Can someone tell me what the default value for Checkboxes in Collection Fields should be? Used to, I just added a Checkbox type field and everything was great, but now, the default value seems to be defaulting to checked. I have tried entering '0', '-1', 'off', 'no', 'unchecked', 'false'... nothing seems to work. What am I supposed to enter here to leave the field unchecked by default? Thanks.


---edit---
I may want to clarify that. The check box is not checked when you double click on the line item, but when you display that column, there is a check on every entry. Does that make sense?

Sounds like Bug 28344 (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283444), which was fixed in Tellico 2.3.5. Are you perhaps using an older version? Can you upgrade to 2.3.8, the current version?

That does indeed sound right. I am running 2.3.4, which is the latest in the Ubuntu repository I'm using. Can you tell me how to get the latest version?

This ppa, https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+ppa-packages, has some backports that might work for you.

When I run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+ppa-packages

I get this:
Cannot access PPA (https://launchpad.net/api/1.0/~https/+archive/ppa) to get PPA information, please check your internet connection.

That is not a valid ppa address. As you can see on the his Launchpad page, Dominik Stadler has named PPAs for different Ubuntu versions differently. I guess you are running 12.04 codename precise, so you could use https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/dsta-precise-ppa:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dominik-stadler/dsta-precise-ppa


If you use precise with the regular Backports and Kubuntu Backports PPA you probably want https://launchpad.net/~dominik-stadler/+archive/ppa. Always read the description including the technical details before adding a PPA, as additional dependencies should be listed there.

But be advised that these ppas contains several other packages as well, adding it will updated those if you don't take further actions (apt pinning). Alternatives to adding a ppa are downloading and installing the packages manually, which implies that you need to take care of updating those yourself, or you upgrade to a new Ubuntu version. At least for Kubuntu trusty (14.04) is a great release and tellico 2.3.8 is in its universe repository. Adding various PPAs will at some point lead to package management conflicts.

Thanks... I took a look at the .deb paakges available for 12.04 and it looks like 2.3.4 may be the latest version available without upgrading my OS. Rather than add the ppa and deal with potential issues when I amy not even be able to upgrade the package, I'll just deal with the bug.

Thanks anyway guys.
