Thanks for the urgent response, we are supporting thousands of installs. :)

I originally posted under a recent issue ticket but realized this is a separate issue involving just the core metabox plugin.

Can you post the code you are using for select_advanced? Also, what does it do if you use a regular select?

[ryanlabelle]

Sure thing. Thanks.

Our code looks like this:

$options = array(
        'id'          => "KEY",
        'name'        =>  'Select individually',
        'type'        => 'post',
        // Post type
        'post_type'   => $post_type,
        // Field type, either 'select' or 'select_advanced' (default)
        'field_type'  => 'select_advanced',
        'multiple'    => true,
        'placeholder' =>  'Select an Item',
        'desc' =>   $desc,
        'query_args'  => array(
            'post_status'    => 'publish',
            'posts_per_page' => - 1,
        ),
        'class' => 'checkbox-condition',
        'tab'  => 'select_list',
    );

Regular select seems to work well.

Also, the markup looks close, the posts (select options) are coming through but the select list just isn't working.

I don't see any JS console errors.

[funkatron82]

Okay, think I fixed it in https://github.com/rilwis/meta-box/commit/774e4ed0278c401a4f38e3cf973e3b005130bbc2. The select fields were getting an extra [] on the name by accident. Fixed the culprit. Download the latest version from github for now, Rilwis will do an update on wordpress.org later tonight.

[ryanlabelle]

Thanks. Just testing and I"m not getting the fix but I'll test some more.

[ryanlabelle]

Sorry bud, still getting a blank box.

Here is the markup after the recent update: http://new.tinygrab.com/6407caa59e8498cba0a5931455c313c08915eaad17.png

Here is a screen of the controls: http://new.tinygrab.com/6407caa59e00474cdc1ee9156ce2a5939e8e7e18bc.png They are there but when active (mouse click) there is no dropdown

What it normally looks like: http://new.tinygrab.com/6407caa59e18f169707480f9ebb4976e03c572fc70.png

Let me know how I can help debug.

No JS console errors.

[funkatron82]

So the select_advanced doesn't work at all? When you click on it nothing comes up?

[ryanlabelle]

That's right. Nothing comes up.

[ryanlabelle]

Okay, seems to be an issue with WooCommerce. Perhaps a conflict with chosen?

Confirmed, issue with the latest version of WooCommerce version 2.5.2 - Would you like me to open a new ticket?

[funkatron82]

Woocomerce, again......

[ryanlabelle]

LOL, I feel your pain, it's a beast! We've added support for it in our latest themes and there are so many plugins to support. Unfortunately WP is now married to it.

[funkatron82]

This is like the third time WooComerce has caused compatibility issues.

[ryanlabelle]

How can I help debug? Can I do some testing to assist you?

[rilwis]

Looks like WooCommerce uses an older version of Select2 library (3.5.4) and that breaks the JS code of Meta Box (uses 4.x version).

Previously WooCommerce used Chosen library, now Select2. :(

[rilwis]

OK, made a fix for that. Works for me. Please test it.

[ryanlabelle]

Thank you. I'll test it out tonight. :)

[ryanlabelle]

Fix works great. Thank you very much.
