im kind of unclear on the $_actions available for the jmCheckBox function.
http://www.jamroom.net/Function_jmCheckBox

is it possible to have
X option 1
X option 2 ___ additional text input 1 _____ additional text input 2

i have tried a few things to get it going like this

Code

$_actions = array('this is one', 'this is two');    jmCheckBox('Type','type','option 1',false,$_actions);

but this produces 2 buttons, each with the letter 'T' on it. I want to produce another check box and 2 text input fields.

I thought that you could use the jrFormElementCell function to make a checkbox group:
http://www.jamroom.net/Function_jrFormElementCell

Although it isn't in the docs you can pass in a name for the group, but I can't find how to make a label for each checkbox.

Code

$_chk[0]['name']  = 'aaa'; $_chk[0]['type']  = 'checkbox'; $_chk[0]['value'] = 'choice1'; $_chk[1]['type']  = 'checkbox'; $_chk[1]['name']  = 'aaa'; $_chk[1]['value'] = 'choice2'; jrFormElementCell('My Checkbox Group Title',$_chk);

But unless I am missing something (usually the case) it isn't of any use, as that just outputs class="checkbox" twice on each checkbox, no value and no label;

Code

<tr>     <td width="30%" class="left">       My Checkbox Group Title           </td>     <td width="70%" class="right" nowrap="nowrap">                                                   <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox"  name="aaa" class="checkbox">                                                         <input type="checkbox" class="checkbox"  name="aaa" class="checkbox">               </td>   </tr>

No, don't try it! I was just posting it here to save you trying it which I thought you might as the docs seem to say that you can create a checkbox group with it! Sorry if you did.

The best way that I can see for now is to use jmLinkCell:
http://www.jamroom.net/Function_jmLinkCell

Code

$group = '<input type="checkbox" name="color" value="red"> Red<br> <input type="checkbox" name="color" value="yellow"> Yellow<br> <input type="checkbox" name="color" value="blue"> Blue<br> <input type="checkbox" name="color" value="orange"> Orange<br> <input type="checkbox" name="color" value="green"> Green<br> <input type="checkbox" name="color" value="purple"> Purple<br> ';  jmLinkCell("checkbox group title", $group);

nope, despite your best advice i tried it. I tried it, im hooked now and its your fault.

I did get it figured out though.

this worked.

Code

$_btn[1]['type']  = 'checkbox';     $_btn[1]['name']  = 'choice1';     $_btn[2]['type']  = 'text';     $_btn[2]['value'] = 'Choise One,<br>';        $_btn[3]['type']  = 'checkbox';     $_btn[3]['name']  = 'choice2';     $_btn[4]['type']  = 'text';     $_btn[4]['value'] = 'Choice Two ';          $_btn[5]['type']  = 'input';     $_btn[5]['name']  = 'input_box_name1';           $_btn[6]['type']  = 'text';     $_btn[6]['value']  = ' some text here';     $_btn[7]['type']  = 'input';     $_btn[7]['name']  = 'input_box_name2';            $_btn[8]['type']  = 'text';     $_btn[8]['value']  = ' more text here. ';               jrFormElementCell('The Cell Title',$_btn);

Thanks mate!!

Interesting way to use that, but I still see the class="thing" appearing twice for each checkbox, I'm not sure why that would be.

Sorry to hear that you are hooked, but I can't take the blame for that. I have a Jamroom Form Functions habit myself, it's been on my back since my first taste of a jmYesNo. And they said that Smarty didn't lead on to stronger things

stevex:

im not getting the duplicates. It all looks good.

could it be because you have both a name and a value for a single element.

when i use the type as 'text' then it gets a value, but not a name. and when the type is 'checkbox' it gets a name but not a value.

Code

$_btn[1]['type']  = 'checkbox';     $_btn[1]['name']  = 'choice1';     $_btn[2]['type']  = 'text';     $_btn[2]['value'] = 'Choice One,<br>';

seams to work.
