Create new record for each selection in a submitted form?

Does this sound outside of the capabilities of this script? If anyone could shed any light that would be great.

I’m essentially trying to create (for example) a unique record for each of the multiple checkboxes the user selects and where all three have two other fields that are common.

I’m taking it this would have to be a capability of either the Contact Form 7 plugin or a custom script that parses out the data before it is archived in Contact Form DB.

Thanks much!

I think I’ve managed to do what you guys are looking at.

I’m working on a booking form which allows the user to book more than one item, I’m using a function similar to the one below to then split booking items off into another table leaving behind the base level information and a reference.

Meaning that I have one ‘booker’ to many ‘booking items’ with an ID linking them together.

Here’s a run through of what I’m doing, but based of the OPs example (in the theme functions.php)…

function multiPost($formData){

    // Check for a field thats only in the first submit, else we'll get looping that breaks saveFormData()
    if( $formData->posted_data['place-name2'] ) {

	    $formName 		= 'Booking Form';
	    $additionalForm = array('2');

	    // Check for additional form items – rinse and repeat if needed
		if( $formData->posted_data['place-name3'] ) {
			array_push($additionalForm, '3');
		}

    	// New form submit for each additional form
    	foreach ($additionalForm as $c) {

    		// Additional submission – works fine to a seperate form but not the same.
    		$cfdb = new CF7DBPlugin();

    		$data = (object) array(
    		    'title' => $formNameItems,
    		    'posted_data' => array(

    			    'placename'		=> $formData->posted_data['placename' . $c],
    			    'dataField'		=> $formData->posted_data['dataField'],
    			    'emailField'	=> $formData->posted_data['emailField']

    			)
    		);

    		// Save new record
    		$cfdb->saveFormData($data);

    		// We don't need placename2/3/4... in the original record
    		unset($formData->posted_data['placename' . $c]);

    	}

    	// Tidy up original record, essentially moving placename1 to placename and then removing placename1 so columns match
    	$formData->posted_data['placename'] = $formData->posted_data['placename1'];
    	unset($formData->posted_data['placename']);

    }

    return $formData;

}

add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'multiPost');

Hey ch8rt thanks for this response. I’ve been trying to adapt my install but, am code-challenged and I need to find a more out-of-the-box solution since my site is up and running. Thanks much.
