Has anyone put together a checkbox group yet using the FK relations fields as opposed to the (rather nice) mutliple choice selector.

I only ask as one particle field I have will benefit greatly from checkbox group.. which BY DEFAULT will have them all selected when creating a new item.. difficult to do I think with the multiple selector.. unless of course anyone knows how to make it so when I do a new item, any FK Relations multiselect field will select everything BY DEFAULT?

Hi,

My file is attached.

Some remarks:
- Put this file in admin\comp\fork\model\fields (rename to .php)
- override the form field (see below)
- you porbalby nee do some rework to get it working your component, but that is not the hard part
- not checked by default (didn't put any effort in it yet)
- its a quick hack. It probably has bugs/not used code

You can override the field (www.j-cook.pro/index.php/f/forks. Read the part about xml field)
You will have something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<form>
	<fieldset name="group.form" addfieldpath="/administrator/components/com_fidelity/fork/models/fields">
		<field name="facilitators"
				alias="id"
				label="FIDELITY_FIELD_FACILITATORS"
				filter="array"
				type="mycheckboxes"
				multiple="true"
				labelKey="name"/>
	</fieldset>
</form>

Note the "fork" part in addfieldpath.
Put that xml file in admin/comp/fork/models/forms/

My screenshot below (dutch): Facilitators is the checkboxes, users is a normal relation field.

Hope you can use it

Paul

Romkabouter Offline Elite Member Posts: 310 Thank you received: 131 Karma: 48	Hmm, I think this is a different one, but still usable I think. I use this exact file for checkboxes on an online entry form
