The ezboolean datatype (Checkbox) #

Class eZBooleanType in kernel/classes/datatypes/ezboolean/ezbooleantype.php; identifier ezboolean, listed in settings/content.ini [DataTypeSettings] AvailableDataTypes[].

What it stores #

The columns of the attribute tables its class reads or writes: data_int, data_int3, sort_key_int (data_text, data_int, data_float and sort_key_* are the object attribute's; data_text1 ... data_int4 the class attribute's settings). Found by reading the class: a heuristic. Sorting: sortKeyType() returns int. It is indexed by the search; collects information (forms).

In templates #

my_attribute stands for the identifier of an attribute of this type in your class:

{def $attribute = $node.data_map.my_attribute}
{if $attribute.has_content}
    {attribute_view_gui attribute=$attribute}
{/if}
{* the value as the datatype returns it (objectAttributeContent()) *}
{$attribute.content|attribute( show, 1 )}

The shipped template that shows it (attribute_view_gui), design/standard/templates/content/datatype/view/ezboolean.tpl:

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}
{$attribute.data_int|choose( 'No'|i18n( 'design/standard/content/datatype' ), 'Yes'|i18n( 'design/standard/content/datatype') )}

The shipped template that edits it (attribute_edit_gui), design/standard/templates/content/datatype/edit/ezboolean.tpl:

{* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE! Use an override template instead. *}
{default attribute_base=ContentObjectAttribute}
<input id="ezcoa-{if ne( $attribute_base, 'ContentObjectAttribute' )}{$attribute_base}-{/if}{$attribute.contentclassattribute_id}_{$attribute.contentclass_attribute_identifier}" class="ezcc-{$attribute.object.content_class.identifier} ezcca-{$attribute.object.content_class.identifier}_{$attribute.contentclass_attribute_identifier}" type="checkbox" name="{$attribute_base}_data_boolean_{$attribute.id}" {$attribute.data_int|choose( '', 'checked="checked"' )} value="" />
{/default}

Override them for one class attribute in an override.ini.append.php with Source=content/datatype/view/ezboolean.tpl and a match on attribute_identifier (see A template override).
