[Plugin: Contact Form 7 Dynamic Text Extension] applying custom keys

This functionality is now available in version 1.0.4. The tag would look like this:

[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_custom_field key='my_custom_field'"]

Glad you like the plugin!

Works perfectly, thanks a ton!!!

Is it posible to get a php variable, like this:

<?php
$thisisavariable = "hello world";
echo $thisisavariable;
?>

Can i put $thisisavariable in a dynamic field?

It depends on scope. All the values are created through shortcodes, which are each defined by a function. The variable would have to be within the scope of that function in order to return it. If your variable is global, you’d be good to go. Alternatively, you could just call and return the function that generates the value of your variable within the shortcode function.

In any event, I’m sure there’s a way to do what you want, but you’ll need to write a new shortcode for it most likely.

Hope that helps,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Thank you for the quik reply!

i have made a shortcode in functions.php

//Shortcode CF7 DT variabelen

function offer() {
    $bodnr = $_GET['comid'];
	$bodinfo = get_comment($bodnr);
	$bodcontent = $bodinfo->comment_content;
	return $bodcontent;
}
add_shortcode('of', 'offer');

In the form i put the next code:

<p> [dynamictext* test "CF7_GET key='of'"]</p>

But i don’t get the output! When i put [of] into the texteditor of Worpress i get the right output.

What i am doing wrong?

Thanks for your effort!

You’re almost there. The CF7 dynamictext tag you wrote is using the CF7_GET shortcode which is looking for a GET variable named ‘of’. Your case is simpler ??

Try this:

[dynamictext* test "of"]

Whatever is in quotes is executed as a shortcode. key is the parameter passed to the CF7_GET shortcode.

Whahoooo!!!!
Thank you so much Chris!
It works, your the best!

Again Thank you very much for your support and the great plugin your made!

You’re welcome! Glad we got it worked out for you ??

5 stars for you and your plugin!

Sorry, here i am again, with the next question:
de next code i have but won’t work:
Shortcode:

//Shortcode test Geert

function hello() {
        $val = $_GET['thevariable'];
	$user = new WP_User( $val );
	$user_info = get_userdata($val);
	echo($user_info->display_name);
}
add_shortcode('bn', 'hello');

and the code for the form:
<p>[dynamictext* test "bn"]</p>

What am i doing wrong?

You need to return not echo.

Thankzz, how stupid of me!

oeef here i’m again, with the next question, why won’t work the next code:

/Shortcode koper straat

function koper_street() {
    $val_kos = $_GET['foo'];
	$wat = 'aim';
	$user_info_kos = the_author_meta( $wat ,$val_kos );
	return $user_info_kos;
}
add_shortcode('kos', 'koper_street');

and the code in the form
<p>[dynamictext* street "kos"]</p>

the_author_meta prints the value and doesn’t return anything.

Use get_the_author_meta instead.

thankzz!!
