[Plugin: Contact Form 7] Include originating page, or custom field from originating page?

More specifically please?

What am I looking for here? And what more, how do I get what I don’t know I’m looking for to result in the desired behavior?

As you can see in this wpcf7_text_shortcode_handler() in modules/text.php, shortcode handler function should output a form input element. Your wpcf7_customfield_shortcode_handler() doesn’t, right?

It would seem so, I’m not so well versed in all this.

Try this

function wpcf7_customfield_shortcode_handler($field) {
	global $wpcf7_contact_form;
	global $wp_query;
	$thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
	$somefield = get_post_meta($thePostID, $field[name], true);
	if (empty($somefield)) return '';
	//return $somefield;

	$html = '<input type="hidden" name="' . esc_attr( $field[name] ) . '" value="' . esc_attr( $somefield ) . '" />';
	return $html;
}

somebody can help me???
i just install contact for 7.thats very nice. but the problem is, upload tag for upload not working very well. image not upload as we want.
any advice?

I’m just need to add ( onFocus=”this.value=’ ‘;this.onfocus=’ ‘;” ) to “textarea” to clear the default value. I’m not a PHP guru to do that my self, Any idea ?? Great plugin by the way.

OK I figured that…

I just modified (../modules/textarea.php ) in the line that says (line #85 I guess):

$html = '<textarea name="' . $name . '"' . $atts . '>' . esc_html( $value ) . '</textarea>';

To be:

$html = '<textarea name="' . $name . '"' . $atts . ' onFocus="this.value=\'\';this.onfocus=\'\';" >' . esc_html( $value ) . '</textarea>';

and it works ??

By the way, I’m trying to find better way. Because I guess you will need to repeat this modification with every update for the plugin.

Hey, just did that using jQuery. You didn’t have to modify any thing, just add the following code to your theme’s index header. And the good news: it works for both INPUT and TEXTAREA tags ??

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script  type="text/javascript">
$(function() {
	$('input, textarea').each(function() {
		var field = $(this);
		var default_value = field.val();

		field.focus(function() {
			if (field.val() == default_value) {
				field.val('');
			}
		});

		field.blur(function() {
			if (field.val() == '') {
				field.val(default_value);
			}
		});
	});
});
</script>

Hope that I helped
Enjoy ??

@casemon: Did you find a solution? Looking for the same here.. want to add a wp_custom_field to the CC contactform7 field and can’t get it working

Id like to do the same Jonas. Anyone?

Casemon is secretive huh

If you want to pass a custom field through the contact form, you need to create a custom module for such, or just edit the special-mail-tags.php file in /wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/modules/. The problem with editing that file is your edits will be lost when you update. But just to give you a quick solution, here’s how you can do it…

in the special-mail-tags.php file, add this line of code just before the return $output on line 69:

elseif ( '_post_customfieldname' == $name )
	$output = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'customfieldname', true);

Making ‘customfieldname’ whatever you want the name to be. Make sure you add the custom field to your post with the name you specified and your value.

Then in your form settings, add [_post_customfieldname] wherever you want to output that custom field.

I would highly recommend creating a separate module php file for such things, that way when you upgrade, you can just re-upload your custom module files easily to keep your customizations. But this should help you understand how it can be done.

Good Luck!
