Awesome Bootstrap Checkboxes for Bootstrap Multiselect

Question

I'm using http://davidstutz.github.io/bootstrap-multiselect/ and I wanted to style my checkboxes (http://flatlogic.github.io/awesome-bootstrap-checkbox/demo/) ... BUT for some reason I can't change it to the required html structure.

The default Bootstrap Multiselect HTML:

<ul class="multiselect-container dropdown-menu">
    <li class="active">
        <div class="checkbox">
            <label class="checkbox">
                <input value="AD" type="checkbox"> Andorra (AD)
            </label>
        </div>
    </li>
    ...

That's how it should be e.g.

<ul class="multiselect-container dropdown-menu">
    <li class="active">
        <div class="checkbox">
            <input id="multiselect-0" value="vikings" type="checkbox">
            <label class="checkbox" for="multiselect-0"> Minnesota Vikings</label>
        </div>
    </li>

That's how I initialize it:

$('.test-select').multiselect({
    templates: { // Use the Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox structure
        li: '<li><div class="checkbox"><label></label></div></li>'
    }   
});

That's how I wanted to change the structure:

$('.multiselect-container div.checkbox').each(function (index) {

    var id = 'multiselect-' + index,
        $input = $(this).find('input');

    $(this).find('label').attr('for', id);  
    $input.attr('id', id);

    $input.detach();

    $input.prependTo($(this));

    $(this).click(function (e) {
        e.stopPropagation();
    });

}); 

I got this from here: http://jsfiddle.net/natearmagost/aznvcLps/ Anyone an idea why it might not be working on my side or an alternative how to do so?

The below solution works, but unfortunately not yet if I load the options via $.ajax get and rebuild the multiselect. Anybody an idea why?

$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '/country.php',
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
     $.each(data.data, function (i, item) {
         display = item.display;
         $('.select-country').append('<option value="' + display + '">(' + display + ')</option>');
         //console.log(item)
    });
    $('.select-country').multiselect('rebuild');
}
});

Answer 1

Seems like you have conflicts between the Bootstrap-Multiselect CSS and the Awesome Checkbox CSS since they box use the class .checkbox. Try changing the Awesome Checkbox class to something else.

Working Template Structure:

<li>
  <a tabindex="0">
    <div class="aweCheckbox aweCheckbox-danger">
      <label for=""></label>
    </div>
  </a>
</li>

Based on the default Bootstrap-Multiselect markup, the above template works. Basically just adding the a tag to it.

I also had to modify the .checkbox label rule to accommodate Bootstrap-Multiselect with the following:

padding: 0 20px 0 10px; cursor: pointer;

Working Example:

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('select').multiselect({
    templates: { // Use the Awesome Bootstrap Checkbox structure
      li: '<li class="checkList"><a tabindex="0"><div class="aweCheckbox aweCheckbox-danger"><label for=""></label></div></a></li>'
    }
  });
  $('.multiselect-container div.aweCheckbox').each(function(index) {

    var id = 'multiselect-' + index,
      $input = $(this).find('input');

    // Associate the label and the input
    $(this).find('label').attr('for', id);
    $input.attr('id', id);

    // Remove the input from the label wrapper
    $input.detach();

    // Place the input back in before the label
    $input.prependTo($(this));

    $(this).click(function(e) {
      // Prevents the click from bubbling up and hiding the dropdown
      e.stopPropagation();
    });

  });
});

  padding: 20px;
