QuoteDear Oliver, thank you for the effort you have put into this plugin as well as supporting us users.
Is it possible to have the “multiple select box”-values inserted into the subject line in a predetermined syntax?
Say for example that a multi select box is defined with the following values (following your help-guide) red, blue, green, yellow, orange.
If a user selects for example red and green I would like the email subject to become:
Subject: [red] [green]
Is it possible to get the values in bracket like this?
I tried to follow your help guide as well as the following thread:
http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-forum?forum=3&topic=146&page=1&search=1
Your help is much appreciated.

A quick way – if you don't mind having the brackets also in the email body (and possibly in the cforms tracking tables) – would be to show
red, blue, green…
to the user, but defining the actual associated values with brackets:
[red], [blue], [green]…
Again, the only drawback would be that these are the values then that get transmitted and recorded.
E.g.
Your pick#red|[red]#blue|[blue]#green|[green]…

Thank you for the quick reply.
Will the values be seperated with only a "space"-character, using the suggested method?
Like this, Subject:[red] [green]

I think there is a comma inbetween, to change that, you may have to modify some code in cforms.php (~1135) for the non ajax:
if ( count($all_options) > 0)
$value = implode(',', $all_options);
see the comma?
And for the ajax version in js/cforms.src.js (~489):
for (z=0;z<objColl[i].length; z++) {
if (objColl[i].childNodes[z].selected) {
all_child_obj = all_child_obj + objColl[i].childNodes[z].value.replace(regexp, '$') + ','
}
}
same here, replace the comma with a space.
Further, this javascript file (cforms.src.js) you need to rename to cforms.js and thus replace the existing one with this new, updated one.

From the example on multiple select boxes, I can't get mine to work. I'm using this syntax:
Subject#Feedback#Reviews#Advertiser
TIA

I checked with the online HELP and yes your syntax is correct.
