Re: [Semediawiki-user] Authorisation box

[Peter B. <pet...@kc...>]

Thank you for that - a popup sounds ideal, thank you!

There are three checks, three levels of authorisation, three are
boolean (yes, ticked, or not) and the other three are the date of the
authorisation.

Actually, I set it up using the 'create class' form, and said that the
boxes should be boolean, but, it seems that didn't work. It's no
trouble, I'll re-do it, with your recommendation for a pop-up and it
should be perfect.
