Hi,

First I defined channel field name=gbcb_focus_areas, type is checkbox.

{exp:safecracker channel="gbcb_member_profiles" url_title="{username}” logged_out_member_id=”{member_id}” preserve_checkboxes=“yes”}

1)
I can get checkbox value when I use the field tag (below code), but the checkbox layout can not be controlled. Checkbox is displayed horizontal. Can I display the checkbox items in vertical?

{field:gbcb_focus_areas}<br>

2)checked checkbox value is not saved in the control panel (below code). Thanks for any suggestion.

{custom_fields}
{if checkbox}
{options}
  <label class=“checkbox”>{option_value}
    <input type=“checkbox” id=”{gbcb_focus_areas}” name=”{gbcb_focus_areas}[]” value=”{option_value}”{checked}><br>
      </label>
  {/options}
{/if}
{/custom_fields}

Hello dliu,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this snag with check boxes.

There is some flexibility with the markup and layout with check boxes.

If using a field with options, such as Checkboxes or Dropdown, you can display the options in a loop, to give you more control over the markup. You have the four following sub-variables: {option_value}, {option_name}, {selected} and {checked}. (From User Guide)

Your code looks right for the checkboxes.

Can you include a screen shot of the channel field “gbcb_focus_areas” in the Control Panel. I would like to see the settings.

Looking forward to your response.

Cheers!

Hi Shane,

Attached is a screen shot of the channel field “gbcb_focus_areas” in the Control Panel.

Hi Shane,

I found that source code of the page contains “{" and "}” for the id and name.

It works after I remove them.

Cheers!

Hello dliu,

I am glad to hear it. Sounds like those were your own variables and not a part of SafeCracker. I was about to ask you for the contents of the entire template. 😊

I am glad it is working.

Thank you for using the ExpressionEngine forums!

Cheers,
