Showing "Label" instead of "value" in a Thanks-"Message section"

Hi, when submitting a questionnaire users will see a Thanks Message and also receive an E-Mail, both a copy of the submitted information. There are questions which can be answered with „very good“, „good“ etc. In the database every such „Label“ is saved as a certain „value“ 1 to 6.

My problem is that in the Email section I can select „Auto add fields data“ which will send the „Labels“ of e.g. the radios group, which is fine, since I want the users to read their answer as „good“, and not, e.g., as „2“.

How can I add these labels into the „Message“ section? If I take as message the html-code from the „Template“ – in the form {data:fieldname} – only the "values" will be listed. But I would like to have the „Labels“ instead.

Best
Carsten

PS: In the options part of e.g. a radios group it says: „Multi line list of value=Label pairs, the values will be sent.“ In my case the Email section with „Auto add fields data“ activated, adds the „Label“, not the value.

You'll have to use PHP, or a Switch action. For example in a PHP block
​

$questionsMessage = "";
function getLabel($value) {
   switch($value) {
      case 1:
         return "Bad";
         break;
      case 2:
          etc etc
   }
}

$message.= "Question 1: " . getLabel($this->data("question_1_field_name")) . "<br>";
$emssage.= "Question 2: " . getLabel($this->data("question_2_field_name")) . "<br>";
etcetcetc

return $message;

Then you can use {var:php_block_name} in your email body where you want the text to show.
You can also put all of your message text, HTML, and PHP in a "Custom Code" block set to return as var. Anything you "echo" or return (as in everything that would normally print to the screen) is instead sent to {var:custom_code_block_name} which you can then use in your email body.

I used this code for two questions, but the resulting text only is "IST 1: "

-----
$questionsMessage = "";
function getLabel($value) {
switch($value) {
case 1:
return "Bad";
break;
case 2:
return "Bad";
break;
}
}

$message.= "IST 1: " . getLabel($this->data("radio25_ist01")) . "<br>";
$emssage.= "IST 2: " . getLabel($this->data("radio25_ist02")) . "<br>";

return $message;
-----

Your fieldname is actually called radio25_ist01? Can you put a debug in?

Yeah so obviously the code that looks for a 1 or a 2 isn't going to work if your values are 0 and 3 mate.

got it :-)

I am no PHP expert …
​
Now the answer to "IST 1" is listed ("IST 1: sehr wenig") – but not the answer to "IST 2" (radio26_ist02).

The PHP "switch" does not apply to all rows listed in the code as "$message.="?

How can I add the complete list of Questions/Answers to the resulting message? Do I need a PHP section for every single answer?

make your whole email message in a custom code block set to return as var. Example:
​

<p>This is a paragraph<\p>
<p>IST1: 
<?php 
   switch($this->data("ist_01_fieldname_whatever")) {
     case 1:
        echo "hello guvna";
        break;
     ......
} ?>
<\p>

<p>IST02: 
<?php
   switch($this->data("yougetthepicture")) {
...
..
{
?>
<\p>

Does not work. When I only use the first part of the below code, the message is e.g. "IST1: etwas<\p>" (Which is apart from the <\p> correct.

But when I add a second section for the second question into the code, there comes an error message (T_STRING).<p>This is a paragraph<\p>
<p>IST1:
<?php
switch($this->data("radio25_ist01")) {
case 0:
echo "sehr wenig";
break;
case 1:
echo "ziemlich wenig";
break;
case 2:
echo "etwas";
break;
case 3:
echo "ziemlich viel";
break;
case 4:
echo "sehr viel";
break;
} ?>
<\p>

<p>This is a paragraph<\p>
<p>IST2:
<?php
switch($this->data("radio25_ist02“)) {
case 0:
echo "sehr wenig";
break;
case 1:
echo "ziemlich wenig";
break;
case 2:
echo "etwas";
break;
case 3:
echo "ziemlich viel";
break;
case 4:
echo "sehr viel";
break;
} ?>
<\p>

Works. Thanks a lot.
