Set checkbox value to something::value

    Hi there,

    I’m trying to create a checkbox for an “I agree to the terms…” kind of thing at the bottom of a signup. I know I can use the help text for this, but it looks a bit awkward to have the checkbox all alone on a line.

    It seems the plugin gets a bit confused if I try to use the someFriendlyText::machinevalue format, even if only given one. Nothing gets set in the value attribute in the HTML element so when the page loads it’s always checked, but then fails validation upon submit.

    Hoping for a workaround.

    Thanks for your help,

    -Luis

    Hi Luis,

    It looks like you found a bug. You can’t use titles with the checkbox until I issue a bug fix. I don’t know what your display issues are, but you can probably get the help text to show up next to the checkbox…It just does that in my tests, but different themes will affect the display in their own way. You may need to set both the checkbox and the help text to an inline display type in order to get them all on one line.

    Thanks for being super-responsive! I greatly appreciate it.

    For those of you following at home, this bit of css will brought the help text up next to the checkbox for me:

    /* participants database: put help text next to checkbox */
.pdb-signup .checkbox .helptext {
  display: inline;
}
