Feature request - Add select all / select none

[ghost]

Is it possible to have a way to select all check-boxes in an array? I have some arrays that are quite long with check boxes, and would be handy for the end user select all options in the array if they like.

If this is not currently possible, would you mind adding this to the feature request please tag. It is not something that I must have right now, only something that would be nice to have as an option.

Note, the only time I have seen anything similar was in a plugin for editing roles with permissions that had many checkbox fields.

Do you mean a separate checkbox that selects all the listed checkboxes?

Correct. I have this scenario on my options panel at the moment using the other framework I have previously mentioned in other threads. Hoping you have something similar for this framework. Reason for all these questions is I am thinking to switch frameworks for the next project and use APF.

Some admin pages I can have up to 50 checkboxes for the end user to select. So you can understand why I am looking for this option.

I see. Currently it is not possible with the built-in functionality. I'll add it to my todo list.

If you are familiar with jQuery scripts and can write one for such functionality, it is quite simple to add your jQuery scripts in a particular field. For example in the field definition array pass the script output in the after_field/before_field argument.

           array(
                'field_id'      => 'checkbox_field',
                'title'         => __( 'Checkboxes', 'your-text-domain' ),
                'type'          => 'checkbox',
                'label'         => array(
                    // generated array elements 
                ),
                'after_field'   => "<script>//Embed your script here</script>",
            ),

Now this is included in v3.3.0b. Download.

Set the button text in the select_none_button and select_all_button arguments. To use the system default text, just pass true.

    array( 
        'field_id'      => 'checkbox_repeatable_fields',
        'title'         => __( 'Repeatable', 'admin-page-framework-demo' ),
        'type'          => 'checkbox',
        'label'         => array( 'x', 'y', 'z' ),
        'repeatable'    =>    true,
        'select_all_button'     => __( 'Check All', 'admin-page-framework-demo' ),        // 3.3.0+   to change the label, set the label here
        'select_none_button'    => __( 'Uncheck All', 'admin=page-framework-demo' ),      // 3.3.0+   to change the label, set the label here                        
    ),

Michael, you are blazingly fast with these updates. Quite incredible. I think another beer is on the house for Friday afternoon.
