Keeping checkboxes :checked

[jnsandrew]

Hi,

I'm having slight trouble getting my checkboxes to stay checked after submitting my form:

{exp:dynamo:form return="/{segment_1}" search_id="{segment_2}" dynamic_parameters="search:opp_tags"}
        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" name="search:opp_tags[]" value="course" {if search:opp_tags == "course"}checked="checked" {/if} />Course
        </label>

        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" name="search:opp_tags[]" value="exhibition" {if search:opp_tags == "exhibition"}checked="checked" {/if} />Exhibition
        </label>
{search:opp_tags}

The problem is with the IF statement. Using the code above, if I only check one box, it stays checked, but if I tick multiple, nothing stays checked.

I've also tried adding {if search:opp_tags[] == "exhibition} for example, including the [], that doesn't check anything - if i choose one or multiple checkboxes.

Can you try this:

{if {selected:search:opp_tags="course"}}{/if}

Nope, if I copy and paste what you typed i get:

Parse error: parse error in /Users/andrewjones/Sites/website/ee-admin/expressionengine/libraries/Functions.php(679) : eval()'d code on line 88

If I add quotes like this:

{if "{selected:search:opp_tags="course"}" }   {/if}

I get:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: User Warning
Message: Invalid EE Conditional Variable: {if "{selected:search:opp_tags="course"}
Filename: libraries/Functions.php
Line Number: 2749

Just the tag on its own has no errors, just shows the tag on the page (so it doesn't recognise it)

{selected:search:opp_tags}

I was afraid that might happen. You'll need to grab this version (https://github.com/rsanchez/dynamo/tree/develop) and then do this:

        <label>
            <input type="checkbox" name="search:opp_tags[]" value="course" {if {exp:dynamo:selected value="course" in="{search:opp_tags}"}}checked="checked" {/if} />Course
        </label>

Thanks Rob, I'll try this when I'm back at work on Monday. I'm already on the develop branch.

Awesome, that solves the problem! Thanks.
