Good morning,

I have read a number of posts here, and maybe I am missing the one that answers this, but here is what I would like to do…

I would like to create a checkbox field type, preferrable with Advanced Custom Fields (but I would consider another approach) where I could define a list of choices to select from. I would have two or more choices available in that checkbox field.

When I am adding or editing an event, I would like to be able to see that checkbox field and for each event make a selection of one or more of the choices there. I would like that selection to be unique to each event it is associated with. I.E. event one has choice one selected, but event two might have choices 2 and 4 selected.

When that event is displayed, I would like to programmatically build an array of the selected choices and then display them in my output. As you can in the link provided here:

I have created a custom single-espresso_events.php and I am using that to create the custom event listing I wanted displayed. If you look at the icons being displayed in the middle of that page, you can see I am retrieving event data (Start and Stop dates, Prices, Location, etc.) I would like to be to do the same with data for “Guides” and “Difficult” so my custom fields would ultimately be programmatically loaded and the data added to this icon block.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Tim
