Select Posts from checkboxes

Hi,

I made a form which shows all posts of a category and these posts should be able to be selected by checkboxes. I found a php code here on the Support site, but it was ment for dropdown-Selections, which shows the titles of the posts in the option fields.

The Posts are correctly shown on my site and I’m also able to check the checkboxes, but when I send the form, the names don’t appear in the submitted e-mail.

This is the code (functions.php), that I found:

wpcf7_add_shortcode('postdropdown', 'createbox', true);
function createbox(){
global $post;
$args = array('numberposts' => 0, 'category' => 5 );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
$output = "<select name='cursus' id='cursus' onchange='document.getElementById(\"cursus\").value=this.value;'><option></option>";
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
	$title = get_the_title();
	$output .= "<option value='$title'> $title </option>";

	endforeach;
$output .= "</select>";
return $output;
}

and this is my Version:

<?php wpcf7_add_shortcode('postdropdown', 'createbox', true);
function createbox(){
global $post;
$args = array('numberposts' => 0, 'category' => 3 );
$myposts = get_posts( $args );
$output = '<table id="mietwohnungen">
   <tr>
    <th>&nbsp; </th>
    <th width="150">Ort</th>
    <th width="150">Fotos</th>
    <th width="360">Beschreibung</th>
    <th width="100">Gr&ouml;sse</th>
    <th>Euro</th>
   </tr>';
foreach ( $myposts as $post ) : setup_postdata($post);
	$content = get_the_content();
	$title = get_the_title();
	$ort = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Ort', true);
	$groesse = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Gr??e', true);
	$Kaufpreis = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Kaufpreis', true);
	$output .= "<tr><td> <input type='checkbox' name='$title' /> </td>
				 <td>$ort</td>
				 <td colspan='2'>$content</td>
				 <td>$groesse</td>
				 <td>$Kaufpreis</td>
	  			</tr>";

	endforeach;
return $output;
$output .= '</table>';
} ?>

I put the shortcode [postdropdown mietwohnungen] in the contact form and [mietwohnungen] in the mailtemplate.

I’m spending hours in solving this special problem, but I still can’t get it fixed, unfortunately I’m no PHP expert.

Thanks,
Christiane
