If/Else Statement for Custom Checkbox

Now I just gotta update my code for arrays, since CCTM nwo does em on checkbox type content fields.

Current code I need to modify is:

<strong>Available Options:</strong>
<?php $my_array = get_custom_field('product_options');
foreach ($my_array as $item) {
	print '<li>';
	print $item;
	print '</li>';
}
?>

em? Not sure what you mean. Have you used the output filters for this? Specifically the “formatted_list” filter:
https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/wiki/formatted_list_OutputFilter

<?php
print_custom_field('product_options:formatted_list', array('<li>[+value+]</li>','<ul>[+content+]</ul>') );
?>

You can always iterate over the array manually, but the Output Filters were designed to make printing your data as simple as possible.

Well, I need each option in this array to have a corresponding tooltip. None of the “tooltip” plugins let you have much control, so I imagine Ill have to load the cluetip jquery library and call it. Its just Im not sure how to have the cluetip scan for certain values so it can display the correct corresponding tool tip.

Yep, you’ll have to load up the tooltip JS/CSS in your template — some of those plugins require that you set a title attribute for the link.

You’re using a multi-select field, right? Not a checkbox field … otherwise you wouldn’t be returning an array. So you could either define a global array of tooltips (e.g. at the top of your template file) such as

$tooltips = array(); // initialize
$tooltips['some_value'] = 'This means something...';
$tooltips['other_value'] = 'Note this here';

Then use each value returned from the array to get your tooltip, e.g.

<?php $my_array = get_custom_field('product_options');
foreach ($my_array as $item) {
    $tooltip = $tooltips[$item];
    print "<li><span title="$tooltip">$item</span></li>";
}
?>

OR you could play around with the “use distinct options/values” option when you define your multi-select field, then iterate over the array using full key/value pairs, e.g.

<?php $my_array = get_custom_field('product_options');
foreach ($my_array as $k => $v) {
    print "<li><span title="$k">$v</span></li>";
}
?>

$tooltips = array(); // initialize
$tooltips['some_value'] = 'This means something...';
$tooltips['other_value'] = 'Note this here';

Here is the jquery library Im looking towards. It uses $(‘a[title]’).qtip(); so I guess the above statement would be slightly different.

Ack. As of this morning, qtip2’s site is returning Internal Server Error. Sorry to send you to a currently-not-working link.

(for anyone else following the thread) Just gotta wait til this page is back up and see if it is the solution.

Will post info once I can try it out (once the site is accessible)

Okay, here is what I have so far. Things still arent working but..

In functions.php of my theme:

if(!is_admin()){
   wp_deregister_script('jquery');
   wp_register_script('jquery', ("https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"), false, '');
}

In header.php of my theme (just before wp_head):

<script type="text/javascript"
   src="<?php bloginfo("template_url"); ?>/js/jquery.qtip.min.js"></script>

And on single-product.php:

<script type="text/javascript">
$tooltips = array(); // initialize
$tooltips['No Options'] = 'This means something...';
$tooltips['other_value'] = 'Note this here';
</script>
<strong>Available Options:</strong>
<?php $my_array = get_custom_field('product_options');
foreach ($my_array as $item) {
    $tooltip = $tooltips[$item];
	print '<li> <span title="$tooltip">';
	print $item;
	print '</span> </li>';
}
?>
