   I'm trying to get input from checkboxes (tags, or any other custom taxonomy) to get taken in and parsed with QMT plugin. I have the checkboxes set up, but of course when I give them all the appropriate name, only the last set checkbox gets sent:

   <input type="checkbox" name="tag" value="tag-one" />

   I also tried doing it as you would with an array

   <input type="checkbox" name="tag[]" value="tag-one /> and so on so that they all get taken in. This also doesn't work.

   How do I set this up properly so that I can send data to the Search where if more than one checked box were selected the query would be as follows, in the URL:

   http://myblog.com/?tag=tag-one+tag-two

   Thanks!

   That's something you could achieve with a little bit of jQuery (only tested in Firefox):

   jQuery('#myform').submit(function() {
       var $form = $(this),
           values = [];
   
       // remove checkboxes, while keeping their values
       $(':checked').each(function() {
           values.push( $(this).remove().val() );
       });
   
       // create a new text input with the concatenated value
       $form.prepend( $('<input>').attr({
           'type': 'text',
           'name': 'tag',
           'value': values.join('+')
       }) );
   });

   Replace #myform with your own selector. Also, you might want to replace the :checked selector with something more specific.

   Good point. I was hoping not to resort to requiring JS for this...but I suppose that this is one of those cases where it is easier to do that than try to hack the PHP functionality of wordpress.

   Thanks!
