Title: Custom Select/Checkbox Fields not displaying correct data Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Custom Select/Checkbox Fields not displaying correct data * Resolved [Beginner9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beginner9/) * (@beginner9) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-selectcheckbox-fields-not-displaying-correct-data/) * Hi Greg, Appreciate your great work through this plugin. * Am having some issues with creating custom select/checkbox fields, per your directions( on your site). * The display of the actual text doesn’t happen. For eg * ``` "options" => array( array("value"=>"1", "text"=>"Silk"), array("value"=>"2", "text"=>"Cotton"), array("value"=>"3", "text"=>"Woollen"), array("value"=>"4", "text"=>"Polyester"), ) ``` * In the above, the ad detail page shows 1,2, 3 (or a combination of these in case of multi-select), but not the actual text silk/cotton/woollen etc. However, it work fine for simple field text. The problem seems to be only in checkbox/ select cases. * The display of the empty form also happens correctly with coorect choices like silk/cottn etc. * many thanks for your support &help. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpadverts/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpadverts/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * Plugin Author [Greg Winiarski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gwin/) * (@gwin) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-selectcheckbox-fields-not-displaying-correct-data/#post-7353666) * Hi, i am not sure can you post your whole custom code here? * Thread Starter [Beginner9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beginner9/) * (@beginner9) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-selectcheckbox-fields-not-displaying-correct-data/#post-7353692) * Hi, Here is the code for adding two custom fields, which I inserted in functions. php file 1. Custom select – City (Dropdown, not a ‘required’ field, only one selection allowed) 2. Custom checkbox – Choose Fabric (not ‘required’ field, multiple selection allowed) * ``` add_filter( "adverts_form_load", "my_adverts_form_load" ); function my_adverts_form_load( $form ) { if( $form["name"] != "advert" ) { return $form; } $form["field"][] = array( "name" => "my_custom_city", "type" => "adverts_field_select", "order" => 20, "label" => "City", "is_required" => false, "max_choices" => 1, "validator" => array( "options" => array( array("value"=>"1", "text"=>"Delhi"), array("value"=>"2", "text"=>"Mumbai"), array("value"=>"3", "text"=>"Alld"), array("value"=>"4", "text"=>"Varan"), ) ); $form["field"][] = array( "name" => "my_custom_fabric", "type" => "adverts_field_checkbox", "order" => 20, "label" => "Choose Fabric", "is_required" => false, "validator" => array( ), "max_choices" => 3, "options" => array( array("value"=>"1", "text"=>"Silk"), array("value"=>"2", "text"=>"Cotton"), array("value"=>"3", "text"=>"Woollen"), array("value"=>"4", "text"=>"Polyester"), ) ); return $form; } ``` * Next, I inserted the following code for display of fields in Ad Details page. Inserted again in functions.php file * ``` add_action( "adverts_tpl_single_details", "my_adverts_tpl_single_details" ); function my_adverts_tpl_single_details( $post_id ) { $cf = get_post_meta( $post_id, "my_custom_city", false); $cc = get_post_meta( $post_id, "my_custom_fabric", false); ?>
City
Choose Fabric
"1", "text"=>"Silk"), ``` * “value” is data that will be saved in DB, “text” is a label which will be displayed in dropdown, so if you want Ad details pages to display “silk” instead of “1”, your options should be * ``` array("value"=>"Silk", "text"=>"Silk"), ``` * Thread Starter [Beginner9](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beginner9/) * (@beginner9) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-selectcheckbox-fields-not-displaying-correct-data/#post-7353779) * It worked, Sir.
