Aside from installing better 3rd party alternatives to EE’s native check boxes, how do you use them on a basic level? I couldn’t find anything in the docs. I tried the following but it doesn’t work. foo_check being the name of the checkbox field and “Show” being an option.

{if foo_check == "Show"}{embed="includes/foo_form"}{/if}

Checkbox Fields

Checkbox fields are special in that they can be used as a single tag and as a tag pair.

{foo_check}

{foo_check}
{item}

{/foo_check}

EE Docs : Channel Entries - Custom Fields

The following might work for you

{foo_check}
{if item == "Show"}{embed="includes/foo_form"}{/if} 
{/foo_check}

Tx for the info. I could not find that page for some reason!

Glad John was able to help. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
