Information collector to get multiple options - possible?

Bruce Morrison	Tuesday 14 September 2004 8:47:48 pm Is anyone aware if there is the ability for any of the datatypes to be able to collect multiple options. i.e. The option datatype to use checkboxes instead of radio buttons? From looking at the source I don't believe this is possible. Looking for confirmation and/or alternatives.

It isnt an information collector yet but you just need to add a small function to do this: function isInformationCollector() { return true; } paul
Bruce Morrison	Tuesday 21 September 2004 7:26:12 pm Hi Paul Finally got back to this one. I've had a look at the backported datatype and it's not really what I'm after. No matter I'll put together an extension to do what I want. I'm a little confused at this datatype though. It seems quite complex. What is it meant to do ? When editing I am able to add multiple "multioptions" then add options to each one of these. When viewed there is of a number of selects (dropdowns) with options specified.

Hi Paul

Finally got back to this one. I've had a look at the backported datatype and it's not really what I'm after. No matter I'll put together an extension to do what I want.
