[Plugin: Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension] Email to author

This is explained at: https://sevenspark.com/tutorials/how-to-dynamically-set-the-recipient-to-email-address-in-contact-form-7

I’ve had a really good read of https://sevenspark.com/tutorials/how-to-dynamically-set-the-recipient-to-email-address-in-contact-form-7, tried all sorts of combinations but I am soooo far from coming close to a solution it’s just not funny any more.

I’m at the point now where I throw up my arms and say “I have no idea what I’m doing”.

If someone here could be kind enough to go into my admin and set it up for me I’m sure I could look at at and have a AHHHH moment and see how it all works.

I’ll happily donate some beer money ??

I use this method:

put in function.php

//Shortcode CF7 Email autore annuncio
function author_email($post_ID)  {
	$user_email = get_the_author_meta('user_email',$authid); // retrieve user email
	return $user_email;
}
add_shortcode('authormail', 'author_email');

use this shortcode in CF7:
[dynamichidden email-author "authormail"]

regards.

Alessandro, thanks so much. I will give that a try.

I have tryed to place the shortcode but probably at the wrong place in my cf7, for it is not working
where in CF7 do i have to place [dynamichidden email-author “authormail”] ?

place: [dynamichidden email-author “authormail”]
in cf7 form editor.

Thank’s Alessandro. It works. However, it is now possible for a spammer to to harvest the address of the contactform. The autor receives a mail with both his own and cf mailadress. Is there a workaround to shield of the mailadress of the contactform??

Hi I use an author page template (author.php) like this
[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. The maximum number of lines of code that you can post in these forums is ten lines. Please use the pastebin]

I want that the message can be sent to any author on this site by an author page like this
For the moment it works for a real mail put into the To: Field of contact-form7

I began to try several things inspired by sevenspark but none worked for me
I’m wondering if I can use the $curauth variable of the the template to do this.

Anny help appreciated
Thanks in advance
Martin
