removing the form name from fields in email

How can i set the e-mail not to appear in this formatt "Contact me_group_name"?
I know that by changing the fieldset or group label on the CSS form builder the value changes on the e-mail, but i want on the e-mail to only appear the label of the set, not the label of the fieldset or of the group. Can you please help me out with this>

the results on the e-mail look like this:

Form Submitted:
5-14-2010 | 2:51 PM CDT


fieldset group Name:
atan

fieldset group Last of SSN:
1111

fieldset group Age:
56

fieldset group DOB:
a

fieldset group Sex:
Male

fieldset group Home Address:
akdflakjdflkadfj

You can update the template for the email that you are using to get rid of the first part of the fields name. In the webassist > email > templates look for your template file then open it up and find the following piece of code with cmd+f:

<?php echo(str_replace("_"," ",$pkey)); ?>

update this code to be like this instead:

<?php echo(str_replace("fieldset group ", "", str_replace("_"," ",$pkey))); ?>

I think this will get rid of the name of the form element from the message body for you. Give this a try and let us know if you have any other troubles with it.

I did go ahead and replaced the blank.php file on the folder as suggested but still have the same issue.

this is how it looks on the e-mail side

Contact me group Dogs: None
Contact me group Cats: Inside
Contact me group Birds: Inside
Contact me group Horse: Outside

It looks like this is a different form, you could do something similar and use this code:

<?php echo(str_replace("Contact me group ", "", str_replace("fieldset group ", "", str_replace("_"," ",$pkey)))); ?>

The reason this happens is because the name of the form is prefixed to the name of the element. The code in the templates is setup to just loop over these values and print the form name and the value for it. The loop will only remove the underscores by default. Adding in this code makes it remove the underscores and the phrases "fieldset group " and "Contact me group ".

Another way you could do this would be to edit the template file and go to the bindings tab and add 'form data' then select the page that has the form on it. This will get the form bindings into the template page, now you can just drag and drop the form values where you would like to see them in the message. You can then make the label say whatever you would like it to say.

Thanks Eric, this works

Glad to hear it, let us know if you have any other questions.

Eric,

The problem that i am coming accross now is that the values on the check boxes do not appear once i custom build the form. All the rest of the values come in the correct manner but the checkboxes. i did bind the values of the checkboxes to "input value" but still nothing. If i use the default template it works just fine. I don't know what i'm doing wrong, please help.

It looks like you are using an array for the checkbox values. If you would like to see the values for the checkbox when it is an array like this you need to do some array manipulation.

The first thing that you should do is remove the brackets that are in the name of the posted element so it is like this:

$_POST["fieldset_group_Check_any_infection_you_had_in_the_past"]

If you had it like this you would see array() for the value of the checkbox fields. You need to manipulate this array to see all of the values in it. The easiest way to do this would be to implode the array. It would look like this:

<?php echo((isset($_POST["fieldset_group_Check_any_infection_you_had_in_the_past"]))?implode(", ", $_POST["fieldset_group_Check_any_infection_you_had_in_the_past"]):"") ?>

The implode function takes an array and a separator and makes a string of values separated by the separation characters you specify. Here is a link to the php page with more info:

php.net/implode

Hey this helped me out, thanks.

Glad to hear that. You can do some neat stuff in php with arrays and form elements, pretty powerful.
