Widget checkbox settings not saving

[AmibeWebsites]

Any widget setting that is a checkbox is not being saved when the Apply button is clicked. An example is inserting a Ninja form in layouts, the correct form can be selected and applied from the dropdown however the checkbox to 'Display Title' remain unchecked.

This is happening in Wordpress 4.3.1 on Gantry5 versions 5.2.1 and 5.2.3

Marking this as important as it should finally get fixed and it is a blocker for using some widgets in Layout Manager.

Also we have a wp.org topic about this issue : https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-not-switch-view-in-widget-gantry-5-hydrogen-theme?replies=7#post-8499108

Sorry, I actually did start looking at it the other day and then more pressing stuff came up. I'll look into it today.

This is now fixed.

For the posterity's sake, the issue is that Ninja Forms uses a trick in their forms for checkboxes, where you render an hidden input field with value 0 and of the same name of the checkbox. This is a trick that allows to always submit in the form that name, because unchecked checkboxes are never sent. It allows to have always a name: 0 (hidden field) or name: 1 (checkbox) (reference).

I have now implemented a workaround to take this checkbox approach into account.

Also to keep in mind that we have still an outstanding issue (#677) where some widgets who have custom css/js are not properly working. That issue still remains for the moment.
