Changing checkbox value

    Hi

    Thanks for this very useful plugin.

    I have created a single checkbox and want the value being set to be ‘yes’, but it seems to only output ‘on’ no matter what I try.

    Is there a way to change the value recorded when this is checked?

    Not sure about just the standard checkbox field type, but multicheck works for custom value attributes, and you don’t need to set many.

    Justin may have a better idea.

    Ever find a working solution to this WPSeeker?

    In case anyone else comes across this, I was able to accomplish this with the following field definition:

    array (
  'id' => '_featured',
  'name' => 'Featured?',
  'desc' => 'Check to feature this item on the home page.',
  'type' => 'checkbox',
  'attributes' => array (
    'value' => '1',
  )
)

    Actually, sorry, that makes the checkbox input tag have value=”1″ but it won’t save to the database. So, never mind.

    I believe CMB2 uses “on” for a checkbox value that should be toggled, if I’m not mistaken.
