I configured my checkbox field like <a href="http://grab.by/c9no" rel="nofollow">this</a> and entered this <a href="http://pastebin.com/CTnmhqPZ" rel="nofollow">code</a><br /> and neither <a href="http://grab.by/c9nK" rel="nofollow">box</a> is checked. Whats going wrong? If I return 1, I get <a href="http://grab.by/c9nM" rel="nofollow">both checked</a>. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes-1#post-50835 Tue, 28 Feb 2012 13:15:34 +0000 David Smith 50835@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi mmoriart,</p> <p>Assuming you have your field setup like so <a href="http://grab.by/c8W8" rel="nofollow">this</a>, you can populate it using <a href="http://pastie.org/3481456" rel="nofollow">this code</a> and it'll look like <a href="http://grab.by/c8We" rel="nofollow">this</a> when you load the form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes-1#post-50775 Mon, 27 Feb 2012 23:04:07 +0000 mmoriart 50775@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I'm a little confused. I'm trying to specify which checkboxes should be selected by default based on a true/false condition. It is not clear to me how to achieve this from the example code in the link above. </p> <p>Could someone provide a simple example showing how to check either box in a 2 option checkbox field.</p> <p>The filter:<br /> <code>add_filter(&#39;gform_field_value_checkboxes&#39;, create_function(&quot;&quot;, &quot;return 1;&quot;));</code><br /> Seems to check all boxes in the field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes-1#post-48060 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 18:31:23 +0000 David Smith 48060@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Travis,</p> <p>The first approach would allow you to prepopulate the actual checkboxes available. The second approach would allow you to specify which checkboxes should be selected by default. When using the latter, you'll want to return a comma delimited list of options which should be selected. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dynamically-populate-checkboxes-1#post-43865 Mon, 12 Dec 2011 23:13:05 +0000 Travis 43865@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is this (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamic-checkboxes" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/dynamic-checkboxes</a>) still the best method for populating checkboxes? Or should we be using the gform_field_value_parameter_name hook? If so what sort of value should be returned for checkboxes (assuming array of arrays?)? </p>
