wpcf7_skip_mail, how use it?

I have the same problem, do you resolve your issue after all?

i’ll try the filter:

add_filter('wpcf7_skip_mail','my_skip_mail');

function my_skip_mail($f){
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
return true;
}

But doesn’t work for me,

I?m sorry, not solved yet…. I think only the developer can do a clear exemple on how to use it….

Ok, on the last CF7 version the filter works (i had the 3.9.1 version), this code works now:

add_filter('wpcf7_skip_mail','my_skip_mail');

function my_skip_mail($f){
$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
return true;
}

and the email is not sent, but i have a function to the action wpcf7_before_send_mail, before i was using in this function:

$posted_data->skip_mail = true;

to block the email sent, but now how i can make use to the new filter?

if i do in my wpcf7_before_send_mail function:

$posted_data["skip_mail"] = true;

and in the filter i do:

function my_skip_mail($f){
    $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
    ob_start();                // start buffer capture
    var_dump( $posted_data );      // dump the values
    $contents = ob_get_contents(); // put the buffer into a variable
    ob_end_clean();                // end capture
    error_log( $contents );        // log contents of the result of var_dump( $object )
    if( $posted_data["skip_mail"] == 'true' ){
        return true; // DO NOT SEND E-MAIL
    }
}

On the error_log file the content of $posted_data don’t have the skip_mail element and i can’t compare anything to block the email sending.

Fixed, the filter function:

function my_skip_mail($f){
    if( $posted_data["skip_mail"] == 'true' ){
        return true; // DO NOT SEND E-MAIL
    }
}

you don’t need:

$submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
    $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();

If you use that, $posted_data will be rewrited and you lose the skip_mail key on the array.

false alarm, you can’t get $posted_data with new params added on wpcf7_before_send_mail from the wpcf7_skip_mail filter

@richzendy and how did you fix this?

I have still a similar situation. In my case i don’t think this works

function testFunction($WPCF7_ContactForm) {
 $wpcf7 = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current();

        $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
        if ($submission) {
            $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
//            print_r($posted_data);
//            die();
        }
 $wpcf7 = WPCF7_ContactForm::get_current();
            $wpcf7->skip_mail = true;// doesn't work??

i also set in submission.php private $skip_mail = false;
