Check selected categories

[katrinkerber]

I can't quite see how I can check selected categories once the form has been submitted.

My form code:

{exp:dynamo:form return="{homepage}/{segment_1}/filtered/" search_id="{segment_3}"}
  {exp:gwcode_categories cat_id="{segment_1_category_id}" output_depth="3" style="linear" entry_count="yes"}
      <label for="{cat_name}" class="checkboxlabel">
        <input type="checkbox" name="category[]" id="{cat_name}" value="{cat_id}" {if category == {cat_id}} selected="selected"{/if}>
        {cat_name} ({entry_count})
      </label>
    {if cat_count == results_total}
      <input type="submit" value="Apply filters" class="btn classy">
    {/if}
  {/exp:gwcode_categories}
{/exp:dynamo:form}

What do I need to put in the IF conditional to check the selected categories?

This is possible using the [develop]() branch.

{exp:dynamo:form return="{homepage}/{segment_1}/filtered/" search_id="{segment_3}" dynamic_parameters="category"}
  {exp:gwcode_categories cat_id="{segment_1_category_id}" output_depth="3" style="linear" entry_count="yes"}
      <label for="{cat_name}" class="checkboxlabel">
        <input type="checkbox" name="category[]" id="{cat_name}" value="{cat_id}" {if {exp:dynamo:selected value="{cat_id}" in="{category}"}} selected="selected"{/if}>
        {cat_name} ({entry_count})
      </label>
    {if cat_count == results_total}
      <input type="submit" value="Apply filters" class="btn classy">
    {/if}
  {/exp:gwcode_categories}
{/exp:dynamo:form}

For some reason

{exp:dynamo:selected value="{cat_id}" in="{category}"}

always returns "0".

When I try:

{if "{cat_id}" == "{category}"} checked {/if}

then that works great if only one value has been selected. Of course, that doesn't work when two have been selected.

Any ideas?

Try adding parse="inward" to the gwcode_categories tag.

That worked. Thank you very much.
