Checkbox results in Email Template

I'll try to make this simple. My form is here: http://www.freightfirstcorporation.com/NEW/quote

My form code for checkboxes is:

<p><strong>What Equipment Type Are You  Interested In? </strong><br />
  <em>Check All That Apply</em><br />
    <input type="checkbox" name="equiptype" value="semi" />    Semi<br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="equiptype"  value="tractor" />   Tractor Only<br />
  <input type="checkbox" name="equiptype"  value="tractortrailer" /> Tractor And Trailer<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="equiptype"  value="straighttruck" /> Straight  Truck<br />
<input type="checkbox" name="equiptype"  value="driveronly" /> Driver  Only</p>

The email template is:

What Equipment Type Are You Interested In?
{equiptype}

The email template results only returns the LAST checkbox result. Does each NAME have to be unique? equiptype1, equiptype2? If so, how do I make the email template display ONLY value results from checked boxes and not the code {equiptype1} when {equiptype1} was left unchecked?

I think my problem might have a simple solution - maybe missing form code?

Hi Martha,

For Checkbox arrays and Multiple Select boxes you need to use array names like name="equiptype[]" and set ChronoForms to handle array results for you (on the General Tab I think).

Thank you! The [ ] part of the array was the missing ingredient. It works!

I've set all my checkboxes to be name="fieldname[]"

But on the email template I am still getting {fieldname} appear when I email results if not selected. If selected it puts a 1 there. Really I would like this to say YES or NO.

Array handling set to yes. Any suggestions?

Hi wmuckell,

What is the 'value' attribute set to in your checkbox inputs?

Bob

  <input name="Visitor_Guides[]" type="checkbox" id="Visitor_Guides" value="yes" class="cb" />

Here is one of the checkboxes, they are all similar. If not checked the result in the email will be {Visitor_Guides} which the sales team can't cope with!!!!

Hi wmuckell,

If they are not checked you get the {Visitor_Guides} and if any is chekced your get the results ? if yes then this is a known bug with the current release, please contact me through the "contact us" page to get a one file patch!
