Hello, is there a way to show the field description somewhere? It's currently only if you hover over it. I have a special need for displaying this in full view all the time.

I would need this shown on the profile and edit areas.

Thank you

You can override the icon display by editing your field within CB > Field Management then adjusting "Icons Display" under Parameters > Layout. For full description display set "Icons Display" to "Only Required Icon and Info Text" for example. Any that say "Info Text" will display the description as text instead of as an icon. You can also use the "Profile Edit Value Layout" to customize how the input outputs. Example as follows.

Profile Edit Value Layout:
Code:
[value] <div>Field description here!</div>

Hello, that works very well. So many options in this.

Is there a way to align the checkbox to the left of the Title? I have it as 2 column so it's full width. I don't need it to be 2 column with title but that is the only way I could figure out how to display it full width. But the checkbox is is on it's own line.

Thank you

Sounds like you want a label with the checkbox. I suggest just using a multicheckbox with 1 option. You can then have a label with it. Example as follows for the single option to mimic a single checkbox field.

Option
Value: 1
Label: LABEL_HERE

You could also use a terms and conditions fieldtype as that looks like what you're using it for.

Hello, still producing the same result for me. The checkbox is on it's own line in the 2 line option for checkbox, multicheckbox or terms and conditions.

If I go with 1 line and title there are 2 columns and it's not lined up well.

There must be another setting I need to change?

You likely have a CSS issue in that case causing the checkbox to be a block element instead of inline-block as it's styled in CB. Right click and inspect element to review the CSS in your browsers developer console. Switch to default Joomla protostar template to see if it's specifically your Joomla template doing it.
