Values in radio buttons

[cheyennemtnman]

How can I get the values recorded in the table instead of the labels?

Update: after I exported csv... I see values are recorded in the "_raw" of each element...
is that the case always?

The reason I ask... I have radio buttons where a label shares the same characters...
When I view the list view for the form, I just get the labels.... no values show on the list

I have 10 questions with the same rating point system for each...

Labels: | Needs Development | +/- | Meets | +/- | Exceeds |

Values: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

I want to total all of the responses by the values once they submit the form...
from what I see I would use the "_raw" for each radio button element... correct?

In fabrik we record the values in the db and display the labels in list/details/form views.

That's not to say that the values are not accessibly, just that for display purposes the labels make more sense.

For this you would use a php form plugin:

say you have 3 radio elements, called listname___radio1, listname___radio2 and listname___radio3, with values 1,2,3 and labels one,two,three.
And you want to total these and update a element 'listname___total'. You're php code would look like:

$radio1 = (int) '{listname___radio1_raw}';
$radio2 = (int) '{listname___radio2_raw}';
$radio3 = (int) '{listname___radio3_raw}';
$total = $radio1 + radio2 + $radio3;

$formModel->updateFormData('listname___total', $total, true);

I've added this one to the wiki as its a pretty common task that others may want to use as well:

I'm not sure if you needed to know anything else regarding the csv export, or if that was just an introduction to the issue you had regarding values vs labels?
