just created a kind of long metabox using a tutorial at wptuts but I am lost in two things:
The output of the metabox displays all data grouped (ex. in grouped checkboxes they are all in a whole even if I have different groups) and I'd like to grab the titles of each group and display them in different tables, divs or blocks.
Don't know how to display the saved data in the post, and also display it in separate blocks.
My code is this:
$prefix = 'dbt_';
$meta_box = array(
'id' => 'features',
'title' => 'Property Features',
'page' => 'post',
'context' => 'normal',
'priority' => 'high',
'fields' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Price (in USD)',
'desc' => '',
'id' => $prefix . 'text',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ' '
),
array(
'name' => 'Price (in Mexican Peso)',
'desc' => '',
'id' => $prefix . 'text',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ' '
),
array(
'name' => 'Address',
'desc' => '',
'id' => $prefix . 'textarea',
'type' => 'textarea',
