Hello.

In this article I will show how to create a checkbox group in your hack's options. It's easy. Just do the following:

1. Create an option. Datatype validation type = free.

2. Enter the following code to Option code:
Code:
" . eval('$options=""; 
$fritems = array(
	"Test1Code" => "Test option checkbox",
	"Test2Code" => "Another test option checkbox",
);
foreach($fritems AS $fritem_id => $fritem_name)
{
	$options .= "\\t\\t<label for=\\"setting[$setting[varname]]$fritem_id\\" title=\\"item id: $fritem_id\\"><input type=\\"checkbox\\" tabindex=\\"1\\" name=\\"setting[$setting[varname]]"."[]\\" id=\\"setting[$setting[varname]][$fritem_id]\\" value=\\"$fritem_id\\"" . iif(strpos(",$setting[value],", ",$fritem_id,") !== false, \' checked="checked"\') . iif($vbulletin->debug, " title=\\"name=&quot;setting[$setting[varname]]&quot;\\"") . " />$fritem_name</label><br />\\n";
}
return "<span class=\\"smallfont\\">\\n$options\\t</span>";') . "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"setting[$setting[varname]][]\" value=\"-1\" />
3. Save option. Now you will see your group of checkboxes. You can add more items to $fritems array. Array key will be the code of the option. Array value is the text to display near checkbox. Please note: all strings added to $fritems array should be double-quoted (because all there is inside single-quoted eval function) or, if you need single-quotes, escape them.


4. Now create a admin_options_processing hook with the following code:
PHP Code:
if (is_array($settings['my_setting_name']))
{
    $settings['my_setting_name'] = implode(',', $settings['my_setting_name']);
} 

5. That's all. Now $vbulletin->settings['my_setting_name'] will be a string like "Test1Code,Test1Code" depending on what user checked at options page.

A little moment on option text localization. Instead of
PHP Code:
$fritems = array(
    "Test1Code" => "Test option checkbox",
    "Test2Code" => "Another test option checkbox",
); 
you can write
PHP Code:
$fritems = array(
    "Test1Code" => $settingphrase["my_setting_phrase_name1"],
    "Test2Code" => $settingphrase["my_setting_phrase_name2"]
); 
Just create phrases at VBulletin settings group with names my_setting_phrase_name1 and my_setting_phrase_name1:

Code:
<phrasetype name="vBulletin Settings" fieldname="vbsettings">
	<phrase name="my_setting_phrase_name1" date="1218041520" username="FractalizeR" version=""><![CDATA[Test option checkbox]]></phrase>
	<phrase name="my_setting_phrase_name2" date="1218040714" username="FractalizeR" version=""><![CDATA[Another test option checkbox]]></phrase>
</phrasetype>
Now a small example on how to list all usergroups and allow user to check some usergroups (take this text to Option code):

Code:
" . eval('$options =""; 
foreach($vbulletin->usergroupcache AS $usergroupid => $usergroup)
{
	$options .= "\\t\\t<label for=\\"setting[$setting[varname]]$usergroupid\\" title=\\"usergroupid: $usergroupid\\"><input type=\\"checkbox\\" tabindex=\\"1\\" name=\\"setting[$setting[varname]]"."[]\\" id=\\"setting[$setting[varname]]$usergroupid\\" value=\\"$usergroupid\\"" . iif(strpos(",$setting[value],", ",$usergroupid,") !== false, \' checked="checked"\') . iif($vbulletin->debug, " title=\\"name=&quot;setting[$setting[varname]]&quot;\\"") . " />$usergroup[title]</label><br />\\n";
}
return "<span class=\\"smallfont\\">\\n$options\\t</span>";') . "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"setting[$setting[varname]][]\" value=\"-1\" />
All comments are welcome!

Fractalizer, very nice! I am wondering however why you don't just loop through each usergroup and call vbulletin's print_checkbox_row() function to handle the checkbox creation. It's located within adminfunctions.php

I am not sure May be because this method was extracted from one hack a long time ago. And after some time I extended it a bit and decided to publish a how-to.

Thanks for this tutorial.

in step 4 i.e.

PHP Code:
if (is_array($settings['my_setting_name']))
{
    $settings['my_setting_name'] = implode(',', $settings['my_setting_name']);
} 
What to write in place of "my_setting_name"and how to check which options are checked from within php page.

I also wanted to know how to use this option code
bitfield:nocache|allowedbbcodesfull

This bitfield type code automatically generates a set of check boxes of allowed bbcodes to choose from. Now how to implement onto our page.

Thank you

my_setting_name is the setting name you provided when creating setting. As for bitfield - I am not sure it is supported. Where is this example from?

thanks for your reply !

alright so $settings['my_setting_name'] is the field setting name, fine.

1. And in the option code I see "setting[$setting[varname]", does varname needs to be replaced by something ?

2. How do I check for the checked options from the php page ? Like for boolean we do :-

PHP Code:
if($vbulletin->options['mysetting_enable']
{
        enabled = true;
}
else
{
        enabled = false;
} 
How to achieve similar for checkbox ?

3. umm.. not sure what you mean by bitfield supported. See in admincp->Social Group Options and Album Options and Visitor Message options. They all have a setting of "Allowed BBCODES", their option code is set to bitfield:nocache|allowedbbcodesfull and it automatically outputs a set of checkboxes of bbcodes.
I did the same and it works but as in my 2nd ques, how do I check it ?

Thank you
