Groups checkboxes on bbPress and comment form?

    Hi!
    I’m having a question that I can’t figure out the answer to.

    I’m having to groups on my list, where people can choose daily or weekly updates. I think I have managed to install it correctly on my form built with Contact Form 7, but how can I also make sure the visitor can choose between the two groupings in the bbPress forums of my page?

    I want to use checkboxes, like I do on the contact form 7 page linked below.

    Site in question: webbhjalp.se.
    Contact form 7 page: webbhjalp.se/kontakt/.
    bbPress forums: webbhjalp.se/forum.

    Thank you for a wonderful plugin by the way!

    P.S. I’m using the pro version of the plugin D.S.

    Ok, now I just realized something else:

    The contact form 7 doesn’t work as intended, I’ve tried all solutions I could find here, but without luck.

    One thing puzzles me, and that is this quote from the plugins FAQ page:

    Can I add a checkbox to third-party forms?
    Yes. Go to MailChimp for WP > Checkboxes and tick the “show checkbox at other forms (manual)” checkbox. Then, include a checkbox with name attribute mc4wp-try-subscribe and value 1 in your form.

    I cant find that checkbox, could this have something to do with it?

    I saw in a another thread that PRO users like myself could send you an email too, if you prefer that, let me know!

    Hi Jens,

    I just replied to your email but will reply here in case others are wondering the same thing.

    Can I add a checkbox to third-party forms?
    Yes. Go to MailChimp for WP > Checkboxes and tick the “show checkbox at other forms (manual)” checkbox. Then, include a checkbox with name attribute mc4wp-try-subscribe and value 1 in your form.

    This part from the FAQ is actually outdated, I removed the need to check a checkbox before this would work as all it did was add extra work for you, the end-user.

    To add GROUPINGS to your Contact Form 7 forms you can just copy the generated GROUPINGS HTML (while editing a form, with the “Add MailChimp field” select box at the right side of the screen) to your CF7 form mark-up and prefix all names with mc4wp-.

    Example

    <p>
	<label>
		<input type="radio" name="GROUPINGS[3577]" value="Radio group 1">
		<span>Radio group 1 </span>
	</label> 

	<label>
		<input type="radio" name="GROUPINGS[3577]" value="Radio group 2">
		<span>Radio group 2 </span>
	</label>
</p>

    Hope that helps – I will further help you over email as that tends to be a little faster. ??

    Thanks!

    Danny, first — thanks for this excellent plugin. Second, apologies for re-opening a “resolved” post, but the question in the OP isn’t actually resolved.

    The original question (and answer for which I’m searching) as stated in the OP title was about adding grouping options to the subscribe options in the comment (and bbPress) form.

    I found your Gist for adding grouping information to the comment form, though that doesn’t appear to actually generate any HTML checkbox options for the user to select.

    Looks like you have resolved this for someone else. Just found this Gist that does exactly what I was looking for.

    Thanks again Danny. Stellar work.
