[snippet] WebSignup: multiple groups

117 Posts

Hi all

Anyone that has read my previous posts will know I’m not great at code undecided

- hence my question:

I have created a web group called ’Newsletter’ and would like to tweak my WebSignup snippet form (parameter: &groups=`Registered Users`) so that the last question is ’Check here to ALSO join Newsletter group’.

How do I script a checkbox so that if they want to join Newsletters too, modx knows to add them to multiple groups?

Help, advice, guesses, all gratefully accepted.

Cheers, 0

Which version of WebSignup are you using?

I have version 1.1 here and I would do the following:

1. Modify the WebSignup chunk to include a checkbox in the form, with a name like "join_newsletter"
2. Modify the WebSignup snippet to add a few lines after the following code:

# setup web groups
$groups = isset($groups) ? explode(',',$groups):array();
for($i=0;$i<count($groups);$i++) $groups[$i] = trim($groups[$i]);

additional code:

if (isset($join_newsletter)) {
   $groups[] = 'Newsletter';
}

Sorry, I made a mistake. Please try this instead:

if (isset($_POST['join_newsletter'])) {
   $groups[] = 'Newsletter';
}

There are so many great PHP tutorials available that I haven’t bought any books for years.
