Theme Options - Tick list
I have the below option field in my posts so that the user can select a particular item from a drop down. This works fine, however I need them to be able to choose more than one option, so I would like a multi-select option.
Do you know how I would go about creating a list of tick boxes then they can select more than one item?
Code for the option as it stands currently is below.
I then have this lower in the page for I assume displaying and saving the options, I see I have one for input, textarea, and select, but what would I need to put for a multiselect?
Many thanks!

"type" => "multicheck",
"options" => array("Indoor", "Outdoor", "Ice Breaker", "Evening"),
"std" => "",
"title" => "Activity Purpose",
"description" => "Select which purpose category this activity fits into"),

function new_meta_boxes_2() {

This is multicheckbox,
The submitted value $_POST['trans_value'] will be an array of all checked optionPrevious versions of this answer: 02/08/13 at 1:23pm

Any ideas?
