Beaver Builder and custom fields

Thanks yes, the solution works great for most fields, but not for example one’s including urls where I want to link the url to an icon or image. I’ve had an idea though.

I agree about Gutenberg. It’s still a long long way from being able to do what something like Themer and Oxygen can do though which is to create a template for every single part of the theme (or replace it completely in the case of Oxygen), different headers on different CPTs or categories, conditional logic etc

I’ll let you know if I manage what I’m trying to achieve in the video. Thanks

Metabox has the option to save data to a custom table. I know this sounds like madness but would it be possible somehow to use MB to create custom fields that are saved in the GD database? It’s then possible to pull in the fields via Themer. I’m sure this sounds stupidly convaluted to you but I know I’m not alone in wanting to be able to do use the Themer field connectors.
This is the MB info https://metabox.io/plugins/mb-custom-table/

Thanks. This is their reply. Does GD use the same data structure as described? If so then I’ll figure out how to do this. Thanks

“If GD uses the same data structure as MB Custom Table, then it’s possible. MB Custom Table’s data structure is very simple:

Column ID: store the object ID (post ID or term ID).
Other columns: store the custom field values.
It’s fine if some columns are different, but the ID column must be used for object ID. In that case, you can use MB Custom Table to handle the job for you.”

Hi, I’m sorry to bug you about this but please can you tell me if GD uses the below data structure so that I can try MB for custom fields – it’ll be a bit of learning curve for me saving to a custom table so I don’t want to try if it’s definitely not going to work. Thanks
