Merging Configuration with the Defaults
Lab: Reusable Meta Box Module
Video Runtime: 10:50
If we run our code as it is right now, the meta boxes did not appear. Why? Because we only configured what was different in the Portfolio and Subtitle configuration models. We need to merge each of those with the default configuration parameters. Let’s do that in this episode.
You’ll be using the PHP function array_replace_recursive to merge all levels within our multidimensional arrays.
You need to have an active Pro membership in order to access the rest of this episode and its code….
When you get done with this episode, both custom meta boxes will now render for a post. WooHoo!! Pat yourself on the back, as you did a lot of work to get to this point.
Keep going as we have more work to do on the Save task and making the get all keys reusable.
Your functions are bloated. Put them on a diet. Think "skinny" and "as few lines as possible."
