Error Checkboxes ( multi-option ) Field Type

I am adding custom fields to my registration form with s2Member Pro and have run into an issue with the Checkboxes ( multi-option ) form field type.

When I enter my options into the Option Configuration File field, one per line as instructed and then save, everything ends up on one line with an “n” separating the items that were previously on separate lines.

Example:

I enter this into the field…

Primary Immune Deficiency|Primary Immune Deficiency
Neuromuscular Disorders|Neuromuscular Disorders
Hemophilia|Hemophilia
Other Blood Disorders|Other Blood Disorders
Other Disease States|Other Disease States

Then save. And I get this…

Primary Immune Deficiency|Primary Immune DeficiencynNeuromuscular Disorders|Neuromuscular DisordersnHemophilia|HemophilianOther Blood Disorders|Other Blood DisordersnOther Disease States|Other Disease States

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

That sounds like another plugin conflicting with s2Member, or perhaps even some badly coded JavaScript in the WordPress theme that you’re using.

I just tested creating a multi-checkbox using the Custom Registration Fields and copy/pasted your example above and then saved, and the lines remained as they were when I pasted them.

I suggest trying to disable other plugins until the problem is resolved and/or switching to the default WordPress theme (e.g., TwentyEleven) to see if that fixes the problem.

Raam, thanks for the quick response!

My site is live and very active. Before disabling functionality, do you think you can take a quick look at the list of active plugins on the site and let me know if any are more likely to be the culprit?

Current theme: TwentyTen

Thanks!

Nothing stands out as a plugin known to be incompatible, but I’d try starting with TinyMCE Advanced.

I figured out a workaround instead…

If you add a \ at the end of each line it formats correctly. I guess it completes the javascript new line character that is somehow getting misformatted by the conflict.

Example:

Primary Immune Deficiency|Primary Immune Deficiency\
Neuromuscular Disorders|Neuromuscular Disorders\
Hemophilia|Hemophilia\
Other Blood Disorders|Other Blood Disorders\
Other Disease States|Other Disease States

Interesting! Thank you for sharing your solution. I’m glad you got it working. :)
