[Plugin: More Fields] Checkbox issue

I guess what you want to do is to check if that value is there. If so then you run the other queries.

<?php if ($checkbox_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'custom-field-key-name', true)) : ?>

[…]

<?php endif; ?>

Hej Kalstrom,

That’s the solution I was looking for. Thank you so much.
Your help is much appreciated.

I also ran into a problem with Checkboxes, but mine was a problem with the back end, on a post Edit page…

I had a checkbox, and if i check it ON (value checkbox_on), and hit Update, the post meta gets saved with that field and value=”checkbox_on” aok. However, when I go back to edit that page again, the Checkbox itself was not showing up as CHECKED.

I was able to tweak a couple of lines in the “function field_type_render” of the more-fields-settings-object.php file, and fixed this issue. The things I changed were :

Line 363, changed from

$value = (strstr($value_raw, '*') && ($html_selected)) ? substr($value_raw, 1) : $value_raw;

to

$value = (strpos($value_raw, '*')!==false && strlen($value_raw)>1 && ($html_selected)) ? substr($value_raw, 1) : $value_raw;

Line 381-382, changed from

else $html = str_replace('%selected%', '', $html);
if ($value_stored == 'checkbox_on') $html = str_replace('%selected%', $html_selected, $html);

to

else if ($value_stored == 'checkbox_on') $html = str_replace('%selected%', $html_selected, $html);
else $html = str_replace('%selected%', '', $html);

i am not 100% sure if this is the correct solution to the problem, but at least with this change, Checkboxes maintain their checked/unchecked value

i am not sure if this too has anything to do with it, but i also noticed that in the more-fields-field-types.php file, Line 81 , which is under the “CHECKBOX” area, has

$f['radio']['html_after'] = "%caption%";

f[‘radio’] rather than f[‘checkbox’] ?
