WordPress shortcode in email data (Feature request, patch included)

  • Hey,

    I’ve run into a situation where I would like to be able to use wordpress shortcode in the email template (subject and body). I’ve made a quick change in my copy of the plugin, but thought others might like this as well. I’ve included the patch below. I’m not sure if there’s a better place to do the shortcode, but this seemed logical to me.

    Edit: I just realized this might not be the right place to submit this since it’s a “support” forum, but I’m not really sure where this would belong.

  • Hi, where do you put this? In which file? Thanks

    This goes in the file includes/classes.php as you can see in the diff.

    I’m starting to think the lines I added should actually be placed before the CF7 shortcodes are evaluate though, because then a user might have shortcode in their input which would get evaluated. This probably wouldn’t be a security concern, but might cause some unexpected results. Just add the lines a little earlier, but I don’t remember how much and don’t have the files on this computer to check.
