Checkboxes Widget Paging bar

Post by Frank2 »

Hi Support,

When using the "Checkboxes" widget to display data, I can't get the paging bar to display to limit the number of entries to 20 per page. Am I missing something or is that how it is suppose to work? When using the "Grid" widget the paging bar is there.

Thanks
Francois

Morning Jaymer,

Please see attached the 3 screenshots. In the "Grid Widget" image you will see the paging bar displayed at the bottom of the widget.
In the "Checkbox Widget" you will see that no paging bar is displayed. In both cases the "Showing paging bar" option is selected.

Hope this makes more sense and thank you for always replying.

The option for "Display paging bar only when necc." should usually be UNCHECKED, in my opinion.
(unless the options are static and only a few).

You have it Checked.
Since there are only 3 items, the Paging bar is not necc. so its being hidden.

So I'm not really sure if the issue is the Paging bar showing, or
The Options are not limited to 20.

I view the CheckBox Widget similar to a Combobox.
If you had a list of Countries, you wouldn't want only 20 Countries to appear, and someone have to click a button to load more.
Almost any Combobox that I've seen with Countries (for example) is a mile long. It shows all Countries (because this is coming from the HTML). So since the Checkbox Widget is similar, it makes sense to me that it would show ALL records.

Hi Jaymer,

That makes sense if it works similar to the Combobox to display all the records. Thanks for the help once again.

Kind regards,
Francois
