Custom Fields & Options Plugin for WordPress - Xbox Framework

Xbox Framework, developed by Refky Satria Bima, is a lightweight and powerful developer-focused framework for WordPress. It is designed to help theme and plugin developers quickly create Meta Boxes, Theme Options, and Admin Pages without having to write repetitive backend code from scratch.

Unlike general-use plugins like Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) which provide a UI for non-developers, Xbox Framework is typically used as a code-based engine. Developers include it in their projects and define fields using PHP arrays.

Core Features

Versatile Field Types: Supports 20+ field types, including text, switches, color pickers, media uploads, repeaters, and groups.

Theme Options Integration: Easily build a complete settings panel for WordPress themes with tabs and sections.

Meta Boxes: Attach custom fields to specific post types (Posts, Pages, or CPTs) with ease.

Conditional Logic: Show or hide fields based on the values of other fields (e.g., show an "Upload Image" field only if a "Show Banner" switch is turned on).

Responsive UI: The admin interface generated by the framework is modern, clean, and fully responsive for mobile management.

Technical Specifications

Xbox Framework is highly optimized and follows modern WordPress coding standards.

Why Developers Choose Xbox Framework

Performance: It is significantly lighter than "bloated" admin frameworks, making it ideal for high-performance themes.

Consistency: It allows developers to create a unified brand experience in the WordPress dashboard for their clients.

Repeater Fields: One of its strongest features is the ease of creating nested repeater fields, allowing for complex data structures like "Team Members" or "Pricing Tiers."

Basic Implementation Workflow

To use Xbox Framework, you generally follow these steps:

Include the Framework: Download the framework and include the main file in your functions.php or plugin file.

Initialize: Create a new instance of the framework and define your unique ID (e.g., my_theme_options).

Add Sections/Fields: Use the framework's API to add tabs and fields.

PHP

$xbox->add_field( array(    'id'    => 'site-logo',    'name'  => 'Upload Logo',    'type'  => 'file', ));

Display Data: Use the built-in helper function to fetch the saved value in your theme:

$logo = xbox_get_field_value( 'my_theme_options', 'site-logo' );
