Hello, i’m currently working on a form based on uniform for kirby 3 and i’m – still :roll_eyes: – too stupid for some details: The form works fine, but if it displays an error message – because some required field is empty – the information in the input fields remains, but the status of already “c…

I assume $form->old('topics') gives you an array. So you would probably have to check against something like $form->old('topics')[0] etc. to set the checked attribute. Do a dump($form->old('topics')); to check what that gives you.

I’ve changed it a bit. Now one checkbox keeps its status, all others are un-checked on error… <?php $value = $form->value('topics') ?> <input <?php e($form->hasError('topics'), 'class="error"')?> type="checkbox" name="topics" id="<?= $topics[0]; ?>" value="<?= $topics[0]; ?>"<?php echo $form->old(…

Again, what do you get if you dump dump(get('topics'));

Or dump($_POST['topics']); Should return something after sending the form.

It returns the checked checkboxes after sending the form: <pre>Array ( [0] => topicone [1] => topictwo ) </pre>

Ok, we have to solve this with in_array(), something like: <?= in_array($topics[0], $form->old('topics'))? 'checked':''; ?> (assuming that $form->old('topics') is the same array as $_POST['topics'])

I’m so sorry :see_no_evil:, but I get this error message: in_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string given

I thought $form->old('topics') returned an array, seems it doesn’t. Try $_POST['topics'] then.

Already tried it. :wink: Still not working. You can give up my case if you want, I wasn’t expecting it to be so complicated… :smiley:
