Export Settings, Import Feature

Nope, not possible yet.

I see 2 options though:

1. If you have some developer skills you could edit the source code to accept import data here: https://github.com/pwkip/contact-form-7-conditional-fields

2. If you are good with text editors like notepad++ or edipad pro (regex find and replace) you could convert the export to a format like this:

<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[101][if_field]" value="field-name">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[101][operator]" value="equals">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[101][if_value]" value="value">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[101][then_field]" value="group-name">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[102][if_field]" value="field-name-2">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[102][operator]" value="equals">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[102][if_value]" value="value2">
<input type="text" name="wpcf7cf_options[102][then_field]" value="group-name-2">

Then, either using firebug (firefox) or developer tools (chrome), visit the Conditional fields page, select the wpcf7cf-entries div, right click -> Edit as Html

And paste in the above code. This should result in a bunch of input fields, being added to the page. Click Save and the conditions should be added.

I realize this is a complete out of the box super hack, but it will work (I tested it) ?? Good luck!

Funny, Jules. I like the work around; very clever ??

I will give it a try. If nothing else, it sounds like fun to try!

Thanks!

Ok, so I actually just added the import feature to the next update. please give it a try ??

Wow, I’m very impressed! Thanks a million for working that in. In my opinion, this feature makes your plugin a more serious tool for developers. I will enjoy using regularly. [haven’t tried out ‘import’ yet, but on my way]

Thanks for your responsiveness!
Bob

You’re welcome Bob,

feel free to rate the plugin if you like it ??

Hey, Jules. I rated the plugin and wrote a positive review. I got a kick out of your warning on the import feature. That made me wonder something that I used to wonder often. Why doesn’t contact form 7 have a revision history like other post types in WordPress? Do you think you could add the functionality to this plugin or create another add-on that has ‘revision history’ so one could revert after ‘screwing up?’

I find myself often copying all the contact form code (main form and emails) and pasting into TextWrangler ‘just in case’….That would be a good feature.

Also, in my mind there is only one more thing left to do with the Conditional Fields plugin. Add jquery so that the hidden options can slide out. Perhaps there is a tab in the setting which allows you to chose an animation style. For instance, you could have it slide down with a background color of yellow that flashes off after the sliding is complete so that it is more obvious that the new form element has just appeared.

I think that would be nice. The only think left for me to do is to donate. ??

Thanks Jules!

Thanks for all your kind words, Bob! I was going to say you could always duplicate the Contact Form if you feel like messing around with it. (CF7 has a built in duplicate button.) But then I just figured out that when you actually duplicate a form, the conditions aren’t duplicated with it. So I’m of to solve that first. The transitions thing is something other people have been asking for as well, I’ll bump it up a little more to the top of my TODO list ??

Thanks, Jules!

I’ll stay tuned ??
