Translated Checkbox Status

The “Translated Checkbox Status” filter rule (package filter_checkbox) checks whether the value of a translated checkbox attribute is equal to 1 (active). It is functionally identical to the Checkbox Status filter rule, but is designed for use with the Translated Checkbox attribute type in multilingual MetaModels.

The translated checkbox status is evaluated language-specifically: the value of the translated checkbox is checked in the active language. This allows publication states to be controlled per language.

For monolingual MetaModels, the filter rule Checkbox Status is available.

Installation

The filter rule is installed via the Contao Manager or Composer:

composer require metamodels/filter_checkbox
