    Help Output checkbox list values

    Hi All

    I am fairly new to this so i'm sorry if it appears very simple.

    In the administration I have created a new data type for a Checkbox list.
    I have assigned this data type to a property in a document type. This allows the admin user to select multiple checkboxes.

    All i'm trying to do is output the selected values on to a page.

    I've tried the following but I just get blank values back (unless I select one item):

    <umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">
    @{
    @Model.GetProperty("availableTo").Value
    }
    </umbraco:Macro>

    I've searched every where but I cannot find any help?

     

    Thanks

    Sorry I was meant to put .ToString() at the end.

    <umbraco:Macro runat="server" language="cshtml">
     
     @Model.GetProperty("availableTo").Value.ToString()
     
    </umbraco:Macro>

     

    With the above if I select one checkbox item from 'availableTo' it works fine. If I select 2 or more it comes back empty.

    Any idea how I can output one or more values?

    Thanks

    I have checked the content of the umbraco.config and even though I have checked 2 check boxes i'm getting the following:

    <availableTo><![CDATA[]]></availableTo>

    Why would this be empty when I select more than one item? if I check one box it is fine.

    This is very confusing

    A few questions

    - What umbraco version are you using ?

    - How did you configure your checkbox list datatype. Can you provide a screen shot

    Hi Dave

    Thanks for your help.

    Its version 6.0.2

    This is the created data type:

    I have changed the name to Campus (as oppose to availableTo).

    Then I add the property to the document type:

    This then allows the user to select the check boxes:

     

    If I select one item I get the following: <campus><![CDATA[Test 1]]></campus>

    If I select two items I get the following: <campus><![CDATA[]]></campus>

    Strange,

    I just tried to reproduce this on a 6.0.0 and 6.0.3 install. Everything seems to work fine.

    Cheers Dave for your help. I will try to upgrade to the 6.0.3 install.

    Hi Mark,

    I just checked the issue tracker and it seems it was a bug in 6.0.2 and 4.11.5

    http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-1882

    A upgrade to 6.0.3 would fix the problem

    That's great Dave. I really appreciate your help as I was going out of my mind.

    I feel like i have been googling for hours and hours and was getting no where.

    Thank you!!
