Setting checked state in checkbox group field in a Low Search form
Hi Low,
Is it possible to set the 'checked/active state' of a checkbox in a checkbox group field in a Low Search form? For a standalone checkbox field, I've been using this code:
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times_sun" value="not IS_EMPTY"{if low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times_sun == "not IS_EMPTY"} checked="checked"{/if} /> Sunday</label>
But further to this post, I'm now using a checkbox group in the search form instead, and there are 4 checkboxes within this checkbox group field. I have tried using the same conditional as above to get the checked state, but it doesn't seem to be working.
My code is below, and I wondered if you've got any ideas where I'm going wrong here?
{exp:low_search:form collection="ls_event_search" search_mode="all" result_page="/directory/advanced-search" secure="no" query="{segment_3}"}
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times[]" value="Thursday"{if low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times == "Thursday"} checked="checked"{/if} /> Thursday</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times[]" value="Friday"{if low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times == "Friday"} checked="checked"{/if} /> Friday</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times[]" value="Saturday"{if low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times == "Saturday"} checked="checked"{/if} /> Saturday</label>
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times[]" value="Sunday"{if low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times == "Sunday"} checked="checked"{/if} /> Sunday</label>
<input name="require_all" type="hidden" value="">
<p><input type="submit" value="Search" class="button" />
{/exp:low_search:form}
I've also tried using a conditional in this format:
<label><input type="checkbox" name="search:cf_event_opening_times_search[]" value="Sunday"{if Sunday IN ({low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times_search[]})} checked="checked"{/if} /> Sunday</label>
But I found that this format gave a selected state at all times, whether the checkbox was checked or not.
When I check each of the 4 days, the following variable ({low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times_search}) outputs: Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday.
Thanks,
Stephen

Use something like this:
{if "Sunday" IN ({low_search_search:cf_event_opening_times_search})}Stephen 1 Jul 2013 13:53
Thanks Low, that did the trick! :-)
