Hello,

I'm a newbie to the silverstripe cms, but must say: What a great framework is this!!

I'm trying to add a checkboxgroup in the cms with some text as the keys, but I only get id's as the value.

In the documentation is told that you can have text as a key instead of an id in a checkboxgroup:
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=checkboxsetfield&s=checkboxsetfield

I've tried it with:
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main',new CheckboxSetField('Opleiding','Opleiding',array('VMBO','HAVO','VWO','MBO','HBO','WO'),array('VMBO','HAVO','VWO','MBO','HBO','WO')));

but still there are id's as keys.

Can somebody help me out?

Thanks.

You need to pass keys as array keys. This is explained in Tutorial 3 that Andy made :)

Example:

$browsers = array(
         'FF' => 'Firefox',
         'IE' => 'Internet Explorer',
         'Safari' => 'Safari',
         'Opera' => 'Opera',
         'Lynx' => 'Lynx'
      );
$browserField = new OptionsetField('Browser', 'Your Favourite Browser', $browsers)

Thanks for your reply,
Stupid of me not to try it like this :)

Sweet. Note the dropdown/optionset/checkbox are basically all the same thing in terms of passing data to them.
