Thank you for the answer, Gagan. This plugin promises exactly what I need. I’ll wait for the update.

I’m using the BuddyPress Album plugin (https://allnaturalartists.com) and needed a front-page slider which contained all user images.

<div id="photos">
<?php bp_album_query_pictures(); ?>
<?php if ( bp_album_has_pictures() ) : ?>
			<ul class="slides">
        <?php while ( bp_album_has_pictures() ) : bp_album_the_picture(); ?>
					<li>
                    <a href="<?php bp_album_picture_url(); ?>" title="<?php bp_album_picture_title(); ?>">
						<img src='<?php bp_album_picture_original_url() ?>' alt="<?php bp_album_picture_desc(); ?>" />
					</a>
					<!--<div class="slideDescription">
						<?php //echo bp_album_picture_desc(); ?>
					</div>-->
					</li>
        <?php endwhile; ?>
			</ul>
				<div class="clearfix"></div>
				<a id="prev" class="prev" href="#"><</a>
				<a id="next" class="next" href="#">></a>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

So grateful for that link Adrea. Thank you.

mrmcq, I couldn’t get the jQuery plugin you’re describing to work and in the end just wrote my own. It took a couple days, but the user can now create and delete new fieldsets on the fly. I haven’t gotten as far as getting the “Array” issue you describe. I would really appreciate it if you could give me some guidance on how the form fields can be coded in such a way for CF7 to recognize it once the form’s been submitted.

For example, the CF7 form would look like this:

1. CF7 shortcodes
[text first_name]
[submit]

2. CF7 generates the html form
<form action=”#” method=”post” class=”#”>
<input type=”text” name=”first_name”>
<input type=”submit”>
</form>

3. Then the search_and_replace plugin would change the name of the text field
<form action=”#” method=”post” class=”#”>
<input type=”text” name=”first_name[]”>
<input type=”submit”>
</form>

4. The user dynamically adds another text field and submits the form
<form action=”#” method=”post” class=”#”>
<input type=”text” name=”first_name[]”>
<input type=”text” name=”first_name[]”>
<input type=”submit”>
</form>

5. CF7 has no shortcode for a field named first_name[] and can’t process it.

I would love any kind of insight you could provide.

Thank you.

Hello.
I’m also trying to get CF7 to work with form fields generated on the fly. I’ve worked out a jQuery script to provide that functionality in the browser, but I have a few questions about making it work with the CF7 plugin.

themonko, how do you get CF7 to process a text field who’s name includes the square brackets? I’ve tried for example, [text user[first_name]], but CF7 can’t render the field.

mrmcq, I’ve taken your advice and loaded the search and replace plugin which modifies the form CF7 builds replacing {name=”user-first_name”} with {name=”user[first_name]”}. The browser renders the form with the appropriate field names, however when CF7 processes the form, it won’t recognize a field with that name.

A general question about CF7, is there any way to get it to recognize hand coded html elements? Other plugins support custom html forms but CF7 is pretty deeply integrated into a couple of my sites.

Thank you for your threads so far. They’ve been helpful in getting me this far.
