checkboxes not being sent

wdemilly 13 Feb, 2010
I have a form with multiple checkboxes. Unfortunately when I receive my emails, no checkboxes are shown.

I decided to test with your basicDemo form, adding the default three checkboxes to that form. I deleted the contents of the default email so that the program would automatically recreate the email.

On submission, the same issue. No checkboxes appear in the submitted form email.

Any advice?
Thanks.

Hi wdemilly,

Works fine here:

Created with the Wizard, minimal email set up, turned Debug on but otherwise 'out of the box'.

Hi wdemilly,

I looked at a couple and the names are check2 and check3. Are those names in the Email template?

Hi Bob,

the only name in my email template is {check0}. Should it be something else? {check0} works in the demo form whether box 1, 2 or 3 is checked.

Sorry for being so thick-headed about this!
Thanks

Hi wdemilly,

The template code is very simple minded. It says replace {xxx} with the value of the field names 'xxx', the name of the checkboxes in the Demo for is {check0} so the values appear. I'm guessing that you have no field named 'check0' in your form so nothing appears.

If you want to get ChronoForms to create a template for you using the names from your form (assuming that they are in the Form HTML) then clear the template of all code - including any non-visible code that you can only see by clicking the HTML button in the editor. Then save the form and ChronoForms will create a new tempalte from your Form HTML. For your form that may be much more information than you need in there.
