Make table for this meta box? (wordpress) - wordpress

Question

I have been trying to display this meta box info in my template as a table, but it isn't working out.
What I want to do is make a simple table out of it. All I need is someone to help me start. The code for the meta box is done, but I have no idea how to output it.
$prefix = 'anime_';
$anime_box = array(
'id' => 'anime-meta-box',
'title' => 'Anime Details',
'page' => 'post',
'context' => 'normal',
'priority' => 'high',
'fields' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Name',
'desc' => 'Add the name of the Anime in either English or Japanese(Romanji).',
'id' => $prefix . 'anname',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Genre',
'desc' => 'Is it a thriller, action/adventure, etc...',
'id' => $prefix . 'angenre',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Directed by',
'desc' => 'Name of director(s).',
'id' => $prefix . 'an_director',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Music by',
'desc' => 'Name of composer(s)',
'id' => $prefix . 'anmusic',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Studio',
'desc' => 'Studio which owns the anime.',
'id' => $prefix . 'anstudio',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Licensed by',
'desc' => 'Name of both American and Japanese license holders.',
'id' => $prefix . 'anlicense',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Network(s)',
'desc' => 'Networks which air the show in both Japan and the United States.',
'id' => $prefix . 'annetwork',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Original run',
'desc' => 'Date of when the anime first aired and when it stopped.',
'id' => $prefix . 'anrun',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
array(
'name' => 'Episodes',
'desc' => 'Number of episodes.',
'id' => $prefix . 'anepisodes',
'type' => 'text',
'std' => ''
),
)
);
add_action('admin_menu', 'anime_add_box');
// Add meta box
function anime_add_box() {
global $anime_box;
add_meta_box($anime_box['id'], $anime_box['title'], 'anime_show_box', $anime_box['page'], $anime_box['context'], $anime_box['priority']);
}
// Callback function to show fields in meta box
function anime_show_box() {
global $anime_box, $post;
// Use nonce for verification
echo '<input type="hidden" name="anime_meta_box_nonce" value="', wp_create_nonce(basename(__FILE__)), '" />';
echo '<table class="form-table">';
foreach ($anime_box['fields'] as $field) {
// get current post meta data
$meta = get_post_meta($post->ID, $field['id'], true);
echo '<tr>',
'<th style="width:20%"><label for="', $field['id'], '"><strong>', $field['name'], ':</strong></label></th>',
'<td>';
switch ($field['type']) {
case 'text':
echo '<input type="text" name="', $field['id'], '" id="', $field['id'], '" value="', $meta ? $meta : $field['std'], '" size="30" style="width:97%" />',
'<br /><small>', $field['desc'],'</small>';
break;
}
echo '<td>',
'</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';
}
add_action('save_post', 'anime_save_data');
// Save data from meta box
function anime_save_data($post_id) {
global $anime_box;
// verify nonce
if (!wp_verify_nonce($_POST['anime_meta_box_nonce'], basename(__FILE__))) {
return $post_id;
}
// check autosave
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) {
return $post_id;
}
// check permissions
if ('page' == $_POST['post_type']) {
if (!current_user_can('edit_page', $post_id)) {
return $post_id;
}
} elseif (!current_user_can('edit_post', $post_id)) {
return $post_id;
}
foreach ($anime_box['fields'] as $field) {
$old = get_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], true);
$new = $_POST[$field['id']];
if ($new && $new != $old) {
update_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], $new);
} elseif ('' == $new && $old) {
delete_post_meta($post_id, $field['id'], $old);
}
}
}
I tried using
<table>
<tr>
<td><?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "anname", true); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
As a way to test it out one field, but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?

Answer 1

I believe the code you are using should be correct, however, the meta data ID you retrieving seems to be missing your prefix variable out: "anime_". Try:
<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "anime_anname", true); ?>
