Hello

I am trying to save data from a SafeCraker form to a channel and actually I am able to save most of the data but checkbox field data.

The code I am using is like this:

-------------------
{exp:safecracker channel="contacto" return="contacto/confirmacion" preserve_checkboxes="yes" rules:contacto_email="valid_email"}
.
.
.     

{options:contacto_recibir_correos}
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value="{contacto_recibir_correos}" name="{contacto_recibir_correos}[]" id="{contacto_recibir_correos}" checked />
<label>{option_value}</label>
{/options:contacto_recibir_correos}

.
.
.
     
{/exp:safecracker}
-------------------

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Hi jhonfields,

Indeed!

Inside the options loop, you need to use the available variable names, like so:

{options:contacto_recibir_correos}
<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value="{option_value}" name="{option_name}[]" id="{option_name}"{selected} />
<label>{option_value}</label>
{/options:contacto_recibir_correos}

That should get you on the right track!

Cheers,

Hello Dan

Tanks for your help. unfortunately the options you suggested does not solve out my problem, I am still unable to save the “selected or unselected” checkbox option in my channel.

This is the URL of the form. http://198.170.128.123/contacto/
```
{options:contacto_recibir_correos}<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value="{option_value}" name="{option_name}[]" id="{option_name}" {selected} /><label>{option_value}</label>{/options:contacto_recibir_correos}
```
Thanks in advance.

Hey jhonfields,

Can I see the form in context?

Are you enclosing these in any logic? See here.

Hello Shane

Off course Shane, this is the complete form code:

<div class="content">
   <div class="contact-form">
    <h3>Forma de contacto</h3>
<p>    <div class="image"><br />
     {site_url}css/images/contact-image.jpg<br />
    </div><br />
    <form id="comment-form" action="" method="post"><br />
    {exp:safecracker channel="contacto" return="contacto/confirmacion" preserve_checkboxes="yes" rules:contacto_email="valid_email"}<br />
     <label>nombre</label><br />
     <input type="text" class="field" id="nombre" name="title" value="{title}" /></p><br />
     <label>email</label><br />
     <input type="text" class="field" id="email" name="contacto_email" value="{contacto_email}" /></p><br />
     <br />
     <textarea class="field" name="contacto_comentario" id="{contacto_comentario}" title="su pregunta o comentario">su pregunta o comentario</textarea><br />
      <label>Seleccione el tipo de pregunta o comentario:</label><br />
      <select class="field" name="contacto_tipo" id="contacto_tipo"><br />
         {options:contacto_tipo}<br />
         <option value="{option_value}">{option_name}</option><br />
         {/options:contacto_tipo}<br />
         </select><br />
     </p>

<p>     {options:contacto_recibir_correos}<input type="checkbox" class="checkbox" value="{option_value}" name="{option_name}[]" id="{option_name}" {selected} /><label>{option_value}</label>{/options:contacto_recibir_correos}<br />
     <br />
     {if captcha}<br />
           <label for="captcha">Por favor ingrese la palabra de la siguiente imagen: </label></p>

<p>           {captcha}</p>

<p>           <input type="text" name="captcha" value="{captcha_word}" maxlength="20" class="field">/p><br />
     {/if}<br />
     <input type="submit" class="submit" value="enviar" /></p><br />
     <div class="cl"> </div><br />
    {/exp:safecracker}<br />
    </form><br />
   </div> <br />
  </div>

Thanks again

Hi Jhon,

What if you follow this form?

{if checkbox}
                {options}
                        <label class="checkbox">{option_value}
                                <input type="checkbox" id="{field_name}" name="{field_name}[]" value="{option_value}"{checked}>
                        </label>
                {/options}
        {/if}

Are you using custom fields per the directions here?

Thanks,
Shane
