Is there a way to get the same checkbox schema to appear in the Stand Alone Entry Form for front-end users? Thank you!

I’ve used this (excellent!) extension on several sites but this new one is throwing an error when I enable it:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 111456 bytes) in /../ext.ez_category_checkboxes.php on line 286 

I’m using 1.1.5 and EE 1.6.8 but the site is running PHP 4 if that makes a difference. It’s kind of a drag but I can’t upgrade to 5.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ed

You don’t need to use this in a SAEF. Just use the weblog:categories tags and generate a LOT of checkboxes with fieldname[], so you can multiple select.

Just like any other form, only you’re populating it with all your category data.

Like so.

{exp:weblog:categories weblog="products" category_group="4" style="nested" class="category_list"}
<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="{category_id}">{category_name}
{/exp:weblog:categories}
