I searched first to see if this was already addressed and didn't find anything, Newbie to chrono forms and a graphics guy not a codered...so please go easy..lol..
I made a form, it works well, sends an email correctly, but I used the "checkbox Group" element as part of my form design, I choose to use 3 check boxes and renamed them to what i needed, on the live form it shows as i made it and works proper when a box is selected, however when a form is completed and submitted the email i recieve shows {project_selection} which is the title for the checkbox group, but it doesn't show which box was checked. what did i miss? Everything else works just fine. Also, how do I use and change the "Header" element put a header name on the form?...if all of this is in a manual and I missed it, just point me where i need to read.
Thanks, great product

Hi nls,

Sorry, there is no manual :-(

What name have you given to your checkboxes? Do they all have the same name?

If it is an array name like project_selection[] then you need to add an Handle Arrays action to convert the results into a list to display in the email. You may also want to configure the new Ghost option in CFv4 RC2.0 to handle the case when nothing is selected.

Do you mean the Header Text element? You can click the center 'spanner' icon on the element and add whatever HTML you like to the Code box.

Thank you for your help...I have to look into "handle arrays" not sure how that works, I don't know if i need the "ghost" feature, since the check boxes ask, what they are looking for..so if none is selected it would be ignored....thank you very much for your help, much appreciated
