Question

i have checkbox list printed in one column, but i need it to print in columns and in every column should be for example 10 checkboxes.
My php code:

//$user_cats- array of categories. 
    echo CHtml::activecheckBoxList($categories,
           'selected['.$parent->id.']',
        CHtml::listData(
                $user_cats,
                'id',
                'title',
                ''
        ));

Maybe is there a way to modify CHtml::listData that it could print checkboxes in columns?

Answer 1

I would do something like this:

CHtml::activecheckBoxList($categories,
       'selected['.$parent->id.']',
    CHtml::listData(
            $user_cats,
            'id',
            'title',                
    ), array('separator'=>'',
             'template'=>'<span class="checkbox-columns">{input} {label}</span>'),
    );

And then in my CSS something like:

span.checkbox-columns {
    float:left;
    width: 20%;
}

Adjust the CSS, primarily the width percentage, as needed.
