how do I output a checkbox TV into a UL LI list format

Hi

I have a checkbox which shows the facilities of a property, but im not too sure how to output each checkbox that is selected against the document.

TV is called Facilities
my Input option values are:



all I would like to do is to output the selected checkboxes into a list and display them.

What kind of output options did you set for the TV?

By the way, if you want the labels when editing the resource's TV to be the same as the output in the page on the front-end, don't use the == part. Just

will do both the same.

Hi

Ive left the output as Default. Should I change this to something else?

Rooms with En Suite||Heated Indoor Swimming Pool||Sauna||Exercise Studio||Treatment Room||Outdoor Swimming Pool

will do both the same.

ive used keys on purpose as I assumed that using 0== 1== would give me an array to work with?

ok ive changed the output to delimiter and used comma in the box. when I output the tv it now displays the id's in a cvs format.

i guess I could now create a snippet and using php reference the TV as a php variable, then use php explode() on the variable. this may work

another problem ive found is that the starting checkbox in the TV 'facilities' is not outputted even when selected within the document. php arrays start as 0, does checkboxin modx key need to start as 1?

If you use an HTML element output type, with the HTML tag as "li", then it will output a list (you'll have to supply the enclosing UL tags around the TV tags).

Or if you use a delimiter output type, specifying a comma, you'll get a comma-delimited list.

All the key-value method does is provide a different label for the checkboxes, while their values will be the second part. It just depends on what you want to do with the TV's content.

Here's what's saved in the database with just the values, no key-value:

And here's what's saved in the database with key->value input options:

So only the values are saves as a string using || as the default delimiter. The output options break down the string and process it according to the option chosen. Notice the one with the value of 0 isn't saved at all. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 10 years, 9 months ago.]

Hi Thanks again

Ok Ive changed the input option as per your above recommendation, and also changed the output option to HTML Tag. This time is now produces a list, but still only outputs the keys and not the values. How can I output the values of each checkbox?
