Hi and thanks for the great reading.

Could answer me, if is there any link or tutorial to insert these meta box’s, in a plugin page ?

In my case, I’m writing a domain manager to control a few domains I have, and I want to add these meta box’s on the ‘Add a Domain’ page.

Kind Regards!

Hi,

I installed your plugin and looks good. Thanks! However, I keep getting “tinyMCE not defined” error (in firebug) when I try to switch to visual editor. Once I un-installed the plugin, the error was gone. I made a similar plugin before and also have the same problem. Do you know why?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for this tutorial.
What if I want to replace an existing meta box.
Lets say I made a plugin witch extends page templates.
So I have made an Page templates extended meta box, but now I want to hide the default Page template meta box.

Is this possible?

Nice snippet. But now I have a “what next” question.

Suppose I create a meta box that has some form elements in it to collect meta data. When the user saves the post, I want to be able to process and save the meta data.

How do I write a plugin to access that POSTed data?
