Check Box Group only emailing 1 result

Hi there,

I have a check box Group and have 10 possible answers. Users are submitting 3 or 4 answers but my email only sends me the first answer. How do i fix this?

~Thanks 🤨

Hi boogieman,

Please see FAQ #19 "My checkbox fields aren't working".

Hi all,
I've been at it all day and just wondering if someone out might assist me. I'm trying to get my form to submit more than once answer in my group checkbox. Thanks.

<table align="center" width="700" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer1" id="Answer1"></td> 
    <td class="Text">Answer1 / Answer1a</td>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer2"></td>
    <td class="Text">Answer 2</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer3"></td> 
    <td class="Text">Answer3</td>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer4"></td>
    <td class="Text">Answer4</td>
  </tr>
   <tr>
     <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer4"></td> 
    <td class="Text">Answer5</td>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Answer6"></td>
    <td class="Text">Answer6</td>
  </tr>
  
   <tr>
    <td valign="top" class="Text"><input type="checkbox" name="Industry[]" value="Other"></td>
  	<td colspan="3" class="Text">Other; please specify  
     <input name="Industry Other" type="text" size="25"></td>
	</tr>
  </table>

Hi, is this V3.0 stable ? whats the email template code for this part ? it should be : {Industry}

Hi boogieman,

There's a little problem with the last text input field - names can't have spaces in them. Please change to

<input name="Industry_Other" type="text" size="25">

This might be causing the problem with the checkboxes if CF is reading this name as 'Industry'.

Bob

hi guys,

I downloaded chronoforms two weeks ago so i assume i'm using the most recent version. I closed my spaces with a "_" and still no luck on the submission. i still only get 1 answer. here is the template for the email. Thanks.

Note: i'm not just getting one answer in my email, but also in my db.

Hi boogieman, with your code here : http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=2&t=11607#p17169

write only {Industry} in the email template, what do you get ?

Cheers
Max

Hi Max,

I entered only {Industry} as you asked and this is the email i got... this is what i got, I exluded the email header info. I selected three items, but this seems to be returning several more!

Thanks.

Hi Boogieman,

No, you've got the same four answers "Engineering, Performance_Monitoring_Tracking_Systems, Real_Estate_Developers, Other" but repeated 14 times because you have {Industry} 14 times in your template. Try replacing all of that with:

<tr><td>Industries: </td><td>{Industry}</td></tr>

Bob

Hi Bob,

I created an email template for test purposes using only. {industry} nothing more, and i got those answers when submitting my form. Is it my form your asking me to make changes to 🤨

~Thanks

Hi Boogieman,

No, that needs to go in the Email template.

I'm as certain as I can be that you didn't get those answers from an email template with only {industry} in it. Maybe the old one is still there somewhere.

Bob
