from checkbox in form to checkbox results in email template

This is the part of the Form, where I have 3 checkboxes

<table>
<p><tr><td>
	<input type="checkbox" name="check0" value=" I plan to attend the conference" size="5"> I plan to attend the conference<p><tr><td>
	<input type="checkbox" name="check1" value=" I plan to participate and submit a paper" size="5"> I plan to participate and submit a paper
<p><tr><td>
	<input type="checkbox" name="check2" value="Please send me further info on the conference" size="5"> Please send me further info on the conference 

Here is the part in the email template

{check0}  I plan to attend the conference
{check1}  I plan to participate and submit a paper
{check2}  Please send me further info on the conference

I don't get any results, why??

Hi finc,

You probably just need

{check0}
{check1}
{check2}

in your template - the labels just repeat the values.

Bob

Yeah thats it:
Adding this to the Email Template
{C1}
{C2}
{C3}
{C4}

I get unchecked results shown as checkbox name??

This 1st one is checked text
{C2}
{C3}
This 4th one is checked text

Hi finc,

Yes, much discussed here and the code to hide them has been posted a couple of times.

In this case I suggest that you create a checkbox array by using the same array name='check0[]' for each input and putting {check0} in the Tempalte - that way you will only have the problem if they leave all the chackboxes un-checked.

Bob

PS You wil also need to set 'Let ChronoForms handle arrays' to 'Yes' on the form General tab.

Okay doing that results anyway in one row😟

check0[1]
check0[2]
check0[3]
check0[4]

Results
{check0}
comes in one row
checked box 1 text , checked box 2 text

any idea why the checked items comes in one row?

Hi finc,

Because they've been switched from an array into a string. You can manage the array handling yourself and switch it to use <br /> if you prefer.

Bob

That means I do not let chronoforms handle arrays.
After that how I do it?
{check0}</br> ???

Hi finc,

Try this in the OnSubmit Before Box:

<?php
$check0 = JRequest::getVar('check0', array(), 'post', 'array');
$check0 = implode('<br />', $check0);
JRequest::setVar('check0', $check0);
?> 

Bob

Later: removed a stray ' from line 2

took chronoform handles arrays to OFF

pasted Your code into "On Submit code - before sending email:" Box

got this after submit

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in public_html/components/com_chronocontact/libraries/customcode.php(64) : eval()'d code on line 2

Hi finc,

Apologies, there's a stray ' in this line

$check0 = JRequest::getVar('check0', array()', 'post', 'array');

should be

$check0 = JRequest::getVar('check0', array(), 'post', 'array');

I'll update my first post.

Bob
