Well there is the widget on Web2pySlices (which I believe is the one in the
Cookbook). Sadly that doesn't seem to work. However, if I put this in my
HTML, I don't seem to need a widget at all, so maybe that's better. I
mean I already have the multiselect function there, so it's only one extra
line to that. I guess I'd better test it a little more though.
<script>
$(document).ready(
function(){
$('[multiple]').multiSelect();
$('form input:checkbox[name*="gallery_tag_id"]').attr('name',
'tag_id');
});
</script>
BTW I also had some trouble with the default widget which adds extra lines.
On occasions it gave tickets complaining about the data format. I guess
no one really uses that one.
