There has been a change in May allowing setting and posting multiple
checkboxes in some cases. See how to use it here:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PITS/01032
I believe Fox was also updated to handle those.
The current way to do this would be to set multiple default values,
separated by spaces, like:
your PageTextVariable (PTV):
(:Hobby:Travels Music:)
in the form:
(:input default $:Hobby[] {$:Hobby}:)
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Travels:) Travels
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Photography:) Photography
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Music:) Music
No need to have (:if matchstring...:).
Note that a PTV cannot set multiple-checkboxes directly with (:input
default source={$FullName}:), as there is no PTV "$:Hobby[]" with
brackets, the PTV is "$:Hobby". That's why I set a default value as an
intermediate step: (:input default $:Hobby[] {$:Hobby}:)
At the time I asked people to test and report any problems, and for
ideas how to handle things, this is still possible.

Setting a form with multiple checkboxes and storing a comma separated
list of hobbies (just an example) in a ptv proved to be a little
tricky, but many months ago I found that this approach works just
fine:
''Hobby:'''\\
(:input hidden name=$:Hobby "":)
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Travels (:if matchstring '/Travels/'
"{{$FullName}$:Hobby}":)checked(:ifend:):) Travels\\
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Photography (:if matchstring
'/Photography/' "{{$FullName}$:Hobby}":)checked(:ifend:):)
Photography\\
(:input checkbox $:Hobby[] Music (:if matchstring '/Music/'
"{{$FullName}$:Hobby}":)checked(:ifend:):) Music
Actually, it did work until recently :-(
Now, for some reason, it does not work any longer: if I edit the form
(I use Fox) a second time, all the data are reset.
Is it perhaps due to some changes in the latest version of Pmwiki?
