Email button in [pdb_list] and predefined message

  • Hi Xnau,

    I searched the forum, but didn’t find what I am looking for. I wondered, is it possible to transform an ‘e-mail’ field in [pdb_list] into a clickable button that lets a person send an e-mail, with a predefined message?

    For instance, when clicking that button, someone would be redirected to a page that contains a simple contact form, able to fill in his own name and e-mail, but also contains the predefined message.

    Thanks again for your support.

    Yes, it’s possible, but your email sending will have to be handled by a contact plugin that has the ability to be preloaded with values from the URL. I believe “Contact Form 7” can do this.

    On the Participants Database side, you’ll need a custom template that sets up your link. My page explaining how to set up a custom link in the list display gives some idea how this should be done.

    Basically, the idea is you take your “send email” field, and alter the link property so that it includes the email and whatever other values you want preloaded into the contact form as URL variables. The contact page will then use those values to preload the contact form.

    Wonderful, gonna try this. I’ll share the relevant code or info when I succeeded, in order for others to use it as well.

    Thanks!
