Getting form data to send in email (check boxes)

kitesurfa 15 Dec, 2010
Hi there.

I have a form and everything is working fine.

the only issue is my check boxes, when the form is submitted and the email received the check box response is not in the email, it remains the label {Current_Dealer}

The check box asks. Are you a current dealer? Yes No (with check boxes.)

The email always comes back with "Are you a current dealer? {Current_Dealer}"

I tried deleting that check box and creating a new one. I cant figure out how to get the data to actually be in the email.

Please advise.

Hi Mike,

Please try setting "ChronoForms handle my posted arrays" to 'Yes' in the form General tab if it isn't already set.

Thanks Bob...

I looks like this was already set. I think I set it when I was trying different things to fix it.

The think I'm stuck on is that each text box field has a field name you set, then in the email html you use that field name and it post the data from that field into the email.

But the check boxes don't have a field name you can set, so how does the email catch this data?

Thanks, im not usr eif my question is clear or not, right now i can only get to my site by editing my host file. when the dns is set I can post a link.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

Sorry to be so long in replying. It's been a busy couple of weeks and I've been working backwards though my inbox.

I'm not clear form your post if you mean checkboxes or radio buttons. Please can you post the snippet from the Form HTML.

Bob
