      Greetings!

      I’m working on a plugin and it has a setting page which contains a repeater group field. I’m struggling to get it to look right. The labels don’t show up, the fields are tight together, and the bottom field is jutted out. On a minor note, subsequent repeated groups don’t have the same width for the first text field. Lastly, you’ll notice the default checkbox value is different; I’m not setting it anywhere. Screenshots

      piklist('field', array(
  'type'    => 'group',
  'field'   => 'taxonomies',
  'label'   => 'Taxonomies',
  'add_more'=> true,
  'fields'  => array(
    array(
      'type'      => 'text',
      'field'     => 'name',
      'label'     => 'Name',
      'required'  => true,
      'columns'   => 12
    ),
    array(
      'type'      => 'checkbox',
      'field'     => 'hierarchical',
      'label'     => 'Hierarchical',
      'required'  => true,
      'columns'   => 12,
      'choices'   => array( 'true' )
    )
  )
));

      The solution for the labels is to add the columns element with any value. The solution for the jutted field is to set the above field to columns 12.

      I may take a stab at fixing this one myself and submitting a patch, but I wanted to report it and make sure it wasn’t already patched. 🙂

      Thanks!

      @jason– Ok, we have a few things here.

      First I would change your code to the following, which moved the label for your second field to the actual value of the choice:

      piklist('field', array(
  'type'    => 'group',
  'field'   => 'taxonomies',
  'label'   => 'Taxonomies',
  'add_more'=> true,
  'fields'  => array(
    array(
      'type'      => 'text',
      'field'     => 'name',
      'label'     => 'Name',
      'required'  => true,
      'columns'   => 12
    ),
    array(
      'type'      => 'checkbox',
      'field'     => 'hierarchical',
      'required'  => true,
      'columns'   => 12,
      'choices'   => array(
        'true' => 'Hierarchical *'
      )
    )
  )
));

      Second, we have a new version of Piklist coming out that fixes all the alignment errors.

      Hi Steve!

      Good call on the first, and good to know for the second.

      I’m not sure if I should make a new thread for this, but it pertains to the context. I added another group field, slug, and gave it the field value “slug”. But, above the group is another field that has the same field value. I assumed that because the second slug was inside of a group it would recognize the difference. I believe it stores properly (that is it wouldn’t write to the same row), but apparently it doesn’t distinguish upon retrieval.

      Keep rockin, Piklist!

      Another issue I’m having in the same group: After I add a second instance of the group and save the settings, the checkbox field no longer shows up once the page reloads. Only the checkbox field and only for the non-first fields.

      I tried using a radio instead.. no dice. But switching to a Select did the trick.

      @jason– I’m going to email you some code.
