Contact form email template - Array

Question

If I have a checkbox on the contact form how do I pull these values into the email template.

My form looks like

<li>
    <label for="telephone">Contact Method</label>
    <div class="input-box">
       <input type="checkbox" name="contact_method[]" value="Telephone"> Telephone<br>
       <input type="checkbox" name="contact_method[]" value="Email"> Email<br>
    </div>
 </li>

However if I do

Contact Method: {{var data.contact_method}}

The value comes out as array

Answer 1

Magento doesn't allow to use array in email variable.So change checkbox html as below.

<input type="checkbox" name="contact_method_tel" value="Telephone"> Telephone<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="contact_method_email" value="Email"> Email<br>

Now use depend condition (can also use if/else) in email template based on below checkbox selection as below.

{{depend data.contact_method_tel}}
    {{var data.contact_method_tel}} //show telephone if checked
{{/depend}}
{{depend data.contact_method_email}}
    {{var data.contact_method_email}} //show email if checked
{{/depend}}
