FormHelper Customized Templates - checkboxFormGroup

[gauravmak]

checkboxFormGroup is generating a Notice for {{input}} -> Notice (8): Array to string conversion [CORE\src\View\StringTemplate.php, line 216]

My code attached...

Secondly, there is no way to customize the label of the checkbox. Any possibility for that?

For checkbox the input gets nested inside the label so you shouldn't have {{input}} placeholder in your checkboxFromGroup template.

Seems you are trying to customize the templates for bootstrap. I would suggest using the Bootstrap UI plugin.

Thank you @ADmad,

The doc needs an update then I guees - http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#list-of-templates

Yes am using bootsrap, but I already have a template which I need to integrate with the app.
I will wait for the update to be able to customize the checkbox label then.
It is already doing 2 jobs though - Adding hidden element and the checkbox input.

For checkboxes by default the nestingLabel template is used. It's currently not listed on the manual page you linked but I have opened a PR cakephp/docs#2622 to fix it.

If you don't want the the checkbox input to be nested inside the label set the option nestedInput to false when using FormHelper->input().

Thanks man. perfect.
I meant to say the checkboxFormGroup options on the link should be updated not to include {{input}}, right?

checkboxWrapper doesn't seem to be anything. Is that so?

When we use Form->input, the div with the class input and input type (file, text, checkbox, etc.) is inevitable, correct? Need to go for specific type of option to avoid that top div? - http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/views/helpers/form.html#generating-specific-types-of-inputs

I have fixed checkboxFormGroup template.

By default it does a wrapper div.

No, you can customize the inputContainer template using templates option for the Form->input() call and remove the wrapping div.

It looks like FormHelper->input() or FormHelper->checkbox() are not using checkboxWrapper.
Is it implemented at all?

[markstory]

@zkalinic It is in use see right here

[zkalinic]

Thanks markstory for pointing out where it is in use, but can you give me an example how to use it?

Just FormHelper->checkbox() or FormHelper->input(['type' => 'checkbox']) doesn't render checkboxWrapper...

[markstory]

You need to be making a multipleCheckbox so Form->input('things', ['type' => 'checkbox', 'multiple' => true]);
