Dataselect equivelent for checkboxes
Hi,
I'm trying to find a way to reuse content entered on a set of pages from one directory (a title; where the Region names are exactly the same) and display them similar to a dataselect field type for the user to select from, the only problem is it needs to be a multi-choice selection.
So my questions are:
- Does dataselect allow selecting more than one option? And does it allow the page path to end in a wildcard?
- Is there a way to achieve this with checkboxes? And if so could you explain how I might achieve that?
- And if none of the above apply, is there any other way you can think of to achieve something similar?
Thanks, Phil
No, one option only.
The dataselect field is a select field, it doesn't have a checkbox option. You could write your own custom field type to do this.
You can do this with relationships in Runway. Otherwise you'll need to write a custom field type.
Thanks Drew, I'll take a look at the custom field type.
I'm just watching this post for ideas.

Me too.
Si.
I've had a few goes at the custom field type but to no avail (I'm not very experienced with PHP yet) but from searching online I noticed you'd tried finding someone to do this for you, Simon:

A bit cheeky I know, but I'd just like to know if you had any luck with the field type? And if so, would you consider allowing me to have a copy of it? I'd pay for it of course!
Thanks, Phil
It'd be less expensive to upgrade to Runway, wouldn't it?
As I recall, I didn't get it successfully working.
