[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Sending to multiple recipients fails

Your configuration has no problem, but an email field accepts an email address. If you put comma-separated list into it, it will show a validation error as you wrote. That is correct behavior.

Hi,

Thank you for reply.

Does contact form 7 have a field that takes one email address or a comma-separated list of email addresses. And also do email address validation.

I would like users to be able to send an invitation to more than one person by entering a list of email addresses with the one instance of the form.

I hope that explains what I am trying to achieve.

Thanks,
nav

The plugin doesn’t have such a function so far.

I think it’s not difficult for you to make an extension code adding such validation effects.

Thanks Takayuki I will take a look at doing what you have suggested.

Hi navanitachora,

I had a small question for you. You have done what I am trying to do: allow people to send site link to friend using contact form 7. I was wondering how you did that and more specifically, how you did this:

“and my to: field contains the [friends-email] shortcode. I am using the akismet spam filtering and Contact Form 7 – Dynamic Text Extension plugins along with contact form 7 if this has anything to do with it.“

Thanks

Hi charles_drumheller,

The configuration I am using for the form is below for your convenience:

<p>Your Name (required)<br />
    [text* your-name 20/ akismet:author]</p>

<p>Your Email (required)<br />
    [email* your-email 20/ akismet:author_email]</p>

<p>Friend's Email (required)<br />
    [email* friends-email 20/]</p>

<p>Subject (required)<br />
    [text* your-subject 20/] </p>

<p>Your Message<br />
    [textarea your-message 20x5]</p>

<p>[captchac captcha-107 size:m]</p>
<p>[captchar captcha-107 20/]</p>

[dynamichidden dynamichidden-288 "CF7_URL"]

<p>[submit "Send"]</p>

and I just added the [friends-email] shortcode as I explained above.

Do you have a specifif problem with using the plugin? Or is what I have given above helpful. I maybe able to assist you better if you post your configuration. Hope that helps.

Hi Nav,

Thanks for reply. Here is my setup. Everything works except friend email does not get it. Anything else to add somewhere else?

<p>Your Name (required)
[text* your-name]</p>

<p>Your Email (required)
[email* your-email]</p>

<p>Friend’s Email (required)
[email* friends-email]</p>

<p>Subject (required)
[text* your-subject] </p>

<p>Your Message
[textarea your-message]</p>

<p>[submit “Send”]</p>

Thanks

So the problem you are having has to do with friends-email is not being set when you recieve the data from the form?

I think what might be good is to create another email field anew remove the old friends-email field and change the name of this new field to friends-email. If you have already tried that then I am not sure what the problem is.

Let me know if that works.

For navanitachora,
I did in the following way:
Inside
contact-form-7/includes/classes.php
line 399
replace
$recipient = preg_replace_callback( $regex, $callback, $mail_template[‘recipient’] );
with
$recipient = $mail_template[‘recipient’];
There are better ways but this solves the problem quickly

Thanks for the code above as you said this will solve the problem for now.
