The standard EE controls for check boxes and categories isn’t the ideal fit. The preference is to render them in a list and then we can display in columns.
In any case…
I can display all the cats on the entry form. That was simple enough. However, the edit form will only display the cats that have been checked. Yes, I can get the raw cat list and display that.
My question is…
Is there a trick to merging the checked cats with the raw whole list of cats. I can come up with a couple hacks off the top of my head. I’m sure it’s doable. I’m just wondering if someone has already done this as how. If you have a how please share the code, or at least some good pseudo code.
Thanks -
