Custom field with selection of multiple choices

HI All!

I want to extend sitefinity 4.x Document & Files Module and want to add a custom field, In this custom field option I want to show a number of check boxes where user can check multiple check boxes.
The selected check boxes values should be accessible, which I can use in my front end  controls.

Please let me know how it is possible. I tried but It saved only one selected value not mutiple. The error on mutiple selection is attached in Image.

any suggestion ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hi waqar,

We need to see how you bind your control and what are the values you use. The code you added breaks the entire content item. Make sure that you use correct types for the custom field. You should pass the selected values as json.

Best wishes,

Hello John!

Not a problem dear, same thing happened with me many times while I was learning it. What you need to do is,
1- Goto the sitefinity database search the tables that contains column name and text in tables with name you created the fields. (SQL query for search text and column name from a database is available on internet )
 2- Goto the App_data --> Sitefinity --> Configuration here you will find a number of xml configuration files. You have to find and delete the fields you created. With this there are many xml configurations files in the folder which are not included in the project so you have to open it into windows explorer and search the filed you created by text and delete them too.
3- Save, build your project and login again. Hope this will work for you too.
---Remember to backup your project files and database as well.

Hope this will work for you as well OR wait for 2 days to get sitefinity team reply.

Regards!

I have searched BlogsConfig.config to workflowConfig.config..searching "ServiceLines" and "Industry" custom field i created....but none.....
