    How can i use this plugin with a php variable?

    Currently I can use this snippet to show a users email that they have registered with (this is a field from the Ultimate Members plugin):

    <?php $user_email = um_user('user_email'); echo $user_email; ?>

    I want to use this field to pre-populate the email field in CF7.

    How would i write the shortcode for this?

    Tried the following but with no joy:

    [dynamictext dynamicname “CF7_get_custom_field key=’user_email'”]

    I’ve tried to adapt a solution on another thread – is this along the right lines?

    function offer() {
    $user_email = $_GET['user_email'];
    $bodinfo = um_user($user_email);
    $bodcontent = $bodinfo;
	return $bodcontent;
}
add_shortcode('of', 'offer');

    Got it working using the following:

    function cf7_add_user_email(){
    global $post;
    $user_email = um_user('user_email');
    return $user_email;
}

add_shortcode('CF7_ADD_USER_EMAIL', 'cf7_add_user_email');

    then this in CF7:

    [dynamictext user-email "CF7_ADD_USER_EMAIL"]

    I’m presuming this is this the right way to do it?

    hi Creatix

    I am interested in this topic as i want to develop a hack for CFDB that can pre-populate fields in the form.

    have you ever tried to do this?

    thank you

    Yup, that’s correct, basically if you want to use PHP, you just build a shortcode to return the value from your function ??

    Hello,

    Can the same technique be used to populate a checkbox field instead of a single value field?

    That would be great!

    Thanks for the help!
