I am having a problem with my checkbox and radio selections not appearing in email instead i get just repeats of the same things but not a selection as to which one of these was chosen. I know other people are having the same problem but I couldn't make heads or tails out of the solutions provided to them. The code for the fields are as follows.

<div  class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_checkbox"><label class="cf_label">Preferred Contact Method</label><div class="float_left"><input value=" Email" class="radio validate-one-required" id="_Email" name="_Email" type="checkbox"><label for="_Email" class="check_label"> Email</label><br><input value=" Phone" class="radio" id="_Phone" name="_Phone" type="checkbox"><label for="_Phone" class="check_label"> Phone</label><br><input value=" Mail" class="radio" id="_Mail" name="_Mail" type="checkbox"><label for="_Mail" class="check_label"> Mail</label><br></div><a onclick="return false;" class="tooltiplink"><img  src="components/com_chronocontact/css/images/tooltip.png" class="tooltipimg" border="0" height="16" width="16"></a><div  class="tooltipdiv">Preferred Contact Method :: Please select how you would prefer to be contacted</div></div><div class="clear"> </div></div>

<div  class="form_item"><div class="form_element cf_radiobutton"><label class="cf_label">Preferred Contact Time</label><div class="float_left"><input value=" Morning" class="radio validate-one-required" id="_Morning0" name="radio0" type="radio"><label for="_Morning0" class="radio_label"> Morning</label><br><input value=" Afternoon" class="radio" id="_Afternoon0" name="radio0" type="radio"><label for="_Afternoon0" class="radio_label"> Afternoon</label><br><input value=" Evening" class="radio" id="_Evening0" name="radio0" type="radio"><label for="_Evening0" class="radio_label"> Evening</label><br></div><a onclick="return false;" class="tooltiplink"><img  src="components/com_chronocontact/css/images/tooltip.png" class="tooltipimg" border="0" height="16" width="16"></a><div  class="tooltipdiv">Preferred Contact Time :: Please select which time you would prefer us to contact you.</div></div><div class="clear"> </div></div>

and the email template is coming out like this:

Preferred Contact Method
{_Email} Email
{_Phone} Phone
{_Mail} Mail
Preferred Contact Method :: Please select how you would prefer to be contacted

Preferred Contact Time
{radio0} Morning
{radio0} Afternoon
{radio0} Evening

Is someone able to help me please. 😀

Hi sizex,

The basic process here is to make all the checkboxes return an array of results by giving them all the same array name like contact[]

<div  class="form_item">
  <div class="form_element cf_checkbox">
    <label class="cf_label">Preferred Contact Method</label>
    <div class="float_left">
      <input value=" Email" class="radio validate-one-required" id="_Email" name="contact[]" type="checkbox">
      <label for="_Email" class="check_label"> Email</label>
      <br>
      <input value="Phone" class="radio" id="Phone" name="contact[]" type="checkbox">
      <label for="Phone" class="check_label"> Phone</label>
      <br>
      <input value="Mail" class="radio" id="Mail" name="contact[]" type="checkbox">
      <label for="Mail" class="check_label"> Mail</label>
      <br>
    </div>
    <a onclick="return false;" class="tooltiplink">
      <img  src="components/com_chronocontact/css/images/tooltip.png" class="tooltipimg" border="0" height="16" width="16">
    </a>
    <div  class="tooltipdiv">Preferred Contact Method :: Please select how you would prefer to be contacted</div>
  </div>
  <div class="clear"> </div>
</div>

and then use a simpler version in the template:

<div  class="form_item">
     <label class="cf_label">Preferred Contact Method</label>{contact}
<div >
