[@DavidMcCan]

I see with ACF you can export CPTs and field groups to PHP. I don't see how to disable the ACF UI in the WordPress admin.

[@lefteris2583]

@@DavidMcCan I don't think Pro is required, but yes, ACF needs to be installed.

[@PswACC]

You can do the exact same thing with Advanced Custom Fields.

[@DavidMcCan]

I know you can export CPTs and field groups to PHP. I don't see how to disable the ACF UI in the WordPress admin. I believe you can do it with code though.

[@PswACC]

@@DavidMcCan Just did some research and it seems that you can't deactivate ACF. You can only "Disable Custom Fields Editing on a Live Site" which the documentation has an article explaining the process.
