Contact Form 7 data stored to DB AND Mailpoet

  • My contact form 7 with mailpoet newsletter options was working well. The contact form 7-mailpoet plugin allowed me to put a mailpoet subscription checkbox. So whenever the subscription box was checked, mailpoet would be notified and my users would get an email asking them to confirm their subscription to a newsletter.

    But I needed something to capture other fields created in contact form 7. So I put in the contact form 7 DB plugin. This captures the data into a DB, which was great. But now my mailpoet newsletter subscription check boxes now don’t trigger a mailpoet subscription.

    Can someone tell me how to ensure that the contact form 7 data is BOTH stored into the DB and trigger the Mailpoet subscription?

    Thanks

    I have a guess about how to fix this. My hypothesis is that the WordPress expects to see the CFDB hook return “true” (returned nothing now) in order to think it is successful and continue to other hooks (mailpoet’s).

    This is a little tedious, but try this:

    1. Go to plugins
    2. Under “Contact Form DB” click “Edit”
    3. Search for “CF7DBPlugin.php” in the page
    4. Click on that to edit the file
    5. Now search for “public function fieldMatches” in the editor
    6. Add a line of code shown below (see ADD THIS LINE)
    7. Click “Update File” button
    8. Try it again 
    catch (Exception $ex) {
            error_log(sprintf('CFDB Error: %s:%s %s  %s', $ex->getFile(), $ex->getLine(), $ex->getMessage(), $ex->getTraceAsString()));
        }
        return true;  // ****ADD THIS LINE*****
    }

    /**
     * @param $fieldName string
     * @param $patternsArray array
     * @return boolean true if $fieldName is in $patternsArray or matches any element of it that is a regex
     */
    public function fieldMatches($fieldName, $patternsArray) {
