First I would like  to say thanks! You have provided great feedback to my previous questions.. and I am still investigating the plugin!

 

Is there anyway to change the a field in the form to a checkbox or multiple select (similar to the categories selection on the form).

I basically want to provide six predetermined “departments” for the department field of the form. Instead of the user writing the department in the text field, I would like the user to select multiple departments (like checkboxes).

 

I was able to do this:

$out .= ‘<label><input type=”checkbox” name=”department[]” value=”Dept. A”> ‘ . __(‘Department A’ , ‘connections_form’ ) . ‘:</label>’ . “\n”;

$out .= ‘<label><input type=”checkbox” name=”department[]” value=”Dept. B”> ‘ . __(‘Department B’ , ‘connections_form’ ) . ‘:</label>’ . “\n”;

This works with the Connections Form, but it will only record one of the two options selected. For example, if I select department A and department B… the Connections directory will only display department b.

 

 

Thanks again for all the help, and the great product support!!!!

The problem is most/all fields are not setup to store arrays. You would have to edit Connections throughout and to add support. I think the best that could be done is add radio inputs instead because that would limit it to a single value.
