Return array from Theme Options MetaBox/Timber Twig

I have created the options and settings page for my theme using the code in the snippet library: https://github.com/WebDevStudios/CMB2-Snippet-Library/tree/master/options-and-settings-pages

I am also using the timber/twig framework, so what I want to do is retrieve the entire array of values from the theme options box so that I can pass it to my .twig view.

I can’t seem to find anything about this. Is there an easy way to return an array of all field values/keys for a particular metabox (theme options page in this case) so I can assign it to a variable?

The mentioned “myprefix_get_option( ‘test_text’ )” in the readme should be a good first step. Note that you may have renamed the “myprefix” part and if you did, change it to whatever you renamed it to. You may need to call it a number of times to get all the specific options you want from it, but those could all be appended to the same variable.

Thanks for your reply Michael.

Maybe this could be a feature request then? I would be great to be able to reference a particular metabox like that and pull an array of the values, especially for use with a library like Timber.

Is cmb2 not a good option for an admin panel? I’d like to be able to do things like tabbed options pages or separate collapsible metaboxes but I don’t think I can — maybe I’m just trying to avoid the work of doing it through the wordpress api?

Great plugin/library btw, love it – especially the repeating fields!

Since myprefix_get_option returns the result of:
```
cmb2_get_option( myprefix_admin()->key, $key );
```
(where “myprefix_admin” should have been replaced with your prefix), you can instead use:
```
$all_options = cmb2_options( myprefix_admin()->key )->get_options()
```
Re: metaboxes/tabbed UI, etc, yes, you could do it, but you’ll have to be familiar with the markup/apis which drive those features.

Awesome! I created a new function to do that. I had looked at cmb2_options but I was missing the ->get_options() at the end.

Thanks for the help guys, keep on it – this is one of the best additions to wordpress imo, most especially since it is open source.
