The Choices are English, Spanish, and Other. When using the "gform_post_submission" hook, I read the values from $entry[16.1], $entry[16.2], and $entry[16.3]. This all works great. Users can select One, Two, or all Three Choices.</p> <p>Now though, when attempting to pre-populate through PHP, I've run into a wall where the "Parameter Name" (in the from UI) only takes one value... It's it just a hard limitation that only One choice can be pre-populated? Or am I missing something else entirely? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hw-to-pre-populate-checkboxes#post-6190 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:18:47 +0000 jonnocohen 6190@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Aha, thanks for that! I've spent the past 2 hours messing with different Boolean operators and trying to work out what I was doing wrong.</p> <p>I've used the lengthy description as a bit of a CSS workaround/hack, but the actual label is hidden, so I can use that.</p> <p>Thanks again, and for the speedy response! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hw-to-pre-populate-checkboxes#post-6189 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:07:38 +0000 Carl Hancock 6189@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You populate it the same way. You would pass connecting= in your query string and pass the full value of that checkbox. Until we implement separate label/value options for drop down/checkboxes and radio buttons you would have to pass the full label name for the checkbox you want to check.</p> <p>For example:</p> <p><a href="http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za/sign-up/?username=Bob&amp;emailaddress=bob@bob.com&amp;connecting=Connecting%20with%20the%20Chief%20Rabbi,%20sent%20out%20approximately%2010%20times%20a%20year,%20focuses%20on%20topical%20issues%20from%20a%20Torah%20perspective" rel="nofollow">http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za/sign-up/?username=Bob&amp;emailaddress=bob@bob.com&amp;connecting=Connecting%20with%20the%20Chief%20Rabbi,%20sent%20out%20approximately%2010%20times%20a%20year,%20focuses%20on%20topical%20issues%20from%20a%20Torah%20perspective</a></p> <p>Please note that the %20 is escaping the blank space in the string. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hw-to-pre-populate-checkboxes#post-6187 Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:46:32 +0000 jonnocohen 6187@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a simple form that pops up in a FancyBox iFrame to allow users to sign up for one (or both) of the two newsletters on offer. <a href="http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za/sign-up/" rel="nofollow">Here's the page that gets iFramed</a>. The pop-up is triggered by clicking the yellow Post-it in the sidebar <a href="http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>Now the emails that go out to subcribers have links to subscribe, unsubscribe, and to subscribe to the list *other* than the one they're on (i.e. you get a mail from List 1 but it has a link to subscribe to List 2 also).</p> <p>I'm using links with query strings in the emails so someone who clicks on a link to subscribe to List 1 will get a form with their name and email filled in, and the List 1 checkbox checked.</p> <p>The name and email are populating as expected (<a href="http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za/sign-up/?username=Bob&amp;emailaddress=bob@bob.com)" rel="nofollow">http://www.chiefrabbi.co.za/sign-up/?username=Bob&amp;emailaddress=bob@bob.com)</a>, but I don't know how to get the checkbox pre-checked. The parameter I'm using for now for the first checkbox is 'connecting'. How do I specify this in the query string? &amp;connecting=checked, &amp;connecting=true, &amp;connecting=yes all do nothing.</p> <p>What's the correct syntax? </p>
