Using 3.2.7, is it possible to get multiple checkbox responses from a single field to show in the registration email as new lines for each option selected?
Ideally, I would like the responses to be listed in the same way that the field does in the registration form when the "New lines" option is selected for that field.
If it is possible, how do I do it?
At present, all selected options run together, as a paragraph of text.
Thanks, Peter

We are modifying this for the next update, as it definitely makes more sense to display in emails on new lines. You can make these changes and get that:

/administrator/components/com_dtregister/lib/tagparser.php

Around line 192, BEFORE this line:

$tagvalues = $fieldTable->$function((array)$recipient,null,'',false);

Add this code:

if(is_callable(array($fieldTable,'emailView'))){
						  $function = 'emailView';
					  }

Then in this file:

/administrator/components/com_dtregister/models/field.php

Around line 2100, BEFORE this:

function getkeyByValue($value=array()){

Add this code:

function emailView($obj=null,$event=null,$form='',$overlimitdisable=false){

		 if(!is_array($this->values)){

		    $this->values = explode('|',$this->values);

		 }

		 $selected = array();
         
		 if(!isset($obj['fields'][$this->id])|| $obj['fields'][$this->id] ==  null){

			return false;

		 }

	     if (count($this->values) > 0) {
         foreach($this->values as $key=>$value){

		 if(!is_array($obj['fields'][$this->id])){

		   	$obj['fields'][$this->id] = explode("|",$obj['fields'][$this->id]);

		 }

		    if(in_array($key,$obj['fields'][$this->id])){

				$selected[] = $value;

		     }	 

		 }
         }
         
	     return implode("<br /> \n ",$selected); 

   }

That should get you what you are wanting. Thanks!

I think it makes the formatting of the email response much better, particularly if there are commas in the various selected options.
