Question

I got the following issue. A clients wants that the text after checkboxes are links to other pages and thus between …

I have the following code:

$form['boxes_brands'] = array(
        '#type'=>'checkboxes',
        '#title'=>'<div id="title-container">Merken</div>',
        '#options'=>$brandArr,
        '#default_value'=>$_SESSION['filter_brands_cat'],           
    );

=> $brandArr is an array of brands.

I looked in the Form Api of Drupal but I did not find an option to do this. I could alter the values in $brandArr but of course that changes the value of the value attribuut of the input object too.

Using the prefix and suffix options won’t do it either because I don’t want the checkboxes in the tags too.

Is there a clean way to do this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you created the form with the UI, then you should be able to specify something like this in as the options and links would be rendered as links:

google|<a href="http://www.google.com">This is a link to google</a>
yahoo|<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">Yahoo</a>
bing|<a href="http://www.bing.com">Bing!</a>

See example:

Otherwise, you should be able to modify the $brandArr accordingly to create links in the label. Doing this should NOT change the value of the attribute as it should be a $value->$label associative array. You just need to change the $label not the $value.
