Hi have a custom checkbox channel field with 9 line items. Channel entries may have selected anywhere from 1 to all 9 checkboxes.

I would like to have the checked items displayed on the page in an unordered bulleted list. I have tried putting the [field_name] between ul tags, between ul/li tags with default formatting set to none, auto br, and xhtml.  But it appears that this field type automatically adds a comma after each line item. If I add li tags to each line in the field’s multi-select options, I get the bullets, but I also get an extra line break with a comma between bullet lines.

Any suggestions for how to get a bulleted list to display.

Worst case, I can go to a text area and define the list with tags, but that will make entries a slower.

Maybe it would need a custom field type defined.

Hello Stoelting,

I am sorry to hear you are running into this problem.

Can you show me how you are calling this checkbox in SafeCracker?

Thank you,

I found the answer in the EE Docs under Module > Channel Module > Channel Fields > Checkbox Fields.

A “Markup Parameter” can be added to a checkbox field tag to identify it as an unordered or ordered list. The single field tag would look like this:

The selected items then appear in a standard bulleted html list, without the commas. CSS styles can then be applied for the “ul” and “li” tags.

Hey Stoelting,

That’s awesome! Nice work.

Is there anything else I can help with?

Thank you,

That’s all for this topic. I’m brewing some other questions for later.

Hey Stoelting,

Awesome!

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
