How to have Yii2.0 CheckboxList items as checked as the form loads?
php, yii2
Solution
Okay i got the solution from yiiframework forum itself.
The solution was just to add the following line of code and it worked! :
$record->CuisineId = $list2;
Problem
I am trying to use a Activeform checkboxlist widget in YII 2.0 Framework in my case, i have an array called "list" which has the names of languages which will be rendered out as checkboxlist, now i am able to do that, but i want the check boxes to be checked as the form loads. ``` $list = [0 => 'PHP', 1 => 'MySQL', 2 => 'Javascript']; $list2 = [0,2]; ``` using the following line, i am able to acheive what i want using HTML helper classes : ``` <?= Html::checkboxList('CuisineId',$list2,$list); ?> ``` but i want to be able to do this using the Activeform Widget CheckboxList, which as per documentation is to be used in the following way : static checkboxList( $items, $options = [] ) So in my case, i have figured how to pass the parameter for $items, which is in the following way: ``` <?= $form->field($record, 'CuisineId')->checkboxlist($list);?> ``` But now i do not know how to pass the parameters that will allow the checkboxes to be checked.
