    Hey guys, how can I make my contact form auto-reply emails to contain a custom shortcode that shows a template? this shortcode works on normal wordpress pages, but doesn’t work on CF7 email template., not even using this plugin.

    this is my shortcode declared on functions.php

    
function sc_mostrarcursos($atts, $content = null) {
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
            "id" => '1',
    ), $atts));
    global $post;
  
  $postargs = array(
    'post_type'=> 'product',
    'order'=> 'DESC',
    'post_type' => 'product',
    'posts_per_page' => 1,
    'post__in'=> array($id)
  );  
  $myposts = get_posts($postargs);
  
  $retour='<ul>';
    foreach($myposts as $post) :
            setup_postdata($post);
       
            $retour.= get_template_part('template_curso');

        endforeach;
    $retour.='</ul> ';
    return $retour;
}
add_shortcode("mostrarcursos", "sc_mostrarcursos");

    and this how I’m rendering it, no success… emails arrive with the plain shortcode.

    [mostrarcursos id=”5240″]

    I checked the link shared, but there is not clue on how to put some parameters – atts from the shortcode dynamically… any hints???

    The solution Solution – using wpcf7_special_mail_tags filter is not working for me.

    Hi, sorry for the late response. Main problem here is that shortcodes with attributes don’t work in email templates. So with the following you can use [mostracursos_5204] in the email template to trigger the [mostrarcursos id=”5240″] shortcode:

    function my_special_mail_tag( $output, $name, $html ) {
	if ( 'mostracursos_5204' == $name )
		$output = do_shortcode( '[mostrarcursos id=”5240″]' );
 
	return $output;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'my_special_mail_tag', 10, 3 );

    If you need the shortcode also with other id values, you need to repeat the whole code block with the new id in both places.

    Does that help?
