Form processing results

Post by cwlutterloh »

I have a form built, it includes Editbox, comb box, check box, and radio buttons.

I have the results processing..

Name: $name <-- Edit box (working)
Phone: $phone <-- Edit box (working)
Burger type: $burgertype <-- Combo box (working)
Bread: $bread <-- Radio button (working)
Topping: $Bacon <--Checkbox
Topping: $Cheese <--Checkbox
Topping: $Onion <--Checkbox
Side item: $sideitem <-- Combo box (working)

The check boxes are where I'm having trouble. I don't want it to appear in the results if the checkbox wasn't checked.
Currently the results are coming back like this...

Name: Joe<-- Edit box (working)
Phone: 1234 <-- Edit box (working)
Burger type: Turkey Burger <-- Combo box (working)
Bread: white bun <-- Radio button (working)
Topping: Bacon <-- selected checkbox result looks correct
Topping: $Cheese <-- Did not select checkbox, results show variable (I want this whole line hidden if not selected in form)
Topping: $Onion <-- Did not select checkbox, results show variable (I want this whole line hidden if not selected in form)

Is there a way to exclude the unchecked checkboxes from the results?

I'm sorry, there is no standard solutions for that, it will require a custom script.

What if I change the line to...

Toppings: $bacon, $onion, $cheese

Is there a symbol I can add to exclude the result like "#$bacon" if left unchecked?

Or is there a way to do it the other way around have it display all the "Checked" checkboxes in the results?

I'm sorry, there is no standard option for that. if you want to filter results then you will need to write code to do that.

Hi cwlutterloh

I maybe able to assist you with this issue. I have a script I wrote some years ago that allows the value of a check box to be transfered over to a text area.
So when you get the results in your email it will only send what is in the textarea.
If you visit my website https://www.grahamscomputers.net and use my contact page I can then communicate with you and and get a demo up and running for you to look at.

Here is a link for a demo if you want to test it out.

https://shop.grahamscomputers.net/demo/ ... index.html

It can also be turned on so when you select a check box it will show below it what is going into the text area but I have got that set to hidden for now.

Make sure you use a valid email because it will send the results to that email address. You will/should get 2 emails as one will be the auto responder that the client would normally get as well
