    Is there a parameter ( or if ) for displaying weblog entries pending on a checkbox being ticked when the entry is entered?

    So I add a custom field ( Display on the home page ) and if it is ticked it will cycle through all the entries in the weblog and display only those with the ticked custom field.

    welog parameter for custom field is considered to be ‘search’ rather then standard parameter.
    But it does not allow for checkbox value.

    So the solution would be to ad a drop down of yes/no

    Any other solutions?

    Other than what you mentioned….Status parameter maybe?

    I am already using the status parameter to filter entries elsewhere and as you can only apply one status, it probably wouldn’t work.

    Thanks for the idea tho, I’ll try it and post the outcome here.

    Yeah I figured but the drop down toggle would work just keep in mind it will has a value by default since it is a dropdown.
    Lastly, perhaps pre-determined category?

    Other than that you would have to build entries by using a query tag…which is not too bad but you loose the EE native weblog tag and parameters.
