This plugin lets you create meta boxes by creating and calling a function but without needing to reuse all of the same WordPress functions for doing so.
<h3>Arbitrary section</h3>
Here is an example meta box function:
< ?php
//Meta box for page settings 
function pageSettings() {
 //Name of the meta box (lowercase without spaces) 
 $name = 'page_settings';
 //Enter the titles for each one of your boxes 
 $titles = array('Section Headline');
 //This will run the titles through a function that converts them into lables for the form fields. 
 $boxes = makeTitles($name,$titles);
 //Description of meta box 
 $desc = 'Page Settings';
 //Show on page type: 
 $types = array('page');
 //Pull in existing meta field value 
 $setHeadline = get_post_meta($_GET['post'],"_page_settings_section_headline",true);
 $content = "Page Headline:”; 
 $content .= “”;
 //Run the function 
 $config = array( 
 ‘name’=>$name, 
 ‘boxes’=>$boxes, 
 ‘desc’=>$desc, 
 ‘type’=>$type, 
 ‘content’=>$content 
 );
 //Create the object 
 newMetaBox($config); 
}
//Run it 
pageSettings();
?>
