How can i change the thread subscription options to text links or input fields ?

[ishare]

Hi,
I am trying to customize the newthread page and i would like to use text links or input fields for each option of the thread subscription. Since the current/default one is in dropdown box, i am not sure if that is possible or not...

Default :

<if condition="$show['member']">
<fieldset class="fieldset">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="$stylevar[formspacer]" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>$vbphrase[notification_type]:<br />
<select name="emailupdate" tabindex="1">
<option value="9999" $emailchecked[9999]>$vbphrase[do_not_subscribe]</option>
<option value="0" $emailchecked[0]>$vbphrase[no_email_notification]</option>
<option value="1" $emailchecked[1]>$vbphrase[instant_email_notification]</option>
<option value="2" $emailchecked[2]>$vbphrase[daily_email_notification]</option>
<option value="3" $emailchecked[3]>$vbphrase[weekly_email_notification]</option>
</select>
</td>
<if condition="$show['subscribefolders']">
<td>$vbphrase[folder]:<br />
<select name="folderid" tabindex="1">$folderbits</select>
</td>
</if>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>
</if>

Is that possible to do something like below ?

<input type="checkbox" name="emailupdate" value="0" tabindex="1" $emailchecked[0] />
<input type="checkbox" name="emailupdate" value="1" tabindex="1" $emailchecked[1] />
<input type="checkbox" name="emailupdate" value="2" tabindex="1" $emailchecked[2] />

Regards...

I think if you use type="radio" instead (so that only one can be selected) then it will work. But there's a problem with the $emailchecked values since they are either selected="selected" for the selected choice or null, and a radio button needs checked="checked" instead. But something like this might work:

<input type="radio" name="emailupdate" value="0" tabindex="1" <if condition="$emailchecked[0]">checked="checked"</if> />
<input type="radio" name="emailupdate" value="1" tabindex="1" <if condition="$emailchecked[1]">checked="checked"</if> />
<input type="radio" name="emailupdate" value="2" tabindex="1" <if condition="$emailchecked[2]">checked="checked"</if> />

Did you mean to leave out the "no email notification" choice?
