Get fields from metabox array

Question

In my functions I'm registering multiple metaboxes with custom fields. A single metabox array for instance, looks like this:

In functions.php

$meta_boxes[] = array(
    'id' => 'general_info',
    'title' => 'General Information',
    'pages' => array('post', 'page', 'link'), // multiple post types, accept custom post types
    'context' => 'normal', // normal, advanced, side (optional)
    'priority' => 'high', // high, low (optional)
    'fields' => array(
        array(
            'name' => 'Asking Price',
            'id' => $prefix . 'asking_price',
            'type' => 'text',
            'std' => ''
        ),
        array(
            'name' => 'Currency',
            'id' => $prefix . 'currency',
            'type' => 'text',
            'std' => 'USD'
        ),
        array(
            'name' => 'Salesman',
            'id' => $prefix . 'salesman',
            'type' => 'text',
            'std' => 'Your Name'
        )
    )
);

In my theme, how can get all the field names (and even values if possible) from metabox general_info ? I'm trying to retrieve data from each metabox separately.

Answer 1

Use get_post_custom, it will return an array of all the posts meta info. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_post_custom

Answer 2

you have to return metabox. place the below code at the end

return $metaboxes;

This will solve your problem
