Checkbox Issue on postbit legacy

[GameVB]

Okay so basically I have it set like this and when I select the fields of 2 items in checkbox:

Football
Soccer

It shows up as numbers

<!-- Sports -->
<vb:if condition="$post['field8']">
<dt>sports</dt> <dd>{vb:raw post.field8}</dd>
</vb:if>
<!-- Sports -->

Am I doing something wrong?

When you have a multiple selection field (like checkboxes), the value is stored as a number where each bit represents one of the options. So unfortunately that makes it a little more complicated to display. You need to do something like:

<!-- Sports -->
<vb:if condition="$post['field8']">
<dt>sports</dt>
<vb:if condition="$post['field8'] & 1"><dd>Football</dd></vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$post['field8'] & 2"><dd>Soccer</dd></vb:if>
</vb:if>
<!-- Sports -->

Each value is 2 times the previous value, so if you have more than 2 choices the next values would be 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, etc.

It works but now it displays all of them.

How do I fix that?

It shouldn't display them all. What exactly did you put in the template?

Try temporarily putting $post[field8] somewhere in the template to see what the value is.

</vb:if>
<!-- Sports -->
