Checkbox Group vs Checkbox and DataAssist

Hi,

I have a result page on my site which lists records found and I want to place a checkbox by the side of each with contains the record ID. I then want to submit this page to an update page which takes these ID's as a parameter and updates the database.

The problem is if I use checkboxes using dataassist search it appears to only select the the last one clicked. At first I thought it was because I was using checkboxes so i made a checkbox group thinking that would help, but no difference.

Am I missing something really obvious.

to pass multiple values using a checkbox, the name must end in '[]' to create an array, for example:
<input type="checkbox" value="1" name="checkbox[]" />

Thanks Jason,

Managed to get it working, although it took a little editing after applying dataassist search wizard.

I created the results page manually where the recordset selects everything and then applied the search wizard. This works now but if I select nothing in my checkboxes then I get all results applied to the recordset.

I tried changing the default where clause but still no joy. Can you help?

set the trigger for the search to use the checkboxes and set the default where clause to 0 != 0.


click the lightning bolt next to trigger and select the checkbox form the form collection.

In the Default Where section, type:
0 != 0

Jason,

I have tried to follow as you directed. I assumed you meant checkbox from the form collection. I had to remove the [] from the checkbox name pulled in by the form collection for it to work. But then all was good.

And i added the default where clause...code looks like this

$WADbSearch1_DefaultWhere = "0 != 0 ";
if (!session_id()) session_start();
if ((((isset($_POST["chkBoxCherryID"]))?$_POST["chkBoxCherryID"]:"") != "")) {
$WADbSearch1 = new FilterDef;
$WADbSearch1->initializeQueryBuilder("MYSQL","1");

But it still shows all, i know this is because I dont understand the code, but if you can help me it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Andy
