I like ExpressionEngine, but I’m starting to doubt its power.

For example, I’m looking for a checkbox fieldtype for custom Member Profile Fields but I’m not finding anything.

Why aren’t checkboxes a default option for custom member profile fields?

Is there is a plugin out there or a simple hack for EE2?

    This works on ExpressionEngine v2.2.0.

    See the list of php files which you will need (in no particular order)…

    • system/expressionengine/views/members/register.php – line 209
    • system/expressionengine/views/members/edit-profile.php – line 70
    • system/expressionengine/controllers/cp/members.php – lines 2988 and
      3086
    • system/codeigniter/system/helpers/form_helper.php – get the function names form_radio, form_checkbox, form_multiselect
    • system/expressionengine/controllers/cp/myaccount.php – line 309
    • system/expressionengine/modals/member_modal.php – line 536 – use foreach on $data array to implode new field arrays.

    There are probably a few more pages that need som attention, but this is enough to get going. Any new field types must be created in exp_member_fields.
