Submit as Post with custom field contents

  • I understand this plugin basically submits post_title and post_content as a post. But can anyone tell me how to capture all custom fields inside post_content?

    I mean you can surely have all fields submit to email in the email tabs for contact form 7. Does anyone know how to do the same thing to present in post_content?

    Thanks

    Hi Michael,

    I read they link you have provided and searched this support forum; however i am still unclear.

    say my cf7 is as follow:

    Post Title [text* post_title] <br/>

Post Content (required) <br/>
   [textarea* post_content] <br/>

Country (required) <br/>
  [checkbox* meta_country "USA" "Canada" "China"] <br/>

[submit "Post"] <br/>

    If i want the value of country be input in side the post_content, do i just add a “meta_” in front of the country field like the above code?

    thanks

    No, meta_ makes it a custom field.

    Sounds like you want to copy the values from this and other fields into the post_content field. You would have to do that either by adding Javascript on the page or adding PHP using the plugin’s form_to_post_before_create_post hook.
