Add timestamp to mail and database

  • Hi Michael,

    thanks for this awesome plugin! ??

    I have one question: I would like to insert an unique reference id which is created via an own function cf7_timestamp.

    add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'cf7_timestamp', 10, 3 );

function cf7_timestamp( $output) {

date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");
        $output = round(microtime(true) * 1000);
	return $output;
}

    This works really good and the outbound mail contains the timestamp, but unfortunatley it is not saved in the database. Do you have any suggestions how to fix that?

    Thanks a lot & best regards,
    Jannik

    CFDB saves it’s own timestamp as submit_time which is a microtime value (unrounded) but it is displayed as “Submitted” in the admin view as a formatted time. You can add the submit_time value to CF7 mail: https://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=1220

    Hi Michael,

    thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately I need a rounded value to attach it to a link. In example https://www.test.com/%5Btimestamp%5D. And now it’s important to save three values in my database: name, mail and this timestamp.

    Would love to hear from you soon. Maybe you have other ideas?

    Many thanks,
    Jannik

    To generate a value that will appear both in CF7 email and be saved in CFDB, I think you need to do this: (I haven’t tested the code)

    function add_timestamp_cf7($posted_data) {
        date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Berlin");
        $posted_data['timestamp'] = round(microtime(true) * 1000);
}

add_action('wpcf7_posted_data', add_timestamp_cf7);

    Then add [timestamp] to your CF7 mail template.
