[SOLVED] Checkbox TV - selected values disappeared when document is read back in

I am using a checkbox TV to output some HTML based on the selection, but encountered a problem with that.

When I select the desired checkboxes and then save the resource, everything is being processed like it should. But when I revisit the resource, none of the checkboxes are selected anymore, thus emptying the TV again on save.

The checkbox input option values I used:

Preventie==<a class="preventie"></a>||Gewicht==<a class="gewicht"></a>||Darmen==<a class="darmen"></a>||Hart==<a class="hart"></a>||Hersenen==<a class="hersenen"></a>||Energie==<a class="energie"></a>

I just found out that it's the "" things causing the problem.. When using the default

option==1

method, the selected checkboxes are remembered. Does anyone know if it's possible to somehow make it work this way, or do I have to load the HTML in a different manner? [ed. note: suikerzout last edited this post 12 years, 2 months ago.]

Hi suikerzout,
You should not include HTML there, that should happen in a Template or Chunk.
Try this:

Preventie==preventie||Gewicht==gewicht||Energie==energie

User the Delimiter Output type of the TV, for example with a comma.
Create a snippet createLinks:

<?php
$values = explode(',',$input);
$output = '';
foreach($values as $value){
  $output .= '<a class="'.$value.'"></a>';
}
return $output;

Then use this snippet as an output modifier:

[[*yourTVName:createLinks]]
