Hi,
I have a table which lists records. I have a column called notes where I was able to replace the value with a textarea field with the value within it - this works fine. (eventually I want to make the data updatable)

I have done the same with a checkbox. I have a column of checkboxes (check to mark as completed) in the DB the column is filled with 0's and 1's. 1 equals completed.

The values seem to be being brought in to the checkboxes OK but they are not displaying as checked.

In the checkbox I have
Name = completed[{var:ListIssues.row.Issues.cckey}]
Value = {var:ListIssues.row.Issues.completed}

Do I need to write some jquery that says if value is 1 checkbox = checked, or should it be checked by default?

Oh, I also don't understand what the Enable Ghost is for - is there an explanation somewhere?

Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi ctrlmedia,

How do you know the value is passed correctly ? try to add this in the checkbox label:
{var:ListIssues.row.Issues.completed}

Does it show 1 ? if it does then I will need to check the page.

Best regards,
Max

Hi Max,
Thanks for the quick response.
Yeah they all have zero apart from the ones I want to be checked where they are 1's (but not checked)

I will PM you the page?

Hi ctrlmedia,

Ok, this will need a workaround in order to get the box checked.

In your checkbox "Extra attributes", please write this:
{fn:php_fn_name}
You will then need to create a PHP function and name it "php_fn_name" (or whatever).
In this function please use this code:
if($this->get("ListIssues.row.Issues.completed")){ echo "checked"; }

Best regards,
Max

Another note, the value of the checkbox should be set to "1", it should not change.

HI Max,
I have set the value to 1.
I have created the php function and added it to the "extra attributes" box but it is not working.
Looking at the source it adds {fn="php_fn_name}" to the input.

Thanks for helping.

Hi ctrlmedia,

it should be : not =
{fn:php_fn_name}
And "php_fn_name" should be the name of the php function.

Hi Max,
That is what I have put in but that is not what is being shown when I view the source code.
(although 'checked' is what should appear)

I have added images to better describe.

Hi ctrlmedia,

And what is the name of your php function ?

Best regards,
Max

php_fn_name - image attached.

That seems to have done the trick Max.
Was it an issue with the way it output the extra attribute function?
