To see changelog of all extensions, please see here.

5.9.4 - 2024-02-27

  • Fix security issue when users set object id in the helper functions where they don't have permission to view (such as private posts)

5.9.3 - 2024-02-02

Highlights:

Fix security issue of the output shortcode not escaping. Users can disable escaping (to revert the previous behavior) by adding this snippet:

add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_shortcode_secure', '__return_false' );
// or
add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_shortcode_secure_{$field_id}', '__return_false' );

  • Icon field: allow to set relative path/URL for settings
  • Icon field: add support for scanning CSS file (icon_css setting) and parsing CSS class
  • Autocomplete field: fix not saving first value if the value is 0 (integer).

5.9.0 – 2023-11-22

Highlights:

Add new icon field type, which supports Font Awesome Free, Font Awesome Pro and custom icon set. Can be used with icon font with CSS file or with SVGs. See the plugin docs for how to use it.

The icon field type will be added to the new version of Meta Box Builder soon, which will allow you to configure its settings with UI.

5.8.2 - 2023-10-13

  • Google Maps & OSM: ask for current user location for the map if there is no saved location or no default location is set (#1537)
  • Fix media templates missing in blocks (#1536)

5.8.1 – 2023-09-20

  • Fix missing validation files

5.8.0 – 2023-09-20

Highlights:

This version improves validation module, makes it work for file’s MIME types and in groups. More specifically, validation now works in the following cases:

  • Cloneable fields
  • file and image fields, both non-cloneable & cloneable.
  • Subfields in groups, including file and image. For required subfields, asterisks are also added properly.

It works well with Meta Box Builder and with code.

An improvement for registering validation rules with code is that you only need to set field ID in all cases. Previously, you had to set like _file_{field_id}[] for files, or field_id[] for taxonomy fields.

Other changes:

  • Output media templates only on edit pages
  • Remove non-existing icon files in jQueryUI CSS
  • Hide right area when creating new term (#1528)

5.7.0 – 2023-05-23

Highlights:

Add add_new option (bool) for post, taxonomy, taxonomy_advanced and user fields, allowing users to add new posts, terms or users without leaving the edit screen. The add new action is done in a popup in the current edit screen, where you can set all the necessary data for the new item.

This option improves the existing option for taxonomy, and now works for post and user fields as well. It also works with cloneable fields and all field types (select_advanced, select, checkbox_list, radio and even select_tree and checkbox_tree).
