Does not save data for Productfield Checkboxes within Table Element

I've gotten a little further with this. It's the checkboxes that are causing the troubles. So I've edited the title a bit.

1. When I put radio buttons within a Table Element: image attached: wradiobuttons.png
I can submit the form and all is well - all data are stored.

2. NEXT, in Option settings for desert checking the box Multiple (values will let users select multiple items in this list) - so the form now looks like:
with Checkboxes: image attached: wcheckboxes.png
Upon submit produces these warnings (below) and does NOT store the data [sorry didn't see warnings before - had switched them off in preparation for a demo]. All I see in my submission Email (or Results) is the selections for the Size (which are still radio buttons) and a heading Desert -> but NO values for it.

I worked on this some more and found that when I clone the "Size" element from #1 -> (gave it a new field key) -> an dragged it outside the Table Element -> data for that element outside of the Table Element are stored as expected.

I also just looked at Webform Commerce -> as presumably these school lunches are going to be paid for. Similar thing: if I have the SKU element outside of the Table Element all is well. If I place the SKU element within a Table Element - I get notices/warnings and the data that are collected there are not stored.

Staring to perhaps look like some elements can be placed within a Table Element - and some can not (yet)? I'm willing to put some time into this. But if you think I'm on the wrong track (and checkboxes/SKUs should work as is) then please let me know.

Thanks,

Thanks for this!

I tried to reproduce your Select Test. Figuring that would be a good start to figure out why checkbox data isn't stored.

Details:
1. grabbed the latest dev for Table Element (7.x-1.6+2-dev) [based on your other post - you're working w/ the -dev, corrrect?]
2. disabled "Options Element", "Multicolumn checkboxes radios" and "Select (or Other)" modules to ensure absolutely nothing is running interference
3. checked version for Webform:7.x-3.18

Screenshots:
1. collage: my select_test.png: view / webform and the three components of the webform
The only difference I can see - is that I have a "Multiple" option -> I've marked it with a red square. If I leave it unchecked -> I get a radio button. If I check it I get a checkbox instead of a radio button. What version of Webform are you using?
2. results: select_test_results: before and after I hit Submit. I'm getting a notice and it's not saving any result (staying on the view screen). The field keys are different so the notice isn't the result of that [wish it was - then mystery solved].

This is starting to drive me bananas - but then I enjoy a good puzzle. Did I miss anything recreating your Select Test?

Ok, I ended up with plan B - should have likely been plan A from the start - since all I'm trying to do is to make a table with checkboxes. I've ditched Webform Table Element - it's just having too much difficulty to store data - even for very simple webform nodes.

plan B involved taking the webform-form.tpl.php that is supplied with Webform module and copying that into the theme you're using to render the webform page. If you're using a system default theme - then first create a proper sub theme - then apply that as your default theme to render the webform. Rename the tpl file to webform-form-[nid].tpl.php if you only want to style one of your webforms. You must clear your caches before Drupal will know that you now have a custom tpl to render your webform.

In the tpl you can place all elements of $form anywhere you want. I've put them in table th td and tr to create my grid of productfield (Commerce Webform) checkboxes. Many themes already have default colouring of rows, so simply apply classes (e.g. in a seven-based sub theme: class="odd" and class="even") to quickly make a very nice looking table.

Devel and Theme Developer module in particular are very handy modules to inspect the $form - so that you can figure out what to put where in your table.

@Milado - I'd be happy to.

$form is an array that contains everything there is to know about the form.

Make sure you disable the rendering of $form['submitted'] as they can only be rendered once
<!-- <?php //print drupal_render($form['submitted']); ?>-->

Then underneath that - start with something like:
<?php print_r($form['submitted']); ?>

Reload your webform node and you'll start to get a good idea of what's all in the array that you can grab and theme.

I'll share what I have at the moment. It's producing (attached).

<!--  // Print out the main part of the form.-->
<!--  // Feel free to break this up and move the pieces within the array.-->
<!--  <?php //print drupal_render($form['submitted']); ?>-->

<?php $allformdata = $form; ?>

<!-- need to figure out how many rows we have -->

<?php
  $submitted = $form['submitted'];

  print_r('<table>');

  print_r('<tr>');
  print_r('<th>&nbsp;</th>');
  print_r('<th>Half-order</th>');
  print_r('<th>Full-order</th>');
  print_r('<th>Milk</th>');
  print_r('<th>Soy Milk</th>');
  print_r('<th>Mixed Fruit</th>');
  print_r('</tr>');

  $i=0;

  foreach ( $submitted as $key => $submitted_entries ) {
     if (isset($submitted[$key]['#webform_component']['type']) == 'productfield'){

       if ($i % 2){
         $rowclass = 'odd';
       } else {
         $rowclass = 'even';
       }

       //print_r($submitted[$key]['#webform_component']['name']);
       print_r('<tr class=' . $rowclass . '>');

       $day = $submitted[$key]['#webform_component']['name'];
       print_r('<td><b>');print_r($day);print_r('</b></td>');

       $all_product_ids = $submitted[$key]['#webform_component']['extra']['items'];
       foreach ( $all_product_ids as $product => $products ) {
         print_r('<td>');
         print_r('<b>');
         print_r($all_product_ids[$product]['sku']);
         print_r('</b>');
         print drupal_render($form['submitted'][$key][0][$product]);
         print_r('</td>');
       }
       print_r('</tr>');
     }
    $i=$i+1;
  }
  print_r('</table>');
?>

<!-- // Always print out the entire $form. This renders the remaining pieces of the -->
<!-- // form that haven't yet been rendered above. -->
<?php print drupal_render_children($form); ?>

@Milado - you're welcome. Let me know if you need more details. Many more .tpl.php files come w/ Webform module so you can do the same with the other screens, like View Submission. For someone new to Drupal you're doing just fine.

@attiks - thanks for paying attention to this issue now - you had 3 people reporting they can't save checkbox data :-) It will be indeed be very useful for many to be able to do this from the Webform GUI. I hope you can get this to work properly.

@attiks - would you like me to test this w/ productfield checkboxes?

Ok, will do.

Sorry - still not working at all with a table of productfield checkboxes. The form doesn't even get submitted.

I can recreate the table I posted in #18: lunchtpl.png.

Getting plenty of Notices (30x2) - so 4 Notices per checkbox

Notice: Undefined index: #title in _table_element_expand_rows() (line 119 of /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Local/commerce/sites/all/modules/webform_table_element/webform_table_element.module).
Notice: Undefined index: #title in _table_element_expand_rows() (line 131 of /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/Local/commerce/sites/all/modules/webform_table_element/webform_table_element.module).

Critical is that absolutely nothing happens upon form submission (Add to cart) . So there are no troubles rendering the view table node - but that's all it really does here. I'll need to continue to theme my own table using the tpl.php files.

Yes - of course - I knew about the POST - ok, I've added a Name field - I can now hit Add to cart to get to a next screen - but I can't get it to store info for the checkboxes (and it doesn't get into the shopping cart). I'm using productfield checkboxes - by Webform Commerce module. So no - they are not ordinary checkboxes. Still if you can render the view node properly - there should be a way to store the data that are entered - regardless of what field originally created the element, not?
