multiple input box ticking results in a PTV looking something like

Hobby: Travels,Photography,Music
which then would not populate input defaults correctly, ie. it needs
spaces between values not commas!
How can we resolve this? I could add a Fox config variable
"$FoxPTVArraySeparator", which could be set to a comma or a space or
even a comma and a space or what ever. I am not sure what a change in
the default from comma to space would break for sites updating
fox.php.
Could PmWiki have a similar configuration variable, so instead of a
space
a comma could be used in a PTV holding array elements?
Yes, it could. The new feature was added recently and is not yet in the
core documentation so we can change it.
Currently "space" is a separator but not so simple: one can quote
strings containing spaces; this comes very handy from ParseArgs().
(:input default name[] val1 "val 2" val3 val4:)
-> note, may change!
Using a simple explode() with a separator is very easy but what happens
if one of the values contains the separator?
Also, the current markup for all input elements:
(:input ELEMENT name 1,2,3,4,somevalue:)
means that the "value" argument in the HTML input tag is
"1,2,3,4,somevalue". It is not very consistent to have ONE way to define
a value in (:input text name value:), (:input checkbox name value:) or
any other element, and ANOTHER in (:input default name value:).
I also also think that an existing PTV in the page should be able to
check/uncheck the checkboxes, by simply setting (:input default
source=1:).
Let me think about it.
