Quick question. I have a text type database field. I have several checkboxes to enter values into it. I want to display the values on a page. By default, {LINKWHATEVERTHISFIELDIS} would display something like:
value1, value2, value3, etc
It puts a comma between the values. How can I change this to something else, like a line-break or something.
If you know all the possible values you could do <IF {LINKCHECKED[field <,> value1]}> value1<br></IF> <IF {LINKCHECKED[field <,> value2]}> value2<br></IF>
but if you don't you can use some PHP: <?php echo str_replace(',' '<br>', '{LINKWHATEVERTHISFIELDIS}'); ?>
I don't really understand what you would replace the field and value with, well actually, the value isn't a problem, but what do I replace the field with and how would it be written? In { } ?
I really need to get the values to display as bullet points.
my link field is {LINKSERVICESLIST}
And my values are...
1 hour lessons 2 hour lessons
So how would it be put into bullet points instead of the commas it outputs as standard?

If your template variable is {LINKSERVICESLIST} that must mean you named your field serviceslist, so
<IF {LINKCHECKED[serviceslist <,> 1 hour lessons]}>this one has one hour lessons</IF>As for placing the PHP, you put it wherever you want it shown in the template.
With bullets instead of line breaks:
<?php echo str_replace(',' '<li>', '{LINKSERVICESLIST}'); ?>Forum Regular

If I put the PHP version in a template, the page shows as a blank white page.

Do you have error suppression on? Get the debug output. We're talking about 4.0.26 here I presume?
