Change values of form-entry in admin and auto-reply mails

    Hello,

    I’m still struggling with the use of

    add_action('cforms2_after_processing_action', function ($cformsdata) {

    as described in the file my-functions.php.txt.

    I want to test and modify some values of $cformsdata['data'] and it seems to work. As the last line of the function I reassign the new values with $cformsdata['data'] = $form; but in the admin and auto-reply-mail I still get the old original values of $cformsdata. How do I return and change them so the admin-mail shows and sends out my modified values?

    You can use by ref parameter: Just write function (&$cformsdata) instead od function ($cformsdata).

    Am I missing something? It still does not work.

    Based on the example code in my-functions.php.txt I do the following:

    add_action('cforms2_after_processing_action', function (&$cformsdata) {

	### Extract Data
	### Note: $cformsdata['id'] = '' (empty) for the first form!
	$formID = $cformsdata['id'];
	$form   = $cformsdata['data'];

	if ( $formID == '3' ) {

		$form['Your Name'] = 'Mr./Mrs. '.$form['Your Name'];

		$cformsdata['data'] = $form;
	}

});

    But still {Your Name} shows the old value without Mr./Mrs. in the admin mail.

    I thought it would be possible to use by ref with WordPress actions, but it is not. You are not supposed to change the values with actions. However you can use my_cforms_filter(&$formIDOrPostData), which is explained in my-functions.php.txt. Keep in mind that this function is deprecated and will be replaced by a proper WordPress filter in the near future.

    Ok. But my_cforms_filter only works for non-ajax-forms.

    I had to switch my form to non-ajax, which I normally do not like.

    The values are changed and the mail is sent. Ok.

    But I see another error: The page shows no success message!

    I found the bug, why the success message does not appear:

    I had the option “Hide form after successful submission” checked.

    If this is checked also the success message is hidden for a non ajay form.

    This bug should be fixed, too.

    my_cforms_filter SHOULD also work for AJAx forms. Did you try it?

    I tried it, but the same function that works without AJAX does not work with it. I haven’t dived in deeper, but I think $track is not filled properly or empty with AJAX.
