Checkbox Value? was created by mlilge

Hi,

What value do I have to use for a ticked checkbox, please?

I thought it would be a simple '1' but it doesn't work in my case:

cb_traktor04;1;Traktor 04;true

I'm using Joomla 2.5.9, CB 1.9 and AutoGroup 1.6.

Looking forward to your suggestions!
Manfred

Hi Manfred,
checkboxes fields return _UE_YES and _UE_NO as value. So, for an english language site:

cb_traktor04;Yes;Traktor 04;true

Please, advise.

Thanks Luigi,

That's it!

Maybe you could add this hint to your documentation (if it isn't yet) to help other people that may have the same issue as checkboxes are different in that respect. It's maybe also worth to mention that the language of the backend is significant not the one of the frontend.

I love your plug-in now!

Just noticed that both languages, frontend and backend, are important if different. Otherwise the plug-in works only for either of both.

In my case the correct setting is

cb_traktor04;Yes,Ja;Traktor 04;true

Weird implementation for a checkbox. Think that the default setting can be 0 or 1 and is the same for the result.

Anyway it's working now :-)

Hi Manfred,
I just sent you a preview of 1.7 version that fixes the registration issue. This is not the final cause I want to change the way Auto Group manage checkboxes.

This behaviour was added in the 1.6 version, when we add support for multi-values fields. We started to use CB API to get field values, and this is the way it manages checkboxes.

But in our opinion this can cause issues on multi-language sites, you find a clever way to manage this, but what if you have 10 languages? We don't like, so we want to get back and consider 1 or 0 as checkbox values. The final 1.7 version will do this. So, remember that if you will install the final 1.7 you must change the rule again, to replace Yes,Ja with 1.

Kind regards,
Luigi

Hi Luigi,

v1.7 does not work for me :-(

Using '1' is not working at all. If I keep my previous 'True,Ja' combination only changes via the frontend (German language) updates the group assignment as well. Backend changes (English language) do not affect group settings at all.

I should fall back to v1.6...
