Add multiple checkbox to contact form

[nbarnum]

I want to add a checkbox to the contact form.  They user could select more than one box.  I'm guessing I need some sort of foreach loop but I can only get it to post the last checked item and not the others.

 

In the front controller I have this in the postProcess function.

 

foreach(Tools::getValue('gcASGroup') as $gcASGroup);

 

I figure I'm missing something somewhere.

I once created some module where I wanted to select one or more features on a screen to do something with it.

 

I used this code. Maybe not optimized, but for tutorial's sake maybe useful.

 

 

public function getContent()

{

  $output = null;

 

  if (Tools::isSubmit('submit'.$this->name)) {

    // Get default language

    $default_lang = (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');

 

    // Store features to sort on

    $arrayIndex = 1;

    foreach (Feature::getFeatures($default_lang) as $feature)

      $featuresToStore[$arrayIndex] = (Tools::getValue('selectedFeatures_'.$arrayIndex++) != '' ? 

          $feature['id_feature'] : '');

 

    if (!$featuresToStore || empty($featuresToStore))

      $output .= $this->displayError($this->l('Invalid feature ID value. Check if features are defined'));

    else {

      Configuration::updateValue('PS_SORTGROUPSORT_FEATURES_SELECTED', implode('|', $featuresToStore));

      $output .= $this->displayConfirmation($this->l('Settings updated'));

    }

  }

  return $output.$this->displayForm();

}

 

 

public function displayForm()

{

  // Get default language

  $default_lang = (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');

 

  $fields_form[0]['form'] = array(

      'legend' => array(

          'title' => $this->l('Choose features to sort on'),   // title of screen

      ),

      'input' => array(

          array(

              'type' => 'checkbox',   // type is checkbox type

              'label' => $this->l('Sortgroup Elements'),   // name of input block on screen

              'name' => 'selectedElements',

              'multiple' => true,

              'values' => array(

                  'query' => Sortgroup::getElements($default_lang),  // get values to show

                  'id' => 'id_feature',  // field that is used for return value(s)

                  'name' => 'name'  // field used to display (feature name in my case)

              ),

              'hint' => $this->l('Select the sortgroups you want to use for sorting of your products.')

          ),

      ),

      'submit' => array(

          'title' => $this->l('Save'),

          'class' => 'button'

      )

  );

     

  $helper = new HelperForm();

     

  // Module, token and currentIndex

  $helper->module = $this;

  $helper->name_controller = $this->name;

  $helper->token = Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules');

  $helper->currentIndex = AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name;

     

  // Language

  $helper->default_form_language = $default_lang;

  $helper->allow_employee_form_lang = $default_lang;

     

  // Title and toolbar

  $helper->title = $this->displayName;

  $helper->show_toolbar = true;        // false -> remove toolbar

  $helper->toolbar_scroll = true;      // yes - > Toolbar is always visible on the top of the screen.

  $helper->submit_action = 'submit'.$this->name;

  $helper->toolbar_btn = array(

      'save' => array(

          'desc' => $this->l('Save'),

          'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&configure='.$this->name.'&save'.$this->name.

          '&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),

      ),

      'back' => array(

          'href' => AdminController::$currentIndex.'&token='.Tools::getAdminTokenLite('AdminModules'),

          'desc' => $this->l('Back to list')

      )

  );

     

  // Load currently selected values from ps_configuration table

  $storedFeatures = explode('|', Configuration::get('PS_FEATURESORT_FEATURES_SELECTED'));

  $arrayIndex = 0;

  foreach (Feature::getFeatures($default_lang) as $feature) {

    $arrayIndex++;

    $helper->fields_value['selectedFeatures_'.$arrayIndex] = ($storedFeatures[$arrayIndex-1] != '' ? true: false);

  }

  return $helper->generateForm($fields_form);

}

 

 

 

Hope this gives some idea how to use the checkbox.
