How Do We Add A Referring URL?

  • I can’t for the life of me find a plugin or any answer online that helps with this question.

    I’ve never ran into a client that needed a database for all of their incoming mail via Contact Form 7. This plugin was a huge time saver.

    However, they also want the Referring URL to be included in that database. I saw another thread where someone had mentioned that they added 3 lines of code in the plugin’s file and it automatically included a referring url in every database submission but they didn’t leave the code, they just said they had it.

    Anyone have any ideas?

  • I am also wondering how to do it.

    In contact form 7 you can use the shortcode [_url] to have CF7 post the referring url into the email that is sent along with the rest of the form data.

    Any help would be appreciated by both of us!

    Yeah, I have the plugin that plugs that information into an output e-mail but this client wants it directly into a database.

    I was going to purchase that extension of CFDB that lets you re-name columns but I’ve been holding off on that until I can figure out how to add a referring url.

    There is a way to capture the page the form was on. See here. Perhaps you can get the CF7 _url value in a similar way. But I’m not sure this still works as-written. CF7 changed a bunch of stuff in version 3.9 that might break it.

    Oops, I should have probably been a little more clear.

    I meant the referring URL before they got to that page.
