Note: I know this recipe is pretty hacky, but it works for what I needed. I will update this if I ever find a better solution. Please comment below if you have any better ideas.

Description

We had some concerns about having to change all of the selected check-in areas every time the selected Check-In Configuration is changed on the Rock unattended check-in Admin page, so I set out to figure out how to automate that process.

The script in this recipe will automatically select all of the check-in areas for the current Check-In Configuration and deselect and hide all of the Additional Areas whenever the Kiosk Device or Check-In Configuration fields are changed.

How To

1. Go to Admin Tools > CMS Configuration > Pages and find the check-in Admin page.
   
   
   
   
2. Edit the block properties for the Administration block in the Main zone.
   
   
   
   
3. Under Advanced Settings, add this script block to the Pre-HTML box:
   
   

   <script type="text/javascript">
       $(document).ready(function()
       {
           //make sure the correct areas are checked to start with
           SelectAreas()
           
           //handle changes to any of the fields
           $('.administration').change(function() 
           { 
               //delay the action to give the DOM time to update
               //increase the delay if results aren't consistent
               setTimeout(SelectAreas, 300);
           });
           
           //make sure only areas associated with the current check-in config are checked
           //TODO: find a less hack-ish solution
           function SelectAreas()
           {
               //check the areas for the current config
               $('.rock-check-box-list').first().find('.checkbox input').attr('checked', 'checked');
               
               //uncheck and hide all "additional areas" checkboxes
               $('.rock-check-box-list').last()
                   .find('.checkbox input')
                       .removeAttr('checked')
                   .end()
                   .hide();
           }
       });
   </script>

Go to your check-in site and try it out. If it's working correctly, all of the checkboxes under Check-In Area(s) should be checked and the Additional Check-In Areas section should be hidden.

I have tested this as well as I could, but please let me know if you come across any issues or if you come up with a less hacky solution.

Also, if anyone can give me a example of why I would ever want to choose a certain check-in configuration, but then choose areas from a different check-in configuration, I'd really be interested to find out why the Additional Areas section is even available.
