CF7_get_post_var key='ID' not working in WP3.8.1??

Hi Danny,

What you are describing is exactly how it should work.

The CF7_get_post_var shortcode returns values from the current page, it isn’t intended to do anything about the referrer. So if the form is always on the same page, it’ll always return the same value.

The referring-url shortcode is specifically intended to pull the referral URL.

If you want to get the ID of the referring page, you should pass it via a GET parameter and retrieve it with the CF7_GET shortcode.

Hope that helps,

Chris

errr… poo!

Okay, I misunderstood.

So I’m doing something wrong, I have on the button on the referring page;

<input id="enquiries" type="submit" value="Enquiries" onclick="location.href='https://yadayada/enquiry?advertid=<?php echo $post->ID; ?>';" />

and on CF7 DTE

[dynamictext adid uneditable "CF7_get_post_var key='advertid'"]

What may I ask, am I doing wrong? nothing gets passed but the post id is in the url on the form page.

Nevermind, I was being dumb:

[dynamictext adid uneditable "CF7_GET key='advertid'"]

Hi There,

First of all thanks for such a great plugin ??

I have one problem Im not able to solve..

What Im trying to do is to include property reference number in the form for each property.. Ive managed to get title of the property in form.. but I would like to include ref. number of the property as well..

So this is what I tried:

1.I have included this short code in the form:
[dynamictext reference “CF7_get_custom_field key=’ref_no'”]

2.I have edit the code on to:
‘/* Insert a Custom Post Field
* New in 1.0.4
*/
function cf7_get_custom_field($atts){
extract(shortcode_atts(array(
‘key’ => ‘ref_no’,
‘post_id’ => -1,
‘obfuscate’ => ‘off’
), $atts));

if($post_id < 0){
global $post;
if(isset($post)) $post_id = $post->ID;
}

if($post_id < 0 || empty($key)) return ‘ref_no’;

$val = get_post_meta($post_id, $key, true);

if($obfuscate == ‘on’){
$val = cf7dtx_obfuscate($val);
}

return $val;

}
add_shortcode(‘CF7_get_custom_field’, ‘cf7_get_custom_field’);’

3.and I have included the code below in the property post.

‘<input type=”hidden” name=”ref_no” id=”ref_no” value=”LP48″ />’

Please let me know what Im doing wrong, and how it could be achieved.

Thank you

Regards

Nevermind the message above..

I thought its my own topic..

I will post new topic now..

Sorry

Looks good, Danny, but you could actually just use a normal anchor/link rather than a submit button with javascript to submit that GET var to the contact page ??
