Hi,

Can you help me to display pictures (icons), instead of checkbox values ?

For a CPT I have a Custom Fields Group in which I have 1 "selected list" and 1 "checkboxes".
For the "checkboxes" (so with multiple choices) I'd like to display icons of the selected boxes instead of their db values.
How can I achieve that ?

Thanks.

Hello there,

When you're setting up the checkboxes in the custom field screen, you can add html tags to the title, so you can add images with the <img src=""> tag.

Then those will be displayed with the checkboxes.

Just one little setting you have to perform before, it is described here(https://toolset.com/errata/html-in-toolset-custom-field-labels-is-stripped-when-saving-the-fields/):

In Toolset Settings -> Custom Code, add a new code snippet:

• Run mode: Run always
• Run context: WordPress admin
• Content: php

Snippet content:

<?php
/**
* Deactivate the sanitization of custom field and field option labels,
* so that they can contain HTML code.
*
* Note that this is not recommended for sites that don't explicitly need it.
* Disabling sanitization can have undesired security or other ramifications.
*/

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.
add_filter( 'types_sanitize_field_labels', '__return_false' );

After the code is added, in the custom code section, select the code you entered and activate it, otherwise everytime you save your titles with the <img> tag, it will get striped from the field.

Please give it a try and let us know.

Thank you,
Mateus

Hi Mateus,

Thanks for that. It works now.
However when I display on the front-end I'd like to display icons too.
Is there a way to display the title there instead of the value ? or to be able to enter HMTL code as a value ?

It already accept HTML actually.
