    filtering by checkbox U4.11

    Templates, (partial) views and macros
    Umbraco 4

    I'm trying to filter a list of projects by categories from a checkbox data type list. Is this possible by just filtering through by text value of the checked item? I've done something similar in the past with radio buttons where (filtered by prevalues actually) but the same code doesn't seem to work for checkboxes. Been running in circles trying to get this work so any help is greatly appreciated. Thx! 

    var projects = Model.AncestorOrSelf().Descendants("projectDocType");

foreach(var item in projects.Where("Category.ToString().Contains(\"CategoryTextToFilter\")"))   
    {               
        <p><a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a></p>           
    }

    Hi Melanie,

    It looks like you need to use id of "CategoryTextToFilter", becaue field is storing id of string, not text.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    Yes, thanks for checking, I sort of got it to work like so:

    foreach(var item in projects.Where("visible")) 
{   
    var chked = @item.Category.ToString(); 
    if(chked.Contains("CategoryText")){ 
        <p><a href="@item.Url">@item.Name</a></p> 
    }

}

    Using Id like you suggested didn't work for me unfortunately. I think that only works with the radiobutton data type.
