checkboxes group

Hi,
I am using Joommla 2.5, I have a form that i created in CF.
I have in this form a checkboxes group field, whenever the user choose a value or multiple value, nothing is written in the table for this field!
i verified the name and all the options, nothing wrong.

P.S: how can I, through joomla screens, see the actual structure of the table that I am writing on?

many thanks

Hi wissam.abdo,

Please see this FAQ

PS I suggest that you don't use your email address as a username here as it is publicly visible. If you PM me with an alternative I can change it for you.

I checked all the points referenced in the FAQ list, it's all ok for me.
i'm wondering why it is not saved in the table, adding to this i have 3 fields in this table of type checkboxes group and for all of them i have this issue.
Attach a printscreen of my config fields.

thanks in advance

here is the script of the table, the 3 fields are English French Spanish:

Hi wissam.abdo,

Have you added a Handle Arrays action to your form On Submit event?

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab.

Bob

thanks.

here is the result. it's ok but no data for these 3 fields in the table !

Hi wissam.abdo,

I see 'Anglais' in the form data but there is no input named 'English' returning a result.

Bob

Hi wissam.abdo,

There's something very odd about the sequence of events I think. Do you have the Handle Arrays action *after* the DB Save action? It needs to be before it.

Bob

thanks for the response.
ok, i put the debugger before, here is what i have:

Hi [email]wissam.abdo@usj.edu.lb[/email],

If you look at the results you'll see that you are translating the **names** of the Checkboxes, change the names or the values so that the names are not changed.

Bob

sorry i didn't well understand what you said. anyway i changed the value nothing change, i changed the name nothing changed. same issue.

thanks

Hi [email]wissam.abdo@usj.edu.lb[/email],

What entries do you have in your Multi-language aactions?

Bob

originally:

English=Anglais
French=Francais
Spanish=Espagnol
Read=Lu
Understand=Compris
Speak=Parlé
Write=Ecrit

Hi wissam.abdo,

You have in your form a checkbox with HTML something like this

<input type='checkbox' name='English' id='English' value='English' /><label for='English'>English</label>

so in the translated version this becomes

<input type='checkbox' name='Anglais' id='Anglais' value='Anglais' /><label for='Anglais'>Anglais</label>

when all you really want to change is the label text.

If you change the Label to ##English## and then put

##English##=English

and

##English##=Anglais

it will just translate the label text.

Bob

thanks, it works
