Divide checkbox list into 2 columns?

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

You just have to ensure the name/value of the fields is appropriate.

For example, if the key is my_field and values are:

Code:

Option 1 Option 2 Option 3

---

All checkboxes should have a name of xthreads_my_field[] and values as shown above, such as

HTML Code

<input type="checkbox" name="xthreads_my_field[]" value="Option 1" /> <input type="checkbox" name="xthreads_my_field[]" value="Option 2" /> <input type="checkbox" name="xthreads_my_field[]" value="Option 3" />

I just noticed an issue though: it won't show whether they're checked or not. :/


If you don't mind code edits and want to change the underlying HTML, it's in inc/xthreads/xt_updatehooks.php:

PHP Code:

if(xthreads_empty($val) && $tf['editable'] != XTHREADS_EDITABLE_REQ) $tfinput[$k] .= '<label style="display: block; font-style: italic;"><input'.$tfname.' type="'.$tftype.'" class="'.$tftype.'" value=""'.$checked.$tabindex.' />'.$lang->xthreads_val_blank.'</label>'; else $tfinput[$k] .= '<label style="display: block;"><input'.$tfname.' type="'.$tftype.'" class="'.$tftype.'" value="'.$val.'"'.$checked.$tabindex.' />'.unhtmlentities($val).'</label>';

First instance is just for the "blank value".  Note that it affects both checkboxes and optionbutton inputs.
I'll consider exporting this to a template in a future version.
