[SOLVED] Form Builder default value for checkbox?

[Wishbone]

I just discovered the value_FIELDNAME='default value' for Form Builder. This seems to work for text entry, textarea, and radio button, but I can't seem to get it to work for checkbox... I tried '1', 'checked' and 'true' for the default value, but it's not working.

I know that I can set it inside the form, but I want it to be dynamic, based on the current smarty variables.

Any ideas?

It's just a suggestion as I didn't have time test it: why not true or 1 (without the quotes or double quotes)?

[Wishbone]

Yep.. I tried y, yes, checked, true, 1

I was able to do it with a jQuery hack, but it's a bit hokey.

[Jo Morg]

Yep.. I tried y, yes, checked, true, 1

Yep I was pretty sure you had tried... . But, as I often tend to forget the obvious, myself....

[Wishbone]

I can usually look at the code and solve most issues whether it be module or core, but I couldn't figure out this one.

I'll look at it again. If it just wasn't implemented for checkbox, I'll see how it's done with RadioButton, make a fix, then submit the code in a feature request.

Would you mind trying 't' as value:

Code: Select all

value_FIELDNAME='t'

It's a wild guess after looking at the code.

Edit: checked it on a site en seems to work.

[Wishbone]

Yes! It does work. I saw the 't' in the code, but foolishly ignored it because it always says 'value="t"' in the resulting checkbox, regardless of the "Value when checked/unchecked" in the form. Makes sense now

Thanks!

It definitely should be documenten.
