    Can I use this plugin for this scenario?

    Scenario:

    1- I have a business listing directory (example hotels directory)

    2- Each hotel has their own profile page (hotel A, hotel B, hotel C)

    3- The custom plugin gives me a shortcode to insert a button (or checkbox) in each profile or page.

    Background setup:
    Hotel A = [plugin = [email protected]]
    Hotel B = [plugin = [email protected]]
    Hotel C = [plugin = [email protected]]

    4- In the Hotels profile pages I insert the shortcodes respectively

    5- The visitor clicks on Buttons (or checkboxes) of the hotels they want Inquriry
    Hotel A = YES (clicked or checked)
    Hotel B = NO
    Hotel C = YES

    6- When the visitor goes to the contact form page (using contact form 7 or any other contact form plugin), they will see:

    Fill out your inquiry:

    Name, email, phone

    Hotels to be inquired:
    Hotel A, Hotel C

    Message: bla bla bla

    7- The inquiry will be sent to Hotel A and Hotel C (the recipients will be dynamic, depending on the choices made by the user)

    1. Short code can list hotels give you had a (private) form to submit info about the hotels to put the info in the DB
    2. Short code can display information on a specific hotel using “filter” to select the hotel from what is in the DB
    3. [cfdb-html] can be used to put in HTML with values associated with entries in a CFDB database
    4. OK
    5. You have to make a form with check boxes (not a CFDB thing). If you want CFDB to dynamically generate the checkboxes based on what is in the DB, you can do that with [cfdb-html] but that works if you are writing the whole form HTML, and doesn’t work with CF7 and similar form plugin definitions.
    6. If you form posts to a landing page with form selections, then you can use filter=”_POST(param)” to pass the form parameter into a short code
    7. Would be handled but something other than CFDB

    Thanks for your quick reply Michael.

    I think the name of what Im trying to build is a Inquiry Cart, like in Alibaba.com.

    Im having a look on what you said and see what I can do.

    By the way, do you do custom work if needed?

    I typically do not do custom work.
