This plugin provides 2 new tag types for the Contact Form 7 Plugin. It allows the dynamic generation of content for a text input box via any shortcode.
|
|
It also offers dynamic hidden field functionality, which can be utilized to dynamically set the Email Recipient (To:) address.
|
|
|
|
== Description ==
|
|
|
|
Contact Form 7 is an excellent WordPress plugin, and the CF7 DTX Plugin makes it even more awesome by adding dynamic content capabilities.
|
|
While default values in Contact Form 7 are static. CF7 DTX lets you create pre-populated fields based on other values. Some examples might include:
|
|
|
|
* Auto-filling a URL
|
|
* Auto-filling a Post ID, title, or slug
|
|
* Pre-populating a Product Number
|
|
* Referencing other content on the site
|
|
* Populating with post info
|
|
* Populating with user info
|
|
* Populating with custom fields
|
|
* Any value you can write a shortcode for
|
|
|
|
There are many more case-specific examples. I searched for a solution, and there are some decent hacks out there. Many of them are
|
|
explored in this forum topic:
|
|
[Contact Form 7 Input Fields Values as PHP Get-Viarables](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/contact-form-7-input-fields-values-as-php-get-viarables).
|
|
However, they all involved hacking the current Contact Form 7 code, which means next time the plugin is updated their edits will be
|
|
overwritten. That's bad.
|
|
|
|
This Dynamic Text Extension plugin provides a more elegant solution that leaves the Contact Form 7 Plugin intact.
|
|
|
|
= WHAT DOES IT DO? =
|
|
|
|
This plugin provides a new tag type for the Contact Form 7 Plugin. It allows the dynamic generation of content for a text input box via any shortcode.
|
|
For example, it comes with several built-in shortcodes that will allow the Contact Form to be populated from any $_GET PHP variable or any info from the
|
|
get_bloginfo() function, among others. See below for included shortcodes.
|
|
|
|
= HOW TO USE IT =
|
|
|
|
After installing and activating the plugin, the Contact Form 7 tag generator will have 2 new tag types: Dynamic Text Field and Dynamic Hidden Field. Most of the options will be
|
|
familiar to Contact Form 7 users. There are two important fields:
|
|
|
|
**Dynamic Value**
|
|
|
|
This field takes a shortcode, with two important provisions:
|
|
|
|
1. The shortcode should NOT include the normal square brackets ([ and ]). So, instead of [CF7_GET key='value'] you would use CF7_GET key='value' .
|
|
2. Any parameters in the shortcode must use single quotes. That is: CF7_GET key='value' and not CF7_GET key="value"
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Uneditable Option**
|
|
|
|
As these types of fields should often remain uneditable by the user, there is a checkbox to turn this option on (Not applicable for hidden fields).
|
|
|
|
|
|
= INCLUDED SHORTCODES =
|
|
|
|
The plugin includes 2 basic shortcodes for use with the Dynamic Text extension. You can write your own as well - any shortcode will work
|
|
|
|
**PHP GET Variables**
|
|
|
|
Want to use a variable from the PHP GET array? Just use the CF7_GET shortcode. For example, if you want to get the foo parameter from the url
|
|
http://mysite.com?foo=bar
|
|
|
|
Enter the following into the "Dynamic Value" input
|
|
|
|
CF7_GET key='foo'
|
|
|
|
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_GET key='foo'"]
|
|
|
|
Your form's dynamicname text input will then be pre-populated with the value of foo, in this case, bar
|
|
|
|
|
|
**PHP POST Variables**
|
|
|
|
New in version 1.0.3!
|
|
|
|
Grab variables from the $_POST array. The shortcode is much like the GET shortcode:
|
|
|
|
CF7_POST key='foo'
|
|
|
|
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_POST key='foo'"]
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Blog Info**
|
|
|
|
Want to grab some information from your blog like the URL or the sitename? Use the CF7_bloginfo shortcode. For example, to get the site's URL:
|
|
|
|
Enter the following into the "Dynamic Value" input
|
|
|
|
CF7_bloginfo show='url'
|
|
|
|
Your Content Form 7 Tag will look something like this:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_bloginfo show='url'"]
|
|
|
|
Your form's dynamicname text input will then be pre-populated with your site's URL
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Post Info**
|
|
|
|
New in version 1.0.3!
|
|
|
|
Retrieve information about the current post/page (that the contact form is displayed on). The shortcode works as follows:
|
|
|
|
CF7_get_post_var key='title' <-- retrieves the Post's Title
|
|
CF7_get_post_var key='slug' <-- retrieves the Post's Slug
|
|
|
|
You can also retrieve any parameter from the $post object. Just set that as the key value, for example 'post_date'
|
|
|
|
The Contact Form 7 Tag would look like:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_post_var key='title'"]
|
|
|
|
**Current URL**
|
|
|
|
New in version 1.0.3!
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the current URL. The shortcode takes no parameters:
|
|
|
|
CF7_URL
|
|
|
|
So your Contact Form 7 Tag would look like:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_URL"]
|
|
|
|
**Custom Fields**
|
|
|
|
New in version 1.0.4!
|
|
|
|
Retrieve custom fields from the current post/page. Just set the custom field as the key in the shortcode.
|
|
|
|
The dynamic value input becomes:
|
|
|
|
CF7_get_custom_field key='my_custom_field'
|
|
|
|
And the tag looks like this:
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_custom_field key='my_custom_field'"]
|
|
|
|
For the purposes of including an email address, you can obfuscate the custom field value by setting obfuscate='on' in the shortcode.
|
|
|
|
**Current User Info**
|
|
|
|
Get data about the current user - assuming they are logged in. Defaults to user name, but you can set the key to any valid value in
|
|
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_currentuserinfo
|
|
|
|
CF7_get_current_user
|
|
|
|
[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_current_user"]
|
|
