I may have missed something obvious here but I can’t find a way to loop through all the options in a checkbox field and display each one.
At the moment i’m hardcoding each checkbox in the template like this:

<fieldset>
        <label>Buyers will need:</label>
        <label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="Photography" value="n" {Photography} />Photography</label> 
        <label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="Illustration" value="n" {asset_required_extras}/>Illustration</label> 
        <label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="Font licenses" value="n" {asset_required_extras}/>Font licenses</label> 
        <label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="Icon licenses" value="n" {asset_required_extras}/>Icon licenses</label> 
</fieldset> 

Which means if the clients choses to add another option from the control panel, the template will need to be edited.

I want to use these in a search / filter form to only show results with the selected attributes.

Thanks!

It should look something like this:

<fieldset>
        <label>Buyers will need:</label>
{options:asset_required_extra}
        <label><input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" name="asset_required_extra[]" value="{option_value}" {checked} />{option_name}</label>
{/options:asset_required_extra}
</fieldset>

Another quick question…

Is there a way to produces checkboxes from the options in a dropdown?

I have dropdown menu in the control panel so that members can assign the entry to a certain category, and I want to build a search form with all the categories listed as checkboxes so users can choose the categories they want to include in the search.
