Hello,

Thanks for your great Component.

I can't get output data from multi fields on my form, am getting only from other fields. I also noticed that only data from the first field with label from a four multi field is submitted (Education).

Please have a look at the form on my site below:

http://thegreatbusinessclinic.com/index.php/application-form.

I only get submitted data from 'Institution' alone on the 'Education' section of the multi field.

All other multi field sections from 'Professional Qualification' to 'Computer Skills' are blank.

What do I do to get data from them please?

Thank you.

Segun.

Hi Segun,

If you have more than one input element with the same name then only the last one will be submitted. You can either give them distinct names like text_1, text_2 or you can use an array name like text[]

Note that IDs should always be unique on the page and should not include []

Thank you so much for your prompt response. I double-checked the names, They all have different names as below:

Field Name: Institution

Field ID: Institution

Field Name: from

Field ID: from

Field Name: to

Field ID: to

Field Name: qualification

Field ID: qualification

Thanks for usual support.

Hi Segun,

Please look again - here are the first three inputs from the Computer Skills section - they all have the same name and id 'text'

<input name="text" id="text" value="" placeholder="" size="37" class="form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="" type="text" />
<input name="text" id="text" value="2." placeholder="" size="37" class="form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="" type="text" />
<input name="text" id="text" value="3." placeholder="" size="37" class="form-control A" title="" style="" data-inputmask="" data-load-state="" data-tooltip="" type="text" />

I have changed the names and tested but still it's still submitting blank result. Please other sections have the same problem too.

PS I also see that your Check Captcha action is not working. Please drag an Event Loop action into the pink On Fail event of the Check Captcha action.

Thanks for your prompt response. But from my Joomla backend in the component settings of each elements in question, I have the names and IDs to be different. What are you suggesting I do please?

Please take a look at the result I get in my email from the form submission. You'll see that there's nothing from the Education section and I filled in the first line of four multi field. Also I filled in professional qualification and computer skills but got a blank result.

Hi Segun,

Well, if you check the form HTML as I have you will see that they are not different. I suggest that you fix this first, once you have that working correctly you will need to re-create the email template.
