Checkbox group "widgets" on/off

edwinvermaas 21 Nov 2012 18:59 question, complete

I want to create a sidebar and allow them to on/off widgets with a checkbox group.
So far i have the code below which works well, but it isn't this flexible with the option names.

Does anybody has a idea how to make this more flexible or just to make the code nicer?

 
 {exp:low_variables:options var="lv_sidebar"} 
  {if lv_sidebar:data == "Programma" AND active == "y"} 
   {embed="widgets/program"} 
  {/if} 

  {if lv_sidebar:data == "Nieuws" AND active == "y"} 
   {embed="widgets/nieuws"} 
  {/if} 

  {if lv_sidebar:data == "Nieuwsbrief" AND active == "y"} 
   {embed="widgets/nieuwsbrief"} 
  {/if} 

  {if lv_sidebar:data == "Agenda" AND active == "y"} 
   {embed="widgets/agenda"} 
  {/if} 

  {if lv_sidebar:data == "Pupil van de Week" AND active == "y"} 
   {embed="widgets/pupil"} 
  {/if} 
 {/exp:low_variables:options}

   You could try a setup with Matrix, perhaps.

   With matrix it works very well, thanks for the tip. Next obstacle is to customize it for every page, so the user can decide which widget is on a specific page.
   More tips are welcome :D
   
   

    
    {exp:low_variables:pair var="sidebar_page_test"} 
     {if cell_2 == "Ja"} 
      {{cell_3}} 
     {/if} 
    {/exp:low_variables:pair} 
    

   
   
   Cell1 = Title
   Cell2 = Checkbox
   Cell3 = Embed code without {}
   
   This will look for now like this:
