[Plugin: Custom Field Template] checkbox really checked by default

I still have this problem.
I have a set of checkboxes in my cft template and I use this custom fields for some options in my wordpress templates.
I do not understand how to make sure that checkboxes are checked or unchecked by default.

Anbody?

default=0

Like this:

[custom_field]
type=checkbox
default=0
label=Custom Field

Having the same problem, but the above solution is not working for me. I really need some checkboxes checked by default.

Thanks in advance!

Here’s a workaround.

In your template description add this:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
	jQuery('.default_checked').attr('checked', true);
});
</script>

Remember you can any script into your template description field. I use it to attach css and js on a per template basis.

The following code block creates a CFT template with 3 checkboxes that will all be checked when the page loads:

[test]
type= checkbox
value = apple # orange # banana
default = orange
valueLabel = apples # oranges # bananas
label = text
class=default_checked

You could make individual checkboxes with that default_checked class applied. That will ensure that when that the only checkboxes you want are checked.

Have a nice day.

I had a little after thought.
You will need to add a check to see if the page has been loaded before, otherwise the it will recheck the default_checked checkboxes, over-riding them if the user wants them really unchecked.

Add a test to see if another field has been entered.

[anotherfield]
type = text
label = A normal cft field in your template
class = field_test

[test]
type= checkbox
value = apple # orange # banana
default = orange
valueLabel = apples # oranges # bananas
label = text
class=default_checked

Update text description area:

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
	if( jQuery('.field_test').val() == ''  ) {
	jQuery('.default_checked').attr('checked', true);
	}
});
</script>

I′m not sure this is related to the problem I’m having just trying to set default boxes just like the template example.

What I found out is that the default= option seem to work only in the template #0. If I try the same config in the following templates, it doesn′t seem to work.

A bug?
