Thank you very much.

Hello Jasonthereaper,

I didn’t find in the component fieldtype list any checkbox. So to make this change you need some codifications.
But I’m not sure that’s a good idea to change Locations’ fieldtype from multiple select to chechbox.

Because:
– It manages sub-locations
– it has an auto select sub-locations feature
– it has specific “Search location” script on focus, etc..

Good luck.
-Charles

Dear jasonthereaper,
JAJobBoard support multiple select field as list of checkboxes in the frontend only in JAJobFilter Module and JobSearch Form.
In other Form (JobForm, ProfileForm, ResumeForm), you must customize many files in our component: componentscom_jajobboardassetrendfield.php and other file that process to store data. You may end up with broken site if you are not careful enough.

I found CHECKBOXLIST type in the code but it doesn’t work. It shows an empty input text. Any ideas?
