eMember – Choose multiple options in the registration form

[creative5designs]

Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere before, but I can’t seem to find the answer. I need to able to let users choose more than one option for a couple of questions on the registration form. For example question one will have option 1, option 2 and option 3 – I need them to be able to choose either just option 1 or option 1 and 3. I can’t seem to get this to work with the drop-down or checkbox options. Am I missing something?

Hi, not sure if it will help but you can set up a drop-down option with 3 answers for each question. For example:

Question 1

Field Name my_custom_question1

Field Type Dropdown List

Extra Field Info  1=>answer1,2=>answer2,3=>answer3

Display Order 1

Question 2

Field Name my_custom_question2

Field Type Dropdown List

Extra Field Info  1=>answer1,2=>answer2,3=>answer3

Display Order 1

Question 3

Field Name my_custom_question3

Field Type Dropdown List

Extra Field Info  1=>answer1,2=>answer2,3=>answer3

Display Order 1

And so on.

If you really need your customer to select a particular question you can set it to “Required” (the form can’t be submitted until they select that one). Otherwise they are optional anyway.

Thanks for responding. I do understand the info above, but I need them to be able to select more than one answer for the question. For example:

For the question: Favorite Pet?

The choices could be: cat, dog, bird, fish

I’d like them to be able to select either just one answer (i.e. cat) or multiple answers (i.e. cat, dog, bird)

Is this possible?

I see… you need a group of checkboxes for one field. We don’t have an option for that. We are currently working on creating an addon that allows a user to configure more robust custom fields for registration. Once that addon is complete, we should be able to handle this scenario.

Thanks for the info. Any ideas as to when the add-on would be available?

We are hoping that it will be complete in 2 weeks.

Update: This eMember addon is now ready:
