3.1 -> check box in a form

Thursday 26 June 2003 9:02:16 am

....someone could help me ? I can't find anything about this.

I'm trying to display a checkbox in a form but I don't have the correct syntax.
What I use : {attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.data_map.myidentifier}

But I have only YES or NO if the box is checked or not when I crate the form.

May I have the correct syntax or more generally a tutorial for the different objects ?

Thanks Bård for this new step.

So now it display the integrer 0 or 1 but what I want is a "real" checkbox whose result can be send by mail with the other elements of the form.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks

Bård,

I'm not sure to understand what you explained.
But I tryed another way :

{let myattribute=$node.data_map.myidentifier}

<input type="checkbox" name="ContentObjectAttribute_ezstring_data_text_{$myattribute.id}" value="{$:item}">{$:item}</input>

{/let}

Still the same result. For sure it print a checkbox, but I still can't recieve the information if it has been check or not. Nothing.

I'll be very happy to have light on it.

Try this out. In the file:

kernel/classes/datatypes/ezboolean/ezbooleantype.php

We added this function, which turns the datatype ezboolean (a checkbox) into an information collector.

function isInformationCollector()
{
----return true;
}

This works for us in 3.1. 3.2 has this functionality built in.

Unfortunatly it's rather different in my case. 2 round eyes...what are they talking about...

I tried this new method :

function isInformationCollector()
{
return true;
}

...whithout any results.

I turn paranoïd "Forms don't like me".

May I have some help or a link to a tutorial ?
