Details

This plugin provides a new custom field type to Movable Type Pro users. This new field type, called a "multi-checkbox" allows one to have multiple checkbox as opposed to a single checkbox. A new template tag will also be defined for these custom fields to determine whether or not a checkbox has been checked.

Usage

  1. Create a new Custom Field.

  2. Select "Checkbox (Multi)" as the field's type.

  3. In the Options text area that appears enter the value of each checkbox delimiting each value by a comma. E.g. "Blue,Yellow,Red".
