[SOLVED] How to add image to checkbox was created by memochipan
Hi, this is my first post.

I need a checkbox field with images. How can i do this?

The idea is that my users can pick an image that they like.:P

Thanks for help.

I used the image tag in the options, and the images are displayed, but no value is saved in the MySQL table.

Any suggestion.

Thanks.

Images are not supported for select fieldtypes. The values will be cleaned before store/display. You should create a new fieldtype plugin to handle this or use a drop-down select in combination of substitutions in a delimiter to display the images. I also recommend upgrading to CB 1.2.3, you posted in CB 1.2.2 boards.

Thanks krileon.

I tried to create a new fieldtype plugin but I don't understand all that I need to do that, and I didn't find documentation about the process other than analyze existing plugins.

I think that create a fieldtype plugin is a very good idea, because it can be reuse in other cases.

Could you help me a little bit in that process?

Could you explain me what are you talking about when you said:

or use a drop-down select in combination of substitutions in a delimiter to display the images.


Again, thanks a lot.

You could have a drop-down field with the following values. Lets call this field color so is stored as cb_color.

red
blue
green

Then using substitutions you could do the following in a delimiter field.

[code:1]
[cb:if cb_color!=""]<img src="/images/[cb_color].png" alt="[cb_color]" />[/cb:if]
[/code:1]

Then within the images folder you'd have the following images.

red.png
blue.png
green.png

This is just a minor example of what's possible. Please review tutorials within my signature for substitution usage information.
