Add kleo meta box to custom post type

[sharmstr]

I know this out of the normal support scope, but can you tell me how the kleo specific meta boxes are added to the posts/page admin section? What I’m trying to figure out is how to get them to come up in a custom post type. Does kleo do a check to see if its a custom post type and then not display them?

It just figures that 5 minutes after I posted this question, I figured it out. For anyone else wanting to do this.

In /kleo/lib/metaboxes.php add your custom post type to the ‘pages’ key in the $meta_boxes array starting on line 19.

Kleo team: How can I do this so its upgrade safe?

you can make a copy of the file keeping the same structure in your child theme folder and make the modifications there.

I tried that and it didnt work. That’s why I asked. I copied /kleo/lib/metaboxes.php to /kleo-child/lib/metaboxes.php.

Hi, That won’t work since overriding is only available for page templates.
You can do something like in your child theme functions:

add_filter( 'kleo_meta_boxes', 'kleo_my_metaboxes' );
function kleo_my_metaboxes( array $meta_boxes ) {

	// Start with an underscore to hide fields from custom fields list
	$prefix = '_kleo_';
	
	$meta_boxes[] = array(
		'id'         => 'general_settings',
		'title'      => 'Theme General settings',
		'pages'      => array( 'custom_post_name' ), // Post type
		'context'    => 'normal',
		'priority'   => 'default',
		'show_names' => true, // Show field names on the left
		'fields'     => array(
			array(

@abe. This works great. At first I was thinking that it sucked to have to use all of that code just to add a custom post type, but what I realized is now I have complete control over what settings can be changed. My site will have hundreds of authors and I want to give them the ability to add media to their posts, but not change any of the page formatting. Plus I can remove the ‘upload/self hosted’ fields so they have to use youtube and vimeo videos. Thank you! 🙂
