To get started, please follow the examples in the included `example-functions.php` file and have a look at the [basic usage instructions](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Basic-Usage). You can see a list of available field types [here](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Field-Types#types). ## Features: * Create metaboxes to be used on post edit screens. * [Create forms to be used on an options pages](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Using-CMB-to-create-an-Admin-Theme-Options-Page). * Create forms to handle user meta and display them on user profile add/edit pages. * [Flexible API that allows you to use CMB forms almost anywhere, even on the front-end](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Bringing-Metaboxes-to-the-Front-end). * [Several field types are included](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Field-Types). * [Custom API hook that allows you to create your own field types](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2/wiki/Adding-your-own-field-types). * There are numerous hooks and filters, allowing you to modify many aspects of the library (without editing it directly). * Repeatable fields for most field types are supported, as well as repeatable field groups. * CMB2 is safe to bundle with any project. It will only load the newest version in the system. ## Translation * Thanks to many in the CMB2 community and to our friends at [wp-translations.org](http://wp-translations.org/project/cmb2/), we have a good start on several translations for CMB2. Please feel free to [work with wp-translations.org](http://wp-translations.org/project/cmb2/) to provide even more! ## 3rd Party Resources #### Custom Field Types * [CMB2 Field Type: CMB Attached Posts Field](https://github.com/coreymcollins/cmb-attached-posts) from [coreymcollins](https://github.com/coreymcollins): `custom_attached_posts`, for attaching posts to a page. * [CMB2 Field Type: CMB2 Post Search field](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2-Post-Search-field): `post_search_text` adds a post-search dialog for searching/attaching other post IDs. * [CMB2 Field Type: CMB2 RGBa Colorpicker](https://github.com/JayWood/CMB2_RGBa_Picker) from [JayWood](https://github.com/JayWood): `rgba_colorpicker ` adds a color picker that supports RGBa, (RGB with transparency (alpha) value). * [CMB2 Field Type: Google Maps](https://github.com/mustardBees/cmb_field_map) from [mustardBees](https://github.com/mustardBees): Custom field type for Google Maps. > The `pw_map` field stores the latitude/longitude values which you can then use to display a map in your theme. * [CMB2 Field Type: Select2](https://github.com/mustardBees/cmb-field-select2) from [mustardBees](https://github.com/mustardBees): Custom field types which use the [Select2](http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/) script: > 1.
