I have been trying to use the CGBetterForms module with checkboxes.

<input id="1b-1" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="New business"/><span>New business</span>
<input id="1b-2" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="Renewals"/><span>Renewals</span>
<input id="1b-3" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="Claims"/><span>Claims</span>
<input id="1b-4" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="Accounts"/><span>Accounts</span>
<input id="1b-5" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="Compliance"/><span>Compliance</span>
<input id="1b-6" type="checkbox" class="" name="purpose[]" value="Administration"/><span>Administration</span>

however the results do not look right, in some cases I managed to get Array as a result and when using a Foreach loop I just got the first letter i.e.
N
R
C
A
C
A

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$_purpose item=item}{$item.value}<br />{/foreach}

I am sure there is a solution but the user guide doesn't show anything about results delivery via email and .csv file creation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

OK this is now fixed, after some experimenting I used implode to display the array of checked inputs.
For the email results

Code: Select all

{if !empty($purpose)}<p><strong>1b. For what purpose do you use it?:</strong> {implode('<br />',$purpose)}</p>{/if}

For the flat file csv

Code: Select all

"{if !empty($purpose)}{implode('+',$purpose)}{/if}"

There isn't any documentation for results rendering and checkbox groups, hope this helps someone.
