Hi Suckerhead,

I think I have this working smoothly (fingers crossed). There are several places where you need to deal with the array that is returned by checkbox inputs. The changes are pretty simple and are along the lines described here but rather than try and explain them I've attached a couple of modified files for ChronoForms 2.1.4 - chronocontact.php and admin.chronocontact.php Make sure that you have copies of the distribution files then overwrite your installation with these two.

These files should fix the following problems:

+ Checkbox inputs only show the final entry
+ Field name shown as 'name[]' on Create table
+ Incomplete SQL error on Create table
+ Show checkbox arrays as comma separated lists in e-mails and database tables.

Please let me know if you have any problems and I'll look again - sorry this has taken so long, it's been a busy week.

Hi bob,

thanks for what you have done
but still not working in here after i replace the admin.chronocontact.php and chronocontact.php.


here's my step (correct me if i'm wrong)
#1 create table, and add '[]' on the checkbox, eg: name"abc[]"

#2a create table--- success
b try the form --- the result on the database is "Array" not the value.

#3a add code onsubmit - beforesending email
[code]
<?php
if ( is_array($_POST[abc]) ) {
$_POST[abc] = imlockquote>

Code:

<?php if ( is_array($_POST[abc]) ) { $_POST[abc] = implode(',', $_POST[abc]); } ?>

#3b try the form - same result. can you give me more detail. - sample form - code to put on the onsubmit code before sending - or i miss something to put on? thanks again

Hi Suckerhead,

Ah! I may have found it - please test with 'E-mail the results' set to 'Yes' (I know you don't want to do this but that's the one difference between my form and yours).

Also leave out the code in #3a below as that should already be in the amended files.

If this works then I'll make a change to the files so that it works with or without the e-mail option.

Bob,
you're my man.... Finally it works.. you're awesome man...
I'm waiting your correction file so it works with or without email option. (please attach the file )

Thanks bro..

Hi suckerhead,

Try this version. Both files are included in case anyone else tries it but only chronocontact.php is changed from the previous version.

This should work with any single dimension array in a form - that's what you are using. However, it won't work for multiple dimension arrays e.g. if you name all your form fields "form['some_name']" and among them have some checkboxes with names like "form['some_array[]']" That would need a further mod.

Forms like this are pretty rare - but sometimes it can be convenient to sweep up form values in an array for further processing.

Hey Bob,

I'm having difficulty with only the last checkbox (sharing names with others) being submitted ...so I tried these files, but it causes an error on my site ...the form doesn't display at all. I'm assuming that it's because the version of chronoforms has changed since these files were created. I'm using version: 2.5 J1.5 RC3.1

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

nick.
