I have been using Chronoforms in Jv1.5 and this piece of script has worked well (taken and modified from your Chronoforms book).

<?php
$action_req = JRequest::getString('input_radio_25','','post');
$emails=array (
'Further Action Required' => 'j@hpa.org.uk', 
);
$email_to_use = $emails[$action_req];
JRequest::setVar('email_to_use',$email_to_use);

$_POST['subject'] = "".$_POST['input_text_17'] 
?>

Moving to Joolmla 1.7 and latest version of chromoforms, it doesn't work. I have inserted into 'on submit' events as the first action.

Is the code still ok and/or is there something else that I need to do?
Thanks for any advice

Hi jonathangreen,

Max has changed the way that the form data is handled in CFv4. The JRequest::getVar() methods will work but ChronoForms no longer sees values set with JRequest::setVar().

Here's a modified version

<?php
$action_req = $form->data['input_radio_25'];
$emails = array (
  'Further Action Required' => 'j@hpa.org.uk'
);
$form->data['email_to_use'] = $emails[$action_req];
?>

Hi Bob
Thanks but still not working. Here is the debug information:

[input_radio_25] => FurtherActionRequired
[input_submit_9] => Submit
[efae061c20acfa4f65675be08e84a72d] => 1
[option] => com_chronoforms
[chronoform] => telelogger4
[event] => submit
[Itemid] =>
[email_to_use] =>
[_PLUGINS_] => Array
(

code is :

<?php
$action_req = $from->data['input_radio_25'];
$emails = array (
  'FurtherActionRequired' => 'j@hpa.org.uk'
);
$form->data['email_to_use'] = $emails[$action_req];
?>

So input_radio_25 has appropriate value (matches info on on submit code) but email to use is empty. Grateful for any thoughts? Thanks

Hi jinathangreen,

Sorry typo alert! This line should be $form->data (not $from->data)

$action_req = $form->data['input_radio_25'];
