Re: Custom categories element for QuickForm

No, I need to produce categories that are laid out like the following: [x] Articles [x] Reviews [x] Previews [x] Company [x] Misc [x] Misc [x] News With each of the x's being a checkbox. The issue here is figuring out how to get them to be laid out in the tree like structure as they are in the database. I am not sure what the best approach to doing this is. I am not sure weather to use a custom element or if it can be completed by using other means. -Ben On 9/18/05, Justin Patrin <papercrane@gmail.com> wrote: > On 9/17/05, Ben Sytko <bsytko@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello everyone, > > > > I just started to use QuickForm recently and I like it, however, I > > want to create a way to select categories in a certain way and I am > > not sure how to approach it. > > > > I'm working on a CMS, and for it I have multiple categories and sub > > categories that the user can select for each article.
