Re: [Cppcms-users] widgets::checkbox.value() always returns 0

[Artyom <art...@ya...>]

Hello,

Show your code...

1. How do you configure your form (full code)
2. How do you load data to your form
3. How do you render your form

Because I use checkbox on daily basis and it
is covered by unit test.

1. All CppCMS 1.x.x widgets have automatic naming that are
   rendered and tested in form so basically if
   you use 

     request().post().find("agree") !=  request().post().end()

   Then it seems that you do not create form by <% form ... %> tag.
   and you write your own code.

   In such case you should provide a name for checkbox:

      agree.name("agree");

2. In addition it is also may be that you do not put all widgets
   in a single form and then they not get loaded.


Take a look once again on the CppCMS sources

   examples/form/

On how do you render and configure the form.

P.S.: Which reminds me there is need for up-to-date
      tutorial for CppCMS forms.
