Thread: Checkbox option for custom fields

vienna sir, my hat is off to you. That is fantastic and I hope that David and team consider integrating this (or similar) into the official ClassiPress. Simply amazing!

Thanks everyone for your input, this feature request will be discussed with the development team.

Also, I'm noting another thread for the same request here (to add to the number of requests for this): http://appthemes.com/forum/showthrea...ple-selections

To update on the topic, I have now discussed this specifically with the development team and have submitted it into our internal ticketing system. From there I will be able to follow progress more closely in terms of whether it's going to happen, and if so, what release it could be earmarked for. I will update when I see some assigment of the ticket to a future release..

Checkboxes (choose many) AND Radio Buttons (choose 1) are both listed as features that will be available in CP 3.1 *the next release.

More advanced search options will also be available in CP 3.1.

Be carefull purchasing these "plugins" from people developing on versin 3.0.4 because everything changes in version 3.1 since we have already converted ClassiPress to use custom post types (yet another feature of version 3.1). I know for a fact the search plugin won't function because you have to tell wordpress which "post type" and "category type" you want to search through.

Hopefully I'll be allowed to show some "teaser" screenshots of 3.1 during the development process if david lets me.

Fantastic!

Allll riiiight! I, for one, am looking FORWARD to this!

I figured that the lessons you were learning from Jobroll would be "rolled" into ClassiPress. I would imagine also Custom Post types.

I saw while I was modding that Checkboxes and the various incarnations of Radio buttons are the same animal as far as storing in an array and wiping out that array if during the later editing process of an Ad the user decides to Un"tick" ALL of those options in either checkboxes or radio buttons.

Pues, a los señores trabajadores, por favor incluya botones de radio, así como casillas de verificación...

Both checkboxes and radio buttons, please.

And, please allow for the checkboxes and radio buttons, of course, to be specified as pre-selected or pre-checked by the Admin as a default that can be unselected or left alone by the user in the form.

That would be very cool.

If you want to use the images of what mine does, you may in the meantime.

On the Ad Display side you SHOULD HAVE A FILTER that distinguishes the Checkboxes and Radio buttons,
--that gives the Admin different ways to Display the output...I made my checkboxes display as unordered lists.

I also created Two Ad functions to be used on the Ad Display page.

One function ONLY loads and displays Non-checkbox Custom fields and formats them the same way as the existing fields function of ClassiPress.

The other, the Checkbox function, looks for every meta_key with a 'cp_checkbox.....' in its name and creates grabs the meta_values and explodes them.

There are also Editing functions so that the Ad user also has a way of completely wiping out that array if the user decides to uncheck all the boxes in a particular checkbox at some later time before re-saving the Ad.

But with a separate Checkbox display function I can split the Ad display into two parts and put the checkboxes below the images.

So, Seth, David, et al, are we having to wait a few months for 3.1 ?

Heh, I can't promise ALL that in one update, but I'll make sure a simple version of checkboxes and radio buttons is possible as I mentioned. As for 3.1, its "scheduled" for late September but may take a bit longer as testing the new features (and the old ones) with the new custom post types will likely take some additional time.

Wonderful !

You the man....

And how about the feature that automatically scours the internet and removes all references to Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian? How is that one going...any time estimate?

Aprox 4.2 Millenia.

Hi Guys & Girls. I'm a newbie here so please bear with me. I really needs this feature on my site so I have been corresponding with a few of the members of this community trying to find a solution for this. I can say here that I've been told that this is not high on the priority list for 3.1 and that in fact it will not be included in 3.1. Maybe in 3.2 somewhere in 2011. The reason is that its not a feature that sells. Well that a short sighted view to take aspecialy as only parted with my money about a week ago bassed on the Admin demo that states the following but does not allow you to create any new custom fields.

A new customer also don't have access to the main section of the forum where problems are discussed. I wonder why? So now I am Stuck with two options.

1) Pay $400 for development of this function that will only be available to me and that also mean that I will not be able to upgrade.
2) Pay $300 for the development of this function to be included into the CP core files and its available to the whole community. Why $300? Because the owner said that he will contribute $100 dollars to the development of this function that will compliment his software. Now the obvious choice is to go for option two, but I am not a Philanthropist yet.

Is there some of you that will be willing to clubb together so that we can pay the developers of this sofware to actualy produce this function for all? 300 / 10 = 30 wich is affordable even though I have a morral issue with paying the developer to enhance his own product but without it its useless to me.


Let me say this that this is the best classifieds software outhere and hats off to you, but by far not the best support or customers service. Respecfully annoyed.

Looking forward to checkboxes in 3.1 in hopefully late Sept.

Thanks Pepsi, David and Seth for getting this on the list
