Fraenkiman e544ed6d9a Smatry Release 4.4.1 on Feb-2024
Comparing changes: https://github.com/smarty-php/smarty/compare/v4.3.1...v4.4.1

It is noticeable that Smarty 4.3.1 does not officially support PHP 8.3. Is only supported with 4.4.0.

Remark:

During tests with Smarty 4.5.1, it was noticed that the following warning occurs:
Deprecated: Using the unregistered function "function_exists" in a template is deprecated and will be removed in a future version. Use Smarty::registerPlugin to explicitly register a custom modifier.

As of Smarty 5.X.X, templates must be revised again.
The Smarty release 5.0.2 is already officially available. However, integration into FlatPress is not entirely trivial.

# {html_checkboxes}
`{html_checkboxes}` is a [custom function](index.md)
that creates an html checkbox group with provided data. It takes care of
which item(s) are selected by default as well.
## Attributes
| Attribute Name | Required | Description |
|----------------|-------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| name | No | Name of checkbox list (defaults to 'checkbox') |
| values | Yes, unless using options attribute | An array of values for checkbox buttons |
| output | Yes, unless using options attribute | An array of output for checkbox buttons |
| selected | No | The selected checkbox element(s) as a string or array |
| options | Yes, unless using values and output | An associative array of values and output |
| separator | No | String of text to separate each checkbox item |
| assign | No | Assign checkbox tags to an array instead of output |
| labels | No | Add <label\>-tags to the output (defaults to true) |
| label\_ids | No | Add id-attributes to <label\> and <input\> to the output (defaults to false) |
| escape | No | Escape the output / content (values are always escaped) (defaults to true) |
| strict | No | Will make the "extra" attributes *disabled* and *readonly* only be set, if they were supplied with either boolean *TRUE* or string *"disabled"* and *"readonly"* respectively (defaults to false) |
- Required attributes are `values` and `output`, unless you use `options` instead.
- All output is XHTML compliant.
- All parameters that are not in the list above are printed as
name/value-pairs inside each of the created <input\>-tags.
## Examples
```php
<?php
$smarty->assign('cust_ids', array(1000,1001,1002,1003));
$smarty->assign('cust_names', array(
'Joe Schmoe',
'Jack Smith',
'Jane Johnson',
'Charlie Brown')
);
$smarty->assign('customer_id', 1001);
```
where template is
```smarty
{html_checkboxes name='id' values=$cust_ids output=$cust_names selected=$customer_id separator='<br />'}
```
or where PHP code is:
```php
<?php
$smarty->assign(
'cust_checkboxes',
[
1000 => 'Joe Schmoe',
1001 => 'Jack Smith',
1002 => 'Jane Johnson',
1003 => 'Charlie Brown',
]
);
$smarty->assign('customer_id', 1001);
```
and the template is
```smarty
{html_checkboxes name='id' options=$cust_checkboxes selected=$customer_id separator='<br />'}
```
both examples will output:
```html
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1000" />Joe Schmoe</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1001" checked="checked" />Jack Smith</label>
<br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1002" />Jane Johnson</label><br />
<label><input type="checkbox" name="id[]" value="1003" />Charlie Brown</label><br />
```
```php
<?php
$sql = 'select type_id, types from contact_types order by type';
$smarty->assign('contact_types',$db->getAssoc($sql));
$sql = 'select contact_id, contact_type_id, contact '
.'from contacts where contact_id=12';
$smarty->assign('contact',$db->getRow($sql));
```
The results of the database queries above would be output with.
```smarty
{html_checkboxes name='contact_type_id' options=$contact_types selected=$contact.contact_type_id separator='<br />'}
```
