Checkboxes - Email shows blank {fieldname}

Hi

All works fine with checkbox items in form when a user selects one of the checkboxes.

The problem: When no checkboxes are selected the field name shows in our email copy that is populating the data from the form.

e.g. Optional Functions: {functions}

History:
Experienced a similar issue that we've solved in past versions of chronoforms.
Added this to the On Submit box:

  <?php
    $check_array = array(
	  'function'
    );
    foreach ( $check_array as $v ) {
      $temp = JRequest::getString($v, '', 'post');
      JRequest::setVar($v, $temp);
    }
    ?>

Unfortunately, this is not working.
I had added to the On Submit box using Custom Server Side Validation action.


HTML looks like this:

                <input name="function[]" id="job" value="Job Posting/Recruitment" type="checkbox" />
                <input name="function[]" id="event_reg" value="Event Registration" type="checkbox" />
                <input name="function[]" id="calendar" value="Calendar" type="checkbox" />

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

If this is V4 and the form is created using the wizard then you should enable the "ghost" mode for the checkboxes, if you have a custom code form then you can add a hidden field before your checkboxes and give it the same name as your checkboxes, but without the []

Thanks Max.

I read the FAQ post about "Replace Nulls" in the "Email" Template box. That did the trick.

No problems, I forgot about the replace nulls setting!🙂
