Hi everyone, im having a spot of bother working out how to retrieve (or quite possibly set) an array in the 'settings' part of hook_nodeapi() --- code --- case "settings": $form .= form_checkboxes('Paranoia', 'paranoia_settings', array(variable_get('paranoia_settings', array('robots'))), array('robots' => 'Visible to robots?')); return = array('Paranoia' => $form); break; --- code --- It's enirely possible that my problem has more todo with doing the settings code wrongly, but im i want to do is this: * add an extra set of checkboxes (one for now) to set some vars that can be retrieved later. and the specific problem i'm having is this: * i can't seem to use variable_get() to get the value of the varialbe i've set to use for the default_value part of form_checkboxes - ie. if there is a value set for the array the checkbox should be ticked, if not, then not. Can someone please help me get back on track? many thanks.. -- Nick Wilson http://performancing.com/user/1
