Adding Fields After the Title (Above Main WP Content Editor)

Adding FM fields above the WP main content editor is a fairly simple process that can be broken down into three basic steps:
- Render the meta boxes to appear in some uniquely defined context--(uniquely defined context as in not
'normal'
,'side'
, or'advanced'
). Here,'ai_after_title'
is used. -
unset
the unique context from$wp_meta_boxes['post']
. - Set the
$context
argument of any$fm->add_meta_box()
calls to match the unique context from above.
The hook, edit_form_after_title
is used to achieve the first and second steps.
Set up the context:
function ai_edit_form_after_title() {
// get globals vars
global $post, $wp_meta_boxes;
// render the FM meta box in 'ai_after_title' context
do_meta_boxes( get_current_screen(), 'ai_after_title', $post );
// unset 'ai_after_title' context from the post's meta boxes
unset( $wp_meta_boxes['post']['ai_after_title'] );
}
add_action( 'edit_form_after_title', 'ai_edit_form_after_title' );
Use the context:
function ai_after_title_fm_fields() {
$fm = new Fieldmanager_Group( array(
'name' => 'after_title_fm_fields',
'children' => array(
'After Title Text' => new Fieldmanager_TextField( __( 'After Title Text', 'alleyinteractive' ) ),
'After Title Link' => new Fieldmanager_Link( __( 'After Title Link', 'alleyinteractive' ) ),
),
) );
$fm->add_meta_box( __( 'AI After Title', 'alleyinteractive' ), array( 'post' ), 'ai_after_title', 'high' );
}
add_action( 'fm_post_post', 'ai_after_title_fm_fields' );
Once executed properly, you should be able to now drag other draggable meta boxes in and out of this context.
