Checkbox (select multiple) rendered incorrectly from form creation page

[joshuata]

Currently if you create a question that uses checkboxes, it is rendered as radio buttons rather than a checkbox

[palmitoto]

I've noticed the same problem in the latest release. Any information on this problem?

[joshuata]

I have actually migrated away from this project partially due to bugs like these, so I cannot give you more information

[palmitoto]

Which project did you migrate to?

[joshuata]

I wrote my own package. I am looking into releasing it as open source, but currently it is pretty specialized to my own needs

It looks like there has been a change on Django side related to rendering of the django.forms.widgets.CheckboxSelectMultiple widget, which is used for the checkbox rendering.

@palmitoto, @joshuata

I think writing a new package might be an extreme measure.

django-fobi is highly pluggable. If you don't like a plugin, you can make your own. In this case, it's about this one:

checkbox_select_multiple.

I was simply curious to know which project he had migrated to.

[joshuata]

I ended up writing my own since we were already struggling to make fobi work in our project. We wanted a lot more control over how to save items to the database, and a far more complicated permissions system. The specific constraints of our application is also one of the reasons I haven't done the work to open source it, since I don't think many other users will have the same requirements

The issue is identified. The fix is ready. I'll release a fix soon.

[matacino]

Hi,
can you estimate a release-date for the fix?

[ErikMHummel]

Is this fix complete?

[barseghyanartur]

Not yet. I'm sorry for the delay. I'll try to allocate time for it.
