Hi,
I am following this tutorial: http://www.chronoengine.com/faqs/70-cfv5/5226-how-can-i-have-a-button-to-add-more-form-inputs-2.html. I have the fields showing up properly and the debugger is showing the fields for the recipient array have the correct values, but I can't figure out what to use to get the fields to display in the event email or what to use in the event custom code to get at a particular field in the recipient array.
This is the form: http://www.croatiancentre.com/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=Dancer-Registration-Form. Each Dancer has a last name, given name, sex, etc.
In my custom code event I want to get the first dancer's last name and given name. This is how I would normally get a field:
which will give me the family email address in the $email variable. I have tried a number of different things to get the first dancer's info such as:
But I get Illegal string offset 'lastname' as a warning when I submit the form. How do I access the first dancer's fields in the recipient array in the custom code?
The other issue is how to access these fields in the email template output. I have tried things like:
but none of that works. What do I use to get at the various dancer's fields in the recipient array? I want to have the following code for each dancer in the email:
Here is the output that I get from the debug message:[attachment=0]Dancer-Registration-Form-output-1.jpg[/attachment]
Let me know if you need the form code.
Thank you for your help.
