Multiple Options Attribute
Permalink
Hey!
Just curious if anyone else has figured this out yet or ran into this problem. I have a custom attribute that will allow multiple options to be chosen. When I do this:
And just echo it out, it merges all the chosen attributes together. I noticed it's not in an array. I tried doing a search for a \n, but found none. Any one else know how it's put together? It can't just be in the DB as "option1 option2". Or is it? I couldn't find it.
Thanks!

I have no idea, but I'm curious as to what it actually say in the db. Did you look?
I wasn't able to find it. :(
You sure there are no newlines? I just did the same thing with a multi-select and there were newlines (and I was able to use str_replace() to have commas). Take a look at the HTML source to see newlines.
If not... I know for sure that there are other methods within the attribute controller that can provide a more structured format, but I don't have any example code handy right now.

Hey James!
Hmmm. I tried to do a search and it wasn't seeing the new line. Here's my code:
The end result is no comma and just a space between them.

Your code won't work, even if there is a new line. Replace '\n' with"\n".

Dang! Why was it sensitive to double quotes instead of single quotes?
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tip!
Same reason that '$var' wouldn't work -- single quotes are more literal than double quotes. Seehttp://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php...

Huh. Gotcha. Didn't realize that. Thanks~! You're a lifesaver!
