Deciphering "Field Options" Can't Post

Hi guys,

I am in Admin > Database Editor > Field Editor ... Field Type: checkbox

Can you explain the various options under the section named "Field Options"?

i.e.
  • Default State
  • Checked value
  • Unchecked value
  • Custom Field HTML


Thanks

Terry

Hi Terry,

The checkbox field options basically just tell Article Manager what you want the checkboxes to do.

The Default State is basically "on or off" -- ie, when you create a new article, is that checkbox already checked for you? If you want an option that is usually on, but occasionally off, switch that to "Checked".

The Checked & Unchecked value are what is actually being saved -- what "On" and "Off" means. By default, it's Yes & No. You can change this if you want checked to mean, say, "Bananas" and unchecked to mean "Oranges".

The custom HTML is a bit more advanced -- most people won't use this. It's basically if you want to include additional HTML on the add & edit pages, for further formatting -- you could use this to add additional documentation, if you wanted to change the look of the fields, etc.

I hope this helps. :)

Donna
