How to add add_meta_box to specific Page Template?

I want to add add_meta_box to specific page type like Page Template, Like Product Template.

I am using this article http://wp.smashingmagazine.com/2011/10/04/create-custom-post-meta-boxes-wordpress/ to try it.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

If your custom page template filename is foobar.php, you can use get_post_meta():

global $post;
if ( 'foobar.php' == get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true ) ) {
    // The current page has the foobar template assigned
    // do something
}

Personally, I like calling this inside my add_meta_boxes_page callback, and wrapping it around the add_meta_box() call itself.

function wpse82477_add_meta_boxes_page() {
    global $post;
    if ( 'foobar.php' == get_post_meta( $post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true ) ) {
        add_meta_box( $args );
    }
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_page', 'wpse82477_add_meta_boxes_page' );

You’ll just need to instruct users to save the page after assigning the template, so that the meta box appears.

Method 2

I found a few bugs with the answer above option above but I customized this option below and it helped – no bugs at all.

add_action('add_meta_boxes', 'add_product_meta');
function add_product_meta()
{
    global $post;

    if(!empty($post))
    {
        $pageTemplate = get_post_meta($post->ID, '_wp_page_template', true);

        if($pageTemplate == 'page-templates/product-page.php' )
        {
            add_meta_box(
                'product_meta', // $id
                'Product Information', // $title
                'display_product_information', // $callback
                'page', // $page
                'normal', // $context
                'high'); // $priority
        }
    }
}

function display_product_information()
{
    // Add the HTML for the post meta
}

It’s clean

Method 3

This is a solution with name of the page :

Accueil is the name of the page.

    $screens = ['Accueil'];
    foreach ($screens as $screen) {
     if ( get_the_title() == $screen ) {//condition
     add_meta_box(
      'accueil_données',
      'Informations sur Orchestre',
      'metabox_accueil_infos',
      'page',
      'normal',
      'high'
     );
   }
}

Method 4

function mcf_add_custom_metabox() {
    global $post;
    if ( $_REQUEST['post'] == 30 ) {
        add_meta_box( 'shop_editor', ' ', 'mcf_callback', 'page' );
    }
}
add_action( 'add_meta_boxes_page', 'mcf_add_custom_metabox' );

I got a way to add metabox in specific page using page id.
