Product ACP Checkbox?

[Coders Shack]

Is is possible to add checkbox options in the ACP for products?

Sure, go in debug mode and examine one of the built-in options that uses checkboxes.

hmm

		<settinggroup name="bbcode" displayorder="300">
			<setting varname="allowedbbcodes" displayorder="10">
				<datatype>bitfield</datatype>
				<optioncode>bitfield:nocache|allowedbbcodes</optioncode>
				<defaultvalue>1023</defaultvalue>
			</setting>
		</settinggroup>

is an example of a checkbox optioncode if put in a install product and its using the bit field option (bitfiled_vbulletin.xml)

			<group name="allowedbbcodes">
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_basic">1</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_color">2</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_size">4</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_font">8</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_align">16</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_list">32</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_link">64</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_code">128</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_php">256</bitfield>
				<bitfield name="allow_bbcode_html">512</bitfield>
			</group>

Examine the Inferno vBshout mod, it uses them.

No problem. I've never had to use them, so I can't offer any direct help, but hopefully you can figure something out from the examples.

Ok so i was able to do it... Wow its easier than i though but still confusing how the actual check boxes are processed.

Values:
1
2
4
8
16
32
64
....

I used 19 boxes and it sure multiplies fast... the 20th box's value would be 524288 lol... around 35 the actual value length is over 11 digits and i think it may messup inside the database, im not sure.

How is the bitfield represented in vB's php code? If it's an int it should be 32 bits on most hardware, giving you a max value of about 2 billion. There shouldn't be any problems in the database, since setting values are stored as text.

oh i thought they were stored in an INT field, INT is 11
