Usage

Container is a group of custom fields and display options. Containers are displayed on different parts of the backend, according to their type and display options.

Containers have a title, which must be unique across the whole WordPress instance.

use Carbon_Fields\Container;
use Carbon_Fields\Field;

Container::make('post_meta', 'Custom Data')
    ->show_on_post_type('page')
    ->add_fields(array(
        Field::make('map', 'crb_location')->set_position(37.423156, -122.084917, 14),
        Field::make('choose_sidebar', 'crb_custom_sidebar'),
        Field::make('image', 'crb_photo'),

Verify the plugin has been installed

When Carbon-Fields is used as a plugin, and can be deactivated by the user, it is recommended to protect your theme/plugin code, by having a fallback functions, in case someone has deactivated the Carbon-Fields plugin, and you have code that depends on the carbon_get_ functions. Here is a snippet, that needs to be loaded after the plugin:

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_post_meta' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_post_meta( $id, $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_the_post_meta' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_the_post_meta( $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_theme_option' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_theme_option( $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_term_meta' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_term_meta( $id, $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_user_meta' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_user_meta( $id, $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}

if ( ! function_exists( 'carbon_get_comment_meta' ) ) {
    function carbon_get_comment_meta( $id, $name, $type = null ) {
        return false;
    }   
}
