    • Checkbox in Tracker question

    Posted by PerryM posts: 15 United States

    I can't figure out how to make a "Radio" selection into a "Checkbox" selection - I'd appreciate any help.

    E.g.
    Type of cars owned []Chevy []Ford [] VW


    The "Wish list" in the tracker section has exactly what I want but I can't figure it out.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the input - did that weeks ago and that's why I'm asking for help - the Checkbox feature does not work (at least I can't duplicate the Bug Tracker fields that have hundreds of checkboxs as choices.

    Right now Checkbox seems to only work with a binary answer of 0 or 1 (checked) for ONE choice.

    I've tried EVERY combination I can think of:
    1) EACH choice is a separate field with a type of "Checkbox"
    2) I put "1" into the line below the Checkbox type
    3) I've tried a hundred different combinations of checking various boxes of all the other items (like "Column is searchable?")

    Yet every field is listed Vertically instead of Horizontally.

    So to recap, here are the fields I've entered:
    ID 1, MemberID, Type User Selecter, options "1"
    ID 2, Cars now owned, Checkbox, Option "1"
    ID 3, Ford, Checkbox, Option "1"
    ID 4, Chevy, Checkbox, Option "1"
    ID 5, VW, Checkbox, Option "1" (" " are not actually in the field)

    When input is selected I see:

    Status: "Open"
    MemberID*: "My user name"
    Cars now owned: []
    Ford: []
    Chevy: []
    VW: []


    Of course what I want is:

    Status: "Open"
    MemberID*: "My user name"
    Cars now owned: []Ford [] Chevy [] VW []

    Like I said, TikiWiki seems to using a variation of the "Radio" field for their version of Checkbox.

    I can't make the above look like the various Checkbox fields in the TikiWiki Bug Tracker with the current v 1.10 Tarball of just a week ago.

    Anyone have any ideas?
