  Hi folks! Hey, can a field be set up as a single checkbox, for a “yes/no” option? If it’s checked, the value is “Yes”, if not, the value is “No”? Or ‘null’ or ’empty’ I guess, and then I can hopefully use a dash of basic PHP logic on my display template to echo out “Yes” or “No” next to the label for that value?
  
  I’d much prefer this to having a pair of radio buttons as it’s so much cleaner, but I don’t see an example of this in your Demo.
  
  Thanks!

  Sorry, clearly a case of RTFD (read the fine documentation). I assume a single option in the choices array will do it, and I can check for the field’s value in the theme’s appropriate template file.

  That should work.

  Although it works, but it only for a text field on the failure of two or more

  I also had problems setting up a single checkbox field, it would not remain unchecked after save. I ended up using a select box instead.

  This is fixed in the upcoming release, it was a fun bug 😉

  Hmm, I assume there’s some other factor causing Preston’s bug? ‘Cause my single checkbox works fine. My code is:
  
  piklist('field', array( 'type' => 'checkbox', 'field' => 'snow_cross', 'label' => 'Snow Cross?', 'attributes' => array( 'class' => 'text' ) ,'choices' => array( 'Yes' => 'Yes' ) ));
  
  And the checked / unchecked boxes are staying that way….

  @cosmocanuck Hm. I was able to reproduce the bug with your code as well.
  
  I’m using Piklist version 0.8.0b5.

  Ah! I’m using version 1.0.6. It’s the latest version… you seem to be using an older one? Not sure why that would be the case…

  Is 1.0.6 available?
  
  I only see 0.8.0b5 on the download page: http://wordpress.org/plugins/piklist/developers/

  I’m sorry, I was looking at the wrong plugin! I’m at version 0.7.2 of PikList. That’s the version it says you get when you download from that URL. Do you have a preview / beta version? it does say b5 at the end so I assume so… that’s probably the problem…?
