Hi everyone,
I have a form consisting of a TextBox "zip", a DropDownField "area", and three checkboxgroups "offers[]", "offers1[]", and "offers2[]". Calling the form via
places the given CODE in the zip field and picks the given OPTION from the area dropdown. So far, so good. Now I would like to also pass on data as to which checkboxes in the three checkbox groups are checked.
How can this be accomplished?

Hi Skrodde,
It would help a lot if you explained what you need to do. There may be a simpler solutions.
If you need to call it from a URL including the checkbox values then you'd need to include a string of the values in the URL and then explode that in a similar way to your other post.

Hi Bob,
thanks again for your fast answer. What I ultimately want to do is to call the form from somewhere else on my website. And depending from settings at that point, the form should have certain checkboxes pre-set (or not). That is, in my first checkboxgroup, called "offers", I have checkboxes "games", "talks", "entertainment". Ideally, I would like to call the form URL and add
to have the "games" and the "entertainment" checkbox pre-set, but not the "talks" checkbox. I hope it's a little clearer now as to what I want to accomplish. I thought it has to be possible in a way like this, but I seem to be unable to get the syntax right. Could you maybe provide a MWE with the checkboxgroup "games" and the checkboxes "games", "talks", "entertainment"? That would be of tremendous help.

Hi Skrodde,
That will work OK. Like the other post you need to explode the values using a Custom Code action in the form On Load event

<?php
if ( !empty($form->data['offers'] ) ) {
$form->data['offers'] = explode(',', $form->data['offers']);
}
