How to put checkboxes into groups
STEP 1
Always begin editing the index file by opening the file in a simple text editor like Windows Notepad. The index file is the .txt file we send you by email when you configure the menu using the online configuration tool. It looks like a list, where each line contains exactly 10 inverted commas which sometimes have commands inserted between them.
STEP 2
"TEXT:This has a grouped checkbox;CHECKBOX;GROUP:GroupName;" "1" "" "" ""
The CHECKBOX feature and its associated features are only available in the Enterprise version.
Checkbox groups are a standard programming concept. Only one item in a checkbox group can be selected at any one time. If one item is selected, any other selected items will automatically become deselected. You can have as many checkbox groups as you like.
To set up a checkbox group, add the command GROUP followed by any combination of alphanumerics, as shown above. The alphanumerics form your chosen name for the group. Any checkboxes anywhere in your menu can be linked together by giving them the same group name. To set up a second group, choose a second name, and so on. Checkboxes can only belong to one group (or none at all).
STEP 3
Always finish your editing session with a test of the new change. Ensure you have saved the HTML file. Remember that the old version may still be cached. If the change does not appear immediately on testing, close down all browser windows and web development environments, and then restart them - this should clear cache. If testing online, ensure that the new file has really uploaded rather than a cached copy of the old one.
