   I have v1.8.6 of Custom Field Template installed and everything thus far has been going very smoothly with it. I've got a number of custom post types where I need to display select boxes or checkboxes of entries in a different post type (example: what employees worked on a project).

   The following code works great for select boxes:
   Template Content
   [Project Team Members]
   type = select
   code = 2

   PHP Code
   

   //Template #0 - Project - Display Resources in a selectbox
   
   $resources = new WP_Query('post_type=resources&post_status=publish&posts_per_page=-1' );
   
   $resourceNames = array();
   
   if($resources->have_posts()) : while($resources->have_posts()) : $resources->the_post();
   
   	$resourceNames[] = get_the_title();
   
   endwhile; endif;
   
   $values = $resourceNames;

   When I change the field type from select to checkbox the entire contents of my template disappear in the editing window. Doing a basic array in the same PHP box
   $values = array('cat','dog','bat');
   does work. All the documentation for select and checkbox appear to say the exact same syntax is required.

   HALP???

   Other things I've tried in debugging that were unsuccessful:

   • Set it up as sole entry on a new post type with only that field
   • Forced output to screen: echo "Title: " . get_the_title(); which does display values so I know the loop is executing but the larger form does not display. The div with id=cft which is where the full form usually is inset is empty.

   This thread about Dynamic select list had a solution which worked. Not sure why loop doesn't but it's easy enough to make the switch for anyone who also encounters the same issue.
