Check box email results problem

wizkid13 09 Jan, 2009
Hi,

I have just started using the 1.5 version of Chronoforms and love the new options that it provides. My problem is with the results that are sent with the email. I have a list of check boxes. I want people to be able to pick multiple check boxes and the results sent to me via email. I searched the forum and made sure that I used "[]" after the name. I also verified that the name is the same in the email template and the form code.
Here are the results when I check three boxes. There are ten options.

Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Making Phone Calls
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Putting-up a Yard Sign
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Host a Fundraiser
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Blockwalking in my Neighborhood
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Having Elena Speak to My Group
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Mailing Friends of Elena
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Addressing Envelopes
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Working in the Office
Making Phone Calls, Putting-up a Yard Sign, Putting a Bumper Sticker on my Car Miscellaneous

As you can see the 3 options that are checked in the form show before the all the options. I am trying to get a result like this:

checkbox = Making Phone calls, putting up a yard sign,putting a bumper sticker on my car

I have seen the results I want in this post:

I thought I followed the instructions. I even copy pasted the example code into a test form and got the same results as above. I know that it is something small that I am missing.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Sean

Hi Sean,

Show me your form code at the checkboxes part and show me the email template code!

Hi Sean,

The Wizard does a great job with default templates until it gets to checkbox arrays :-(

What you probalby need here is a singe entry like
Label: {field_name}
// for example
How are you prepared to help: {field_name}
This will replace all ten lines that you have at present.
