Hi,

why don't you add space in the separator field?

Hi Klas,

thanks for your answer. That would be a way. 

Problem: I already have data stored (Custom in intro field). Its a big work to change it manually in the SQL table, afterwards i changed the space in the separator field.

Is there a other solution.

Thanks a lot

Hi redback,

My suggestion is to use a plugin " before render" in your content type / search type.

Let us assume that your checkbox field is called "my_checkbox". You have 2 different cases:

You can use the following code in the "before render" field:

Hi Mehdi, thanks a lot for your answer. I bought the "Code Pack (5 plug-ins)", but it has no effect. Here the setup:

Goal: Display checkbox field value, saved as "option1,option2,option3", like "option1, option2, option3" in content view.

Setup:

1. Install "Code Pack (5 plug-ins)"
2. Create a new field "gl_before_render_article_view" Type: BeforeRender and add it to mainbody in the Content Type
3. Add the Code to the text area of "gl_before_render_article_view" (gl_anlass = my_checkbox), Mode: Free
   
   $fields['gl_anlass']->value = str_replace(',', ', ', $fields['gl_anlass']->value );

Tried as well to manipulate field output "gl_anlass" in other way, but is has no effect.

I m thankful for ideas

Hi redback,

Can you set in your "before render" field this code to check the configuration of your checkbox field?

Hallo Mehdi,

i getting this output:

Thanks

A Q&D (quick&dirty) approach would be to do a phpMyAdmin SQL query such as

UPDATE `abcde_content` SET `gl_anlass` = replace(gl_anlass, ',', ', ') WHERE 1

Hi webcastor, thanks very much for the Q&D Lösung. Field is storage is custom (value is with other fields in the intro text column), therefore isn`t that easy. Best

Hi,

In this case, try the code below:

Hi Mehdi,

thanks a lot for your effort putting the code up. I tried, but i didn't get it work. Maybe i did some false settings.

Anyway the solutions from _jrmo worked for me.

Thank for your help, redback

Hi redback,

Another approach is to use this field (free) in your content or item view (whichever view you are using to display your output) - http://www.seblod.com/products/673

• Install this typo plugin, and then on your checkbox field, select PHP String from the typo dropdown options.
• Click the "+"
• Choose the str_replace option
• Enter a "," as the string you are searching for, and a ", " as the string you want to replace it with.
• That will add a space after your commas in the output of your checkbox.

Thanks,

SOLUTION

Hello _jrmo,

thanks for your other approach and putting up the tutorial. This solution worked for me and is a easy way to manipulate the output of the checkbox field (String).

Thanks a lot and everybody else who helped on this topic.

Redback

test getValue('what_kind_of_support');?>

looks like i cant get the checkbox value printed. is there way I can get the checkbox value as i can set the seperator from the checkbox field configuration

Hi Redback,

Can you please let me know how you manage to print the values of the checkbox.

Thank you

if the checkbox is not empty
(
for(i=0;i<checked count;i++)
{
echo field_name[i])-> getValue;
}
)

This is how i think it should work. Im not an expert
