Output surrounded by square brackets

  • I’m using Contact Form 7 to create input forms that will generate emails to automatically create TeamworkPM tasks. TeamworkPM looks for a date in square brackets to assign as the “due date” for the task. The problem is that, when I use “[[due-date]]”, the first enclosing bracket set is discarded so the string “[due-date]” is outputted instead of the desired “[2014-10-13]”.

    So, is there a way to escape the first left bracket and the final right bracket so that it displays in the necessary format?

    Use {[due-date]} and replace {} to [] just before sending to TeamworkPM.

    Thanks for the replay, and for the interesting idea…

    How would I change the {} to [] before it goes to TeamworkPM, though? The process is that the form data gets emailed directly to TeamworkPM, so we wouldn’t be able to make the change manually.

    I think you can do it with wpcf7_mail_components filter that is found in includes/mail.php.
