Checkbox results as links

Yes, it’s possible, but a little tricky as the most direct way to do it is with string matching and replacing.

The thing I’m not clear on is which shortcode are you using where you want the course names to be clickable? The single record?

Anyway, the idea is you take the value (which is actually a series of values) break it up into it’s parts, and then give each part its link. Tell me which shortcode it’s for and I’ll go into more detail.

Here’s an example I created for my test site. This goes after the line that has $this->the_field() in it:

<?php if ($this->field->name == 'interests') {
	foreach ($this->field->value as &$string){
		switch ($string) {
			case 'fishing':
				$link = 'fishing-page';
				break;
			case 'rock climbing':
				$link = 'rock-climbing-page';
				break;
			default:
				$link = false;
		}
		if ($link) $string = sprintf('<a href="%s">%s</a>',$link,$string);
	}
} ?>

You just need to replace the string I used for my test case with the strings you’ll have in your courses field. My field was named “interests” so you’ll have to change that to the name of your courses checkbox field. This code will work in both templates.

Note that this will only work for multi-select fields (like multiselect checkbox) that can have multiple values because such fields are stored as arrays.
