Prepopulating a form and sending checked elements

    I read in the documentation and tried a lot but I’m still not getting the expected results.

    I’d like to prefill a form with data, which is returned from one URL (gemport.ch/gemport/public/api/themes?generation=2)

    Then the form calls a different URL with attributes that are coming from the checked form fields (theme= & search) and some additional parameter (zipcode) which is either a hidden form field or added to the (then GET) URL.

    On the mentioned page, I’m getting some kind of correct results I guess, but not as checkboxes and I have no understanding on how to send this form data.

    Please help me to find the right trick.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Is this even possible with the free version?

    Hi chzumbrunnen,
    the free JCI plugin can prepopulate the ContactForm7 with no problem.
    But when submitting the Form, the JCI Plugin only calls the API-URL defined in the backend to send the submitted data.
    The frontend answer of ContactForm7 is not affected by this. It just shows: “Thanks for submitting”. I don’t know, how to modify ContactForm7 to show the API-answer.

    Best regards,
    Bernhard

    Hi berkux

    Thanks a lot for your answer and example code.

    It seems, I need the pro version to get my use case done.

    I’ll have a look at it.
