Thank you!</p> <p>The best solution to your problem will be to use one of our hooks and manually save your checkbox in user meta. You will want to use the gform_user_registered hook.</p> <p>Following is an example to get you started:<br /> <a href="http://pastie.org/6473051" rel="nofollow">http://pastie.org/6473051</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-checkbox-selections-into-custom-usermeta#post-169197 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 22:05:49 +0000 Chris Hajer 169197@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'll flag this one for the development team to take a look at. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/save-checkbox-selections-into-custom-usermeta#post-169119 Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:41:28 +0000 batterystudios 169119@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>1 - Here is a screenshot of the form I am referring to:<br /> <a href="http://screencast.com/t/wtybC77Jl" rel="nofollow">http://screencast.com/t/wtybC77Jl</a></p> <p>2 - As you can see, we have multiple checkboxes in a single field entry, and we want to save them into a custom usermeta field: See screenshot: <a href="http://screencast.com/t/nGz8Ssoq" rel="nofollow">http://screencast.com/t/nGz8Ssoq</a></p> <p>3 - However, in the Forms &gt; User Registration admin screen the terms themselves (checkbox options) show up as individual options, with no option to store all of the checkbox data in a single field: See screenshot: <a href="http://screencast.com/t/RNBVtk4ceuMN" rel="nofollow">http://screencast.com/t/RNBVtk4ceuMN</a></p> <p>Can you please advise me on what the best way is to store data from an array of checkboxes into the usermeta, either as multiple keys or a serialized array?</p> <p>Should i create a custom filter instead of using built in functions? If so, how do I save that when the form is submitted?</p> <p>Any help you can provide will be most appreciated.</p> <p>[ EDIT ] I am using:<br /> Gravity Forms latest version (1.6.12)<br /> User Reg. add-on V. 1.5.beta1</p> <p>Note - I am a php programmer so custom coding options are most welcome ~ if this feature is already being worked on, it would be helpful to know what progress you have made so far. thx </p>
