Link Picker for CMB2

Link Picker control designed to work with CMB2.

About

Using the Link Picker for CMB2 control, you can choose a link from your WordPress site, or manually enter a link. You can also identify if the link should open in a new window, or not.

Features:

• Easy to integrate with CMB2, just add a type of link_picker
• Works with repeatable groups
• Works as a repeatable field when repeatable is set to true
• Outputs an array of text, url and blank when using get_post_meta
• You are able to split the values of the field into individual parts by setting split_values to true. You can retrieve the split values by using the ID of the field and appending _text, _url and _blank to the ID when using get_post_meta (not compatible if using a repeatable field)

See usage examples under Installation.

Installation

2. Upload the link-picker-for-cmb2 folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
3. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
4. There are no settings for the plugin. See examples below for usage.

Example metabox:

$cmb->add_field( array(
	'name' => __( 'Website URL', 'cmb2' ),
	'desc' => __( 'field description (optional)', 'cmb2' ),
	'id'   => $prefix . 'url',
	'type' => 'link_picker',
	'repeatable' => true,
	'split_values' => true  // default is false
) );

Example display:

$url = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_yourprefix_url', true );


if ( 'true' === $url[0]['blank'] ) {
	$blank = ' target="_blank"';
} else {

}

printf(
	'<a href="%s"%s>%s</a>',
	esc_url( $url[0]['url'] ),
