Advanced Custom Fields Dynamic Text=Syntax Error
-
Since the latest CF7 upgrade I have a syntax error in the Mail/To: field where I use ‘To: <[job_email]>’.
Having read this thread I understand that the error is probably thrown because the field is not required, fair enough.
However my situation is a little complex (if anyone can come up with a simpler solution I’d be pleased to hear it!).
The background is that I have a site which advertises job vacancies. A site admin adds job vacancies using a combination of Advanced Custom Fields and Custom Post UI. The client wants a set-up where when a visitor to the site clicks ‘apply’ for any of the listed vacancies they fill a CF7 form in and the details are emailed to the company. The catch is that the form can be sent to different recipients depending on the job type.
To enable this the admin enters the target email address which is stored as ‘job_email’ in ACF and then passed to CF7 using the Dynamic Text Extension as a hidden field like this:
<p>[dynamichidden job_email “CF7_get_custom_field key=’job_email’ obfuscate=’on'”] </p>
Trying to make dynamichidden required by using ‘dynamichidden*’ doesn’t work and I’m not really surprised.
Now the whole thing still works as it should but I have the syntax error – is this something I should just live with or can anyone see a fix?
