Checkbox not working in email

Hello All,

I have tried many different ways of using the tags for the email but I cannot get the form to publish a users selections.

In the form it looks like this:

Our Products

Gourmet Cookie Dough
Cheese Cake
Cinnamon/Pumpkin Rolls
Braided Bread
Pizzas
Tillamook Country Smoker
Gourmet Coffee Beans
Candy Bars
Smencils
Gift Wrap
Pizza Cards
Buy 1 Get 1 Free Cards

In the email the result is this:

Requested Information

Our Products:
{check1}
{check2}
{check3}
{check4}
{check5}
{check6}
{check7}
{check8}
{check9}
{check10}
{check11}
{check12}

I would like to have only their selections visible in the email, on another thread here there was a suggested patch as this was a problem is this the solution or do I have to add some different code. To make it work. I have attached the form code just incase:

Hi huntercreation,

The input name in the Form HTML is the array name check0[] so you need {check0} in the Email Template. You'll also need to set "ChronoForms handle my posted arrays" to 'Yes' in the Form Editor General Tab.

This will give you a comma separated list in the Email. If you prefer a vertical list then you can handle the posted arrays yourself in the OnSubmit Before box.

There's a different approach to a similar question in this post
