[Resolved] Display Images from Checkbox Values

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to loop over the options for a checkboxes group field using Views, and display a different image per option.

Solution:
There is no built-in way to loop over checkbox options in a View, but you can use the syntax from the article below to write out some conditionals manually.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='room-size' option='0'][/types]' eq 'filename1.jpg' )"]
    <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/filename1.jpg" />
[/wpv-conditional]
   
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='room-size' option='1'][/types]' eq 'filename2.jpg' )"]
  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/filename2.jpg" />
[/wpv-conditional]
   
[wpv-conditional if="( '[types field='room-size' option='2'][/types]' eq 'filename3.jpg' )"]
  <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/filename2.jpg" />
[/wpvconditional]

You will replace room-size with the field slug from wp-admin, and replace the img srcs with full URLs. The 'filename1.jpg' in quotation marks at the end of the line should be replaced with whatever you have in the value of each checkbox.

Hi,

I have a User Registration form with Checkboxes where can select images. (Label = img tag).
The values of each checkbox is the filename of the image (it needs to be translatable with wpml)

In the view I'd like to display the selected images but I am not sure how the get the separate values to build a img tag in the output.

Can you help me?

Hi,
thanks so far. In the meantime I put the complete img tag as option value (which seems to work) but your solution looks cleaner 😉
