Select only one checkbox in a group
Posted on 2016-09-04
I have a series of checkboxes to use instead of radios (radios are not available to the system).
I cobbled together this jquery to enable a psudeo effect, however its a little dodgy, and I'm no jquery expert.
This uses an initial checkbox to query against and what I did was hide it using css. There has to be a more eloquent way of doing this, without the need of the first checkbox.
here is the code
Possible?

});

<style>

.compbox {display:inline-block;}

You can apply radio behavior to checkboxes this way:
In the click event, you first uncheck all checkboxes in the group, then you set property checked to true for the one clicked using $(this).
You can see it in action here: http://test.webintenerife.com/checkbox-as-radio.php
And this is the full page:
$('.compbox :checkbox').click(function(){
$('.compbox :checkbox').prop('checked', false);
$(this).prop('checked', true);
});

Whoa that worked well in the test page - Ill add it to the environment and lets see
thank you - keep you appraised

Well I dumped it into the js of the system and it doesnt do what it does on a page
the checkboxes themsellves are from an array with two classes on it
one (hideme)
to hide the content of the array from showing in the admin section and
two
(compbox)
to control the look and feel of the checkboxes in the admin area
here is the array

<hr class='gspc'><br />", 'rbm_menu_item'),

If your html is as the one posted above it shoulkd just work (checkbox with class 'hideme' doesn't matter: see my updated example). If it does not this means we have some confilct somewhere: can you share a live link to the page? Or/and the original full code? for the page? Since we use jQuery, we act on the client side so It is not important how the page is built on server side: what's matter is the final output, that is the markup and some other javascript eventually oaded which could conflict with my jquery.

radios are not available to the systemWhat does this mean?
Might be helpful for background information on how checkboxes and radios work...
https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/5450/Common-Sense-Examples-Using-Checkboxes-with-HTML-JavaScript-and-PHP.html
The reason radios dont work is that this is for a Visual Composer plugin and the VC library apparently does not support them unless a lot of extra code is thrown at it. (which I dont know how to do)
The file is attached the only call to js is from this:
here is the file in question - please ignore all my comments inside
robab_menu.php
The file is attached the only call to js is from this:
wp_enqueue_script( 'rbm_menu_js', plugins_url('assets/js/rbm_menu.js', __FILE__), array('jquery') );
//alert("rbm_menu.js is loaded in admin");

So you are developing a Wordpress plugin. And where is the code which should make checkboxes behave as radiobuttons?
I added what you sent to the rbm_menu.js file, located in the assets/js dir.
Pasted it in as is, then ran the plugin with the alert activated - the alert worked, the rest no.

I see. Unfortunately, I don't know anything bout wp plugins development and I can't guess why a perfectly working code should stop to work once inserted in a wp plugin.
I'll request attention to a moderator in order to add wordpress topic: some wp expert will can help you to go forward.

I didnt, I put it on the backburner to get some other css things done - I'll have to return to it later and readdress the issue.
Meanwhile I have another issue with separating the arrays into a separate file so editing is easier. trying to figure a way to have it so its in a dir of its own. If you look at the file I sent you'll see just how big its getting and I want to break it into smaller chunks (just dont know how) :)

It doesn't look so big: 722 lines of code (blank lines and comments included!). But what you're trying to do refers to the internal logic of the plugin: I suggest you to post a new question adding Wordpress to the Topic list.
It appears long to me (specially when I have to scroll up and down to find a pertinent part - thank goodness for sublime text)
I just don't want to be annoying to people, posting a lot of questions and getting them all mad - so I try to keep most of what I'm doing in small bites and try my best to keep it centered to what I originally asked.
