[MOD] Search Forms w/ CheckBoxes and Collapsing Groupings (Idea)

Very much interested. It must not a problem to share it with the community.

Great work, looks amazing and I would be very happy to adopt this with my site.

Yes. This is extremely interesting. I would love to be able to use this on my site. Did you ever post the information?

I posted this to another thread, but thought I should post this here also... Below you will find the basic steps needed to move from multiple select boxes, to check boxes on your advances search and story submission forms....

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.

This code worked great except there are still boxes above the checklists, is there a way to get rid of them?
