JSF2 or primefaces p:selectManyCheckbox styling with icons - jsf

Question

One question who styled manycheckboxes with icons?
<p:selectManyCheckbox value="#{Step4Bean.selectedItems}" id="tag-list" >
<f:selectItems value="#{Step4Bean.allItems}" var="item" itemLabel="#{item}" itemValue="#{item}"/>
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
I have check boxes with 6 items , I must have 2 rows with 3 items in each row, near each item must be one icon.
How we can solve this?
Here is a output example link

Answer 1

PF already had the Grid layout for this component.
<h3>Grid Layout</h3>
<p:selectManyCheckbox id="grid" value="#{checkboxView.selectedCities}" layout="grid" columns="3">
<f:selectItems value="#{checkboxView.cities}" var="city" itemLabel="#{city}" itemValue="#{city}" />
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
But the latest PF 5.2.3 and 5.3-SNAPSHOT has custom layout options
<h3>Custom Layout (since v5.2.3)</h3>
<p:outputPanel id="customPanel" style="margin-bottom:20px">
<p:selectManyCheckbox id="custom" value="#{checkboxView.selectedConsoles2}" layout="custom">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Xbox One" itemValue="Xbox One" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="PS4" itemValue="PS4" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Wii U" itemValue="Wii U" />
</p:selectManyCheckbox>
<div class="ui-grid ui-grid-responsive">
<div class="ui-grid-row">
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<p:checkbox id="opt1" for="custom" itemIndex="0" />
</div>
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<p:checkbox id="opt2" for="custom" itemIndex="1" />
</div>
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<p:checkbox id="opt3" for="custom" itemIndex="2" />
</div>
</div>
<div class="ui-grid-row">
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<h:outputLabel for="opt1" value="Xbox One" />
</div>
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<h:outputLabel for="opt2" value="PS4" />
</div>
<div class="ui-grid-col-4">
<h:outputLabel for="opt3" value="Wii U" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</p:outputPanel>
Not sure how and if the latest functionaly can be used with an <f:selectItems/> or only with multiple <f:selectItem/>. I suspect the latter
