Any chance of getting this behavior rolled into the release code?

Having to manually add this feature with every release is tiresome and counter productive to using 3rd party plugins.

Wish this were rolled into the release code…

Modifying plugins willy-nilly is a big no-no in my book.

Fixed in v1.4.1 woot!

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

@titusbicknell
post your adaptation of the code and we’ll go from there!

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?

Hmm can you provide more details?

Not sure what I’m looking for here, much less how to leverage what I find if I do find what I don’t know what I’m looking for ??

Actually it does work, but only when the shortcode appears in the form; the shortcode doesn’t work in the mail fields…

Any idea why?

Ok, have managed to get this working partially. Ended up making a franken-add-on based on the various other modules.

The good:
Am seeing the value of the custom field if I include [customfield some-custom-field-name] in the form. Great.

The bad / not working:
If I add the customfield tag name to the Additional headers: area (the desired custom field happens to be an email) as in CC: [some-custom-field-name] <some-custom-field-email]>

then the CC field is blank! The email has a blank entry for CC, as shown:
Blank CC entry in resulting mail…

Anyone know why this is?

Here’s the module code if it helps:

<?php
/**
** contact form 7 module, which enables you to get the result of a custom field from the page that the form is on
** [customfield name] -> returns the value of a custom field on that post/page for [name]
**/
/* Shortcode handler */

/* Shortcode handler */

wpcf7_add_shortcode( 'customfield', 'wpcf7_customfield_shortcode_handler', true );
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;
}

add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_customfield', 'wpcf7_customfield_validation_filter', 10, 2 );
function wpcf7_customfield_validation_filter( $result, $tag ) {
	global $wpcf7_contact_form;

	// $type = $tag['type'];
	$name = $tag['name'];

	$_POST[$name] = trim( strtr( (string) $_POST[$name], "\n", " " ) );

	return $result;
}

/* Tag generator */

add_action( 'admin_init', 'wpcf7_add_tag_generator_customfield', 15 );
function wpcf7_add_tag_generator_customfield() {
	wpcf7_add_tag_generator( 'customfield', __( 'Custom Field', 'wpcf7' ),
		'wpcf7-tg-pane-customfield', 'wpcf7_tg_pane_customfield' );

}

function wpcf7_tg_pane_customfield( $type = 'customfield' ) {
	$type = 'customfield';

Thanks for this, it’s a good start.

Am stuck on 1 thing:

1) getting the page ID into my custom shortcode function; you cannot pass [_post_id] within a shortcode as far as I can tell, and $post->ID doesn’t work in the shortcode function (not sure why).

Am happy to extend CF7, though really wish there was some documentation on all this, can’t seem to find API info on CF7.

Is there any more documentation on creating an add-on module?

Anyone?

If it helps, seems to not exhibit the above if using a different header:

Reply-To: some name <[email protected]>

If it helps, GCorwin’s solution works here.

Nevermind, added this to functions.php in my theme:
`/* sort search results by title */
function sort_searchresult_by_title($k) {
if(is_search()) {
$k->query_vars[‘orderby’] = ‘title’;
$k->query_vars[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
}
}
add_action(‘pre_get_posts’,’sort_searchresult_by_title’);’

Works like a charm! ??
