   Problem trying to list files that are in a directory within child theme and make as select box to choose one of them and have selection saved with the rest of the data.

   I have studied your hybrid_get_post_templates and can do something similar but
   but only outputting the drop down as normal with a quickly hurried together plugin not within yourmeta-boxes,

   Something along the line of

   function get_header_images() {
   $mythemdir = get_stylesheet_directory();
   
   $dhandle = opendir($mythemdir.'/images/headeraddons/');
   // define an array to hold the files
   $files = array();
   
   if ($dhandle) {
      // loop through all of the files
      while (false !== ($fname = readdir($dhandle))) {
         // if the file is not this file, and does not start with a '.' or '..',
         // then store it for later display
         if (($fname != '.') && ($fname != '..') &&
             ($fname != basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']))) {
             // store the filename
             $files[] = (is_dir( "./$fname" )) ? "(Dir) {$fname}" : $fname;
         }
      }
      // close the directory
      closedir($dhandle);
   }
   
   // Now loop through the files, echoing out a new select option for each one
   foreach( $files as $fname )
   
   return $fname;
   }

   But then how to get this to work with hybrid_post_meta_box_args

   I understand this is outside the scoop of normal support, but any directions or ideas greatly received...

   Well, I am sure that it was working, but now it does not remember the image....

   After choosing an image from the select box and then saving the post/page, once the edit page/post refreshes the select box is back to its default state blank

   Really strange... I have gone over the more recent code that I have been adding to functions.php and none of it refers to this and really just seems strange that it doesn't remember the chosen image

   Any ideas?

   Sorry, should have stipulated more clearly.. here goes

   It does save the original Hybrid: Title Description, Keywords, Series, Thumbnail and newly added Page subtitle but not Header image or Menu title

   screenshot

   code being used

   add_filter( 'hybrid_page_meta_box_args', 'my_meta_box_args_pages' );
   add_filter( 'hybrid_page_meta_box_args', 'my_menu_box_args_pages' );
   
   function my_meta_box_args_pages( $meta ) {
   $images = get_header_images();
   if ( is_array( $images ) )
   		$meta['header_images'] = array( 'name' => 'Header Image', 'title' => __( 'Header image:', $domain ), 'type' => 'select', 'options' => $images );
   
   return $meta ;
   	}
   
   function my_menu_box_args_pages( $meta ) {
   
   $meta['menu_title'] = array( 'name' => 'Menu_title', 'title' => __( 'Menu title:', $domain ), 'type' => 'text' );
   $meta['Subtitle'] = array( 'name' => 'Subtitle', 'title' => __( 'Page subtitle:', $domain ), 'type' => 'text' );
   return $meta ;
   	}

   I have also tried returning back to the code as it was before ie without the addition of
   Menu title & Subtitle Just really get my head around this one...

   Ok, so I can stop banging my head against the wall, thank you

   I just added an underscore and problem resolved...

   Makes me feel a lot better,
   can I suggest that when you have time* you add this to your tutorial clearly this

   *(I personally do not know where you manage to do everything that you do)
