I'd like to be able to have checkboxes on the Story submission and search pages instead of the ctrl key for selecting multiple options. i don't mind re-entering all the classifications if doing so would mean that it would automatically add a checkbox to each item I enter in. But first i need to find the answer of whether or not that is even possible. And if so, how to do it. i will be updating to 3.5.3 soon. i did find one topic on it, but it only showed it where it was done. it didn't say how to do it.

Thank you for any help,

You will need to modify storyform.php and search.php to change the HTML from a SELECT to multiple CHECKBOX fields.
Moving this thread to the MOD forum.
Sorry, I will run a diff on my forms and post the information when I can.

In the file: search.php
On or about line 301, change:
$select .= "<option value="".$class['class_id']."">".$class['class_name']."</option>";
to
$select .= "<input type="checkbox" name="class_".$type['classtype_id']."[]" id="class_".$type['classtype_id']."[]"value="".$class['class_id']."">".$class['class_name']."<br />";
On or about lines 304-307 change:
<div style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;"><label for="class_".$type['classtype_id']."">".$type['classtype_title']." "._INCLUDE.":</label><br />
<select name="class_".$type['classtype_id']."[]" id="class_".$type['classtype_id']."" style="width: 95%;" multiple size="5">$select</select></div>
<div style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;"><label for="exclass_".$type['classtype_id']."">".$type['classtype_title']." "._EXCLUDE.":</label><br />
<select name="exclass_".$type['classtype_id']."[]" id="exclass_".$type['classtype_id']."" style="width: 95%;" multiple size="5">$select</select></div>
to
<div style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;"><fieldset for="class_".$type['classtype_id'].""><legend>".$type['classtype_title']." "._INCLUDE.":</legend><br />
$select</fieldset></div>
<div style="float: left; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;"><fieldset for="exclass_".$type['classtype_id'].""><legend>".$type['classtype_title']." "._EXCLUDE.":</legend><br />
$select</fieldset></div>
That should give you the basic check boxes as seen in search2.php @ TGFiction.Net
The collapsing boxes were done using spy widget I included somewhere else -giggles- I will add that information once I sort it all out....
Now for the submission form.... Something isn't working right when I try to diff it, so let me wing it here....
In the file: includes/storyform.php
On or about lines 120-123, change:
$select .= "<option value="$class[class_id]"".(is_array($classes) && in_array($class['class_id'], $classes) ? " selected" : "").">$class[class_name]</option>";
}
$output .= "<div style="float: ".($count % 2 ? "right" : "left")."; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;"><label for="class_".$type['classtype_id']."">$type[classtype_title]:</label><br />
<select name="class_".$type['classtype_id']."[]" id="class_".$type['classtype_id']."" style="width: 99%;" multiple size="5">$select</select></div>";
to
$select .= "<input type="checkbox" value="$class[class_id]"".(is_array($classes) && in_array($class['class_id'], $classes) ? " checked" : "")." name="class_".$type['classtype_id']."[]" id="class_".$type['classtype_id']."">$class[class_name]<br />";
}
$output .= "<div style="float: ".($count % 2 ? "right" : "left")."; width: 49%; margin-bottom: 1em;">
<fieldset for="class_".$type['classtype_id'].""><legend>".$type['classtype_title'].":</legend><br />
$select</FIELDSET></div>";
And I think that's about it...
Let me know if you need more.

Hello! This worked beautifully, for everything except Characters and Categories. Any ideas?
I don't use the Charecters bit on my site, so I didn't bother, and because of the way the categories works I didn't really do it. But when I get a moment I will look into it for you and post the code results. Been busy with the ePubVersion module lately.

no worries. <3 thanks so much!! I really really love the way the other checkboxes turned out! so much easier for the members.
was there any luck with this? 🙂
I've not forgotten about this, but I've been spending a lot of time working on my ePub module.The module is nearly Feature complete, so with luck I will be able to work on this again soon!

I've done some basic looking into this, and not yet figured it out. I will continue to pick at it here and there and see if I can figure it out for the "categories" selection but I think the sub-categories stuff is going to be an issue.

Piper - I would just be thrilled to have checkboxes for the characters. 🙂
