checkboxes not working properly

[monamoves]

Hi,

I have many checkboxes on my form that are showing up as strings in the settings. I just want the person filling out the form to be able to check more than one option on my form as I indicated in html (input type="checkbox"). What I am seeing, once the form is filled out, is nothing for those checkboxes. In the settings I have field type: checkboxes, field size: medium, sort as: string. How do I change this? I am not offered any appropriate options when I try to edit them.

Many thanks!

Are you using the Formbuilder module, or is this an html form? Or is it an internal form?

Hi Alex!

I made the form in html beforehand.

I did some research and I think I'm supposed to put in brackets in the input tags like this: <input type="checkbox" name="anyevent[]" value="anyevent" class="volun" />. I'm going to try that and see if that works. Do you know if that'll make a difference?

Thanks!

if the checkboxes are displaying correctly on the HTML form you will then need to set them up on the backend. You will need to set up options that match the checkboxes on your HTML form.
