Checkboxes and email template issue

Au
AudioxceL 12 Aug, 2009
Hi, ive been a user of chronoforms for a long time with zero issues, but right now im facing a challenging one.

I have a form that sums the value of the checkboxes via a simple javascript, it shows them to the user when filling the form and also sends this value on the email (no issues here), but when i send the form to an email the fields appear like this:

$ 425.00 ..Responsible Management of Licensed Venues
$ 70.00 ..Responsible Service of Alcohol – RSA
$ {course2} ..Responsible Gambling Services – RGS

If the checkbox is selected, it appears the value of the field, wich is the name of the course to take, but if the checkbox isnt selected, it appears the name of the field, this doesnt happen on any other field, if there is nothing on it on the email it shows a blank space.

Is there any way to make the email show a blank space or a message instead of the field name?

The form code:

<span class="Estilo2">Training Registration Form</span> 
<br />

Hi Audioxcel,

There are two ways of doing this.

1) You can add some PHP in the OnSubmit beofer box to create a result line (blank or text) in a dummy form variable depending on the check-box result.

2) You can do more or less the same thing in the email template.

Both have the same result; personally I'd do it in the Email template to put PHP in there you have to turn off the HTML editor in the Email Setup Properties.

<?php
$check = JRequest::getString('check0', '', 'post');
if ( $check ) {
  echo "$999 Some course or other";
}
?>

Hi, thanks for the response.

Ive added to the onsubmit before like this:

<?php
$check = JRequest::getString('course0', '', 'post');
if ( $check ) {
  echo "$999 Some course or other";
}
?>


But the {course0} still appeared on the email if its not checked.

Iapplied it to the template (and it worked😀 ), butthe code appears if the checkbox is checked, how do i change it to appear if the checkbox isnt checked?

Thanks for the help!

Hi Aodioxcel,

I'm guessing that the old coe is stil in the template. Please post this part of the tempalte code here so we can take a look.

I have a form with 10 checkboxes that the user can select services they need. I am creating an email template with a summary of what they filled out on the form and want to show only the checked items and not show the unchecked items. I apologize, I'm a newbie and don't know much about PHP. I want to stick this code in the email only, it won't be saved on a database.

I tried this but cannot get it working:
<?php
$check = JRequest::getString('Service_Needed','Service_Needed2', 'Service_Needed3', 'Service_Needed4', 'Service_Needed5', 'Service_Needed6', 'Service_Needed7', 'Service_Needed8', 'Service_Needed9', 'Service_Needed10','', 'post');
if ( $check ) {
  echo "Selected";
}else{
echo "Not selected";
}
?>


Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi mashdun, the problem i see with your code is that it will submit the message ONLY if all the items are selected.

You will have to input a code for each field, this also gives you the advantage to place a check and unchecked message for each field.

ex:


<?php
$check = JRequest::getString('Service_Needed0', '', 'post');
if ( $check ) {
  echo "Selected";
}else{
echo "Not selected";
}
?>
<?php
$check = JRequest::getString('Service_Needed1', '', 'post');
if ( $check ) {
  echo "Selected";
}else{
echo "Not selected";
}
?>

Hi Mashdun,

I agree with audioxcel, the code you have won't work for a couple of reasons. I'd turn the field list into an array and then loop through the array:
<?php
$field_array = array('Service_Needed','Service_Needed2', 'Service_Needed3', 'Service_Needed4', 'Service_Needed5', 'Service_Needed6', 'Service_Needed7', 'Service_Needed8', 'Service_Needed9', 'Service_Needed10');
foreach ( $field_array as $field ) {
  $check = JRequest::getString($field, '', 'post');
  if ( $check ) {
    echo $field.": Selected";
  } else {
    echo $field.": Not selected";
  }
}
?>
You'd probably need to make this a little more sophisticated to look good.
