Choice Field Type
The choice field type allows you to create a field with any number of choices. The input of this can take the form of a drop down, radio buttons, or check boxes.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Type of Display | Radio buttons, drop down, or check boxes. |
| Choice Data | This is where you specify the choice data, one per each line. See the next section, Choice Data Form for more info. |
Choice Data
You can specify the choices you want to be available in your input by putting them each on a separate line:
Vanilla
Chocolate
Strawberry
If you need to, you can specify a 'key' for each line of data. This is what will be stored in the database if you use it. To create a key for each data line, add the key before the value, separating the two with a colon surrounded by two spaces:
l : Live
d : Draft
In the tag output, there is a 'key' tag available. If you do not use the key feature, the key just ouputs the value.
Tag Ouput
The tag output for the choice field type differs based on the type of form output you've selected;
Radio Button/Drop Down Output
For radio button and drop down inputs, there is only one value that can be selected, so the output is simply that key or value.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| {{ field_slug:key }} | The option key. |
| {{ field_slug:value }} | The option value. |
Checkboxes Output
Since checkbox values have multiple values, you can cycle through them using atag page. The key and value are represented by 'key' and 'value' variables.
{{ field_slug }}
{{ key }} - {{ value }}
{{ /field_slug }}
