ElementOptions plugin for Craft CMS
===================================

[](#elementoptions-plugin-for-craft-cms)

ElementOptions fieldtypes function similar to the native [Checkboxes](https://craftcms.com/docs/checkboxes-fields) fieldtypes, with the addition of a selected element to each option. Each element type is supported with it's own fieldtype: Assets, Users, Entries, and Categories.

Why
---

[](#why)

The intital need for this plugin was to create a "layout selection" field. While a [radio buttons](https://craftcms.com/docs/radio-buttons-fields) field would do the trick, we wanted to be able to show a selectable image instead of a checkbox and text.

The most applicable element type is Assets, as it allows you to create a field where users can select from a pre-defined set of Assets.

------------

[](#installation)

- Git: `git clone https://github.com/timkelty/craft-elementoptions.git craft/plugins/elementoptions`

Settings
--------

[](#settings)

[![Screenshot](resources/img/screenshots/field-settings.png)](resources/img/screenshots/field-settings.png)

See [Craft Docs for Checkboxes Fields / Settings](https://craftcms.com/docs/checkboxes-fields#settings).

- Limit the number of selectable options
- Select an element for each option, and how that element will be displayed (thumbnails, label, checkbox)
- **Option Label** and **Value** may contain tags that reference the selected entry, such as `{title}` or `{slug}`. This can be useful if you want the label/value to change with element, and vice-versa.

### Templating

[](#templating)

See [Craft Docs for Checkboxes Fields / Templating](https://craftcms.com/docs/checkboxes-fields#templating).

- `option.element` is available. It will return an `ElementCriteriaModel`.

```

    {% for option in entry.elementOptionsFieldHandle %}
        {{ option.element.first().title }}
    {% endfor %}

```
