Could it be a missing:

[[!FormItRetriever]]

- before the FormIt call?

Maybe this old thread can help:

Thanks for reply, Henrik. Added [[!FormItRetriever]] before the FormIt call. No change in result :/

This works for me:

<input type="checkbox" id="subscribe" name="subscribe" value="Yes" [[!+fi.subscribe:FormItIsChecked=`Yes`]] />

Thanks, Henrik. Puzzling as it's not working here with this in contactForm chunk:

...
<div class="row">
	<div class="form-group short">
		<div class="col-md-12">
			<label>Your email address *</label>
			<input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="col-md-12 form-control" maxlength="100" value="">
			<label class="checkbox-inline small">
				<input type="checkbox" id="subscribe" name="subscribe" value="Yes" [[!+fi.subscribe:FormItIsChecked=`Yes`]]>Receive our special offers by email
			</label>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
...

and simply this in contactFormTpl chunk:

<p>Subscribe: #[[+subscribe]]#</p>

Output: 'Subscribe: #Yes#' when checkbox checked and 'Subscribe: #Yes#' when checkbox unchecked.

Any thoughts? Anyone? [ed. note: craigphiz last edited this post 11 years, 6 months ago.]

It's working!

In the ajax script I changed the line that passes the checkbox value.

"subscribe": $("#contactFormModal #subscribe").val(),

changed to:

"subscribe": $("#contactFormModal #subscribe:checked").val(),

Hope this helps someone. Thanks all for your support!

I found your post when I was looking to see how to retrieve checkbox values. The coding looked wrong, so I experimented based on how FormIt works with radio buttons (i.e. Select tags).

Here's the reference for Select: http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/formit/formit.hooks/formit.hooks.email

Here is what works (I've just copy-and-pasted my own code so I wouldn't make errors coding it for your situation). Just change this example appropriately.

<input type="checkbox" id="banquet" name="banquet" value="Will not attend banquet" [[!+fi.banquet:FormItIsChecked=`Will not attend banquet`]] />
