Maybe I'm just tired, but for some reason I'm not seeing an easy way to work with checkboxes in a template. What I'm looking for is to display the caption and use the value from CUSTOM:MyCheckboxField to determine whether a checkbox is checked or not. From what I can see the default INPUT Type-Checkbox is checked if there's any valued assigned to Checked.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. |

| Not sure I understand the problem, your [CUSTOM:CheckBoxField] is not displaying correctly? |

| It displays True or False. What I want is a checkbox control that is checked or not checked. |

You should be able to use the EXPRESSION token to do this.
[EXPRESSION:CustomFieldID:=:True]checked[/EXPRESSION:CustomFieldID:=:True]
A complete list of tokens can be found in the template guide. |

Hey,
I use multicheckbox. When i use the expression you suggest, it doesn't work.
I have two possibilities:
1. Loop through the multicheckbox and show every item in a list (ul/li)
2. Show every element with a checkbox before it (checked/unchecked)
Thanks for helping me. |

When you say it doesn't work, can you explain further? The above expression is to optionally check a checkbox in the template.
Did you substitute CustomFieldID for the name of your custom field? |

The name for my multicheckbox is 'Options'
so i change the expression to:
[EXPRESSION:Options:=:True]checked[/EXPRESSION:Options:=:True]
are you sure this also works for multicheckbox.
I also want to know how i can loop the content of a multicheckbox. |

For multi-checkbox it will display the name of the field rather than true/false because multiple options can be selected.
If you use [CUSTOM:Options], you can see what is being displayed.
There is no real way to loop through content for the multicheckbox, but I could probably add a token for it |

I don't want to display the options like this:
option1, option 2, option 3 (Driver Air Bag, Passenger Air Bag, Child Seat)
but
* option 1
* option 2
* option 3
Do you think it's possible? |

| At the moment, the tokens allow you to only display the options comma separated, I can add an option in so you can format it into a unordered list. |

OK - I've recorded the item, keep an eye on the announcements forum for an update. |
