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?

Actually, I did this recently.
I cannot put some code right now, but will soon, I did not have every box checked by default though.

I see the topic is a week old, did you make some progress?

Fortunalty the standard select box interpretation was well received so I didnt have to invest any time in it, but if you do get time to share i would love to see how you did it

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:
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

Can you reattach the file... i finally got around to needing a checkbox group, came back here knowing it was solved... and the file is saying not found;

Unless admin can restore it?

Sure, this is the original so you have to adapt it a bit

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

Appreicate the repost, will try this tomorrow morning!
