Checkbox Select Multiple Values

Anonymous

#55027

Hi,

I have a search form on my site which searches a selection of ACF fields. On the search form I’d like to display all values of a specific field (“Seasons”) as checkbox options. I can do this fine however I’d like to have an additional checkbox option that selects all values (as you have with a select box). For example my field is called “Seasons” so I’d like the checkboxes set out like this:

All
Spring
Summer
Autumn
Winter

I hope this makes sense?! Is this even possible to do?

Thanks,

James

Can I see the search form as you have it now, on a live URL?

Season is spelled wrong. (Seaon)

Ah, I think I see. You have manually made the options? And for one you put a comma delimited list? But our plugin does not see it as a list, but a single value. However, I think you can cheat!!

The ANY checkbox has this value:

Spring,Summer,Autumn,Winter

Try making it this:

Spring-,-Summer-,-Autumn-,-Winter

My guess is that it will tick all four seasons.

Can I mark this as resolved and close the thread?

Sorry just one more thing! I’m trying to do the same thing to the 2nd set of check boxes but this time the code doesn’t appear to be working? Is there a limit on the number of check boxes you can apply that to?

This is the code I’m adding to the value field for “Any”:

Flowers-,-Foliage-,-Berries

Thanks,

James

The data operator in the form field needs to be OR, but for this field you have it set to AND (the other field you had it correctly set to OR).
