Form field group names appended to email

Form field group names appended to email

Hi all,
I followed the tutorial about removing fields from the email template, but I can't quite figure out the code that is appending the field group names in front of the template field name. For instance, instead of just receiving the template with "Contact Reason" and then the data, I am receiving "Your Contact Information group Contact Reason" followed by the data and I can't find where the form field name is being concatenated to the form cell content. Pointers please?

That is coming from the form element name on the form page itself.

You can probably update it with a simple find and replace on the form page:

find: "Your_Contact_Information_group_Contact_Reason"
and replace it with the label you would like to see using underscores instead of spaces. Make sure to replace all instances of that on the page.

If you attach the page with the form I could be more specific.

Thanks, will try that

....but I don't understand how that will stop the email template from concatenating that new name to the static name on the form template...
the form lives at contact.php

The email is dynamically created based on the form element names. Try doing the find and replace on that contact.php page and you will see what I mean.

I see the form element: name="Your_Contact_Information_group_Contact_Reason"

If you did a find and replace on the page and replaced all occurrences of: Your_Contact_Information_group_Contact_Reason

with: Contact_Reason

Then I think the email would look how you want it.

Ray, Thanks, that solved the issue. I guess I missed the part of the interface where I can assign my own names to the form elements! Sorry for the slow reply; life has been---full!
