   I have a number of checkbox fields on several different forms. When the form entries are emailed the checkbox fields include a dash ("-") in front of the selection. So if the user selected Option 1 in the checkbox field, it comes through on the email as "- Option 1".

   Is there a way to remove this dash on the email? I tried the solution presented here - http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/-in-subject-line?replies=7, but that doesn't seem to do anything. I'd like to not have to specify every field and element that I want to remove the dash for because it's a really long list.

   Thanks!

   The method in that link should work. Try to change these code for that post

   if($data['element_type'] == 'textarea'){
   	$template_values[$i] = nl2br($data['value']);
   } elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'checkbox' && $form_id == '16' && $data['element_id'] == '1' ) {
   	$template_values[$i] = str_replace('-',' ',$data['value']);
   }elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'file'){
   	if($target_is_admin === false){
   		$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value']);
   	}else{
   		$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value'],'<a>');
   	}
   }else{
   	$template_values[$i]	= $data['value'];
   }

   to

   if($data['element_type'] == 'textarea'){
   	$template_values[$i] = nl2br($data['value']);
   } elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'checkbox' ) {
   	$template_values[$i] = str_replace('-',' ',$data['value']);
   }elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'file'){
   	if($target_is_admin === false){
   		$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value']);
   	}else{
   		$template_values[$i] = strip_tags($data['value'],'<a>');
   	}
   }else{
   	$template_values[$i]	= $data['value'];
   }

   That would make the customization applied to all check box field type.
   if it still not work, you can send me your "helper-functions.php" file to :

   customer.service[at]appnitro.com

   I will help you to check it

   Thanks redityo. The modified code doesn't seem to be working still. I'll send you an email with my helper-functions.php file now.

   Hello,

   I am interested in achieving the same thing and have been trying to use the code as described and I also tried some additional changes but the dash won't disappear.

   The additional changes I made were in the code that appears on lines 372 - 386 in helper-functions.php,

   if($data['element_type'] == 'textarea'){
   $email_body .= "<b>{$data['label']}</b> ".nl2br($data['value'])."\n";
   }elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'checkbox' || $data['element_type'] == 'address'){
   $email_body .= "<b>{$data['label']}</b> ".$data['value']."\n";
   }elseif ($data['element_type'] == 'file'){
   if($target_is_admin === false){
   $data['value'] = strip_tags($data['value']);
   $email_body .= "<b>{$data['label']}</b> - {$data['value']} \n";
   }else{
   $data['value'] = strip_tags($data['value'],'<a>');
   $email_body .= "<b>{$data['label']}</b> ".$data['value']."\n";
   }
   }else{
   $email_body .= "<b>{$data['label']}</b> - {$data['value']} \n";
   }

   Any suggestions?

   Greetings

   Hi Yunair,

   My helper-functions.php is a clean file without any modifications.

   If I make the modification suggested the dash doesn´t disappear.

   I believe the dash comes from entry-functions.php, from line 370,
   

   $checkbox_content .= '- '.$option_label.'';

   If I remove that dash the dash doesn´t show in the email, without modifying anything else.

   I don´t know if removing that dash will affect anything else except for the email checkbox results.

   What do you think?

   Greetings.
