Shortcode

Besides normal ways to display fields on the website, Meta Box also provides a simple shortcode [rwmb_meta] to help you show custom fields in the post content or widgets easily.

[rwmb_meta id="field_id" object_id="15"]

Attributes

Attribute	Description
id	The field ID. Required.
object_id	The object ID. Optional. If not defined, then the current object ID is used.
attribute	Get a single attribute from the field value (such as URL of the image or term slug). The field value is get with the rwmb_get_value() helper function. This works only when the value is an array.
render_shortcode	Whether to render inner shortcodes inside the value of the field. For example, if you enter a shortcode in a textarea/editor field, this attribute will render that shortcode and return the rendered content. Default true.

This shortcode works exactly like the rwmb_the_value() function with the same parameters.

Other attributes

You can pass other attributes to the shortcode if you want. If you do so, those attributes will be passed to the rwmb_the_value() function as the 2nd parameter.
