Description

Hi,
In {wp-admin} default post add form, if metabox added tab button skips metaboxes and directly goes to Publish box to take action.

Developer who wants to add tabindex to all metaboxes created, add_meta_box function should have parameter to set tabindex which will allow to go through it before publish post or skip if false.

  1. Could you confirm that the issue still exists after [21311] (for #21340)?
  2. In that case, could your provide a piece of code to reproduce the issue?

Hi SergeyBiryukov,

use add add_meta_box, { http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_meta_box } and add one metabox to any post type and check how tabindex works in admin.

Replying to amolv:

Hey amolv,

I assure you that Sergey knows what 'add_meta_box' is. ;-)

Instead of telling us in a short sentence what to do, it would be much more helpful if you could provide a code sample, or even a screenshot of how you've added the new meta box.

My guess from your description is that you've added a meta box above the publish meta box, and when you tab from the editor, it goes directly to the publish meta box and skips your new meta box. Is that correct?

Yes sir, you are correct, http://demo.amiworks.co.in/wptest/Add%20New%20Post.png, Please check screenshot I tried to describe more.

TinyMCE has a setting to control what happens when the user tabs out of the editor iframe. For the main editor this is set to insert-media-button,save-post and can be changed from PHP in tinymce_before_init, or JS in tinymce.get('content').settings.tabfocus_elements. Note that the default value :prev,:next doesn't work consistently on that screen.

  • Status changed from new to closed

@azaozz's solution looks like it will work well for this situation. The default behavior should still continue to place the focus in the .minor-publishing-actions box after leaving the editor. As such I'm closing this as "wont-fix".
