Continuing the discussion from Topic Checkboxes - a dynamic check list showing all checkboxes from all topic messages:
What would be an SQL query to extract all posts with unchecked checkboxes in a particular category, including excerpts (i.e. the paragraph that contains that checkbox)?
Something like that?
-- [params]
-- int_list :categories
SELECT p.id post_id,
t.id topic_id,
c.id category_id,
(regexp_matches(p.raw, '\[\s\]\s*[^]\r\n]+', 'g'))[1] AS html$excerpt
FROM posts p
JOIN topics t ON p.topic_id = t.id
JOIN categories c ON t.category_id = c.id
WHERE p.raw ~ '\[\s\]\s*[^]\r\n]+'
AND c.id IN (:categories)
I might have misunderstood something, but I believe it would be a good starting point.
Oh, so are checkboxes just regular text in the message, e.g. [], [ ], [*] etc?
That’s right. 
Though if you use cooked instead of raw you’d see that they get converted into the icon. I’m not sure if that would be easier to search on though?
