2 separate databases from 1 contact form?

  • Hello,

    I have a question about this plugin. I have a client that wants to store the contact form details into 2 separate databases that he can use later on with various newsletters. For example:

    There is 1 contact form on the page, with a dropdown menu. If user chooses option #1 from the dropdown menu, the form details (email, name etc) are saved into database #1 after the mail gets sent. If user chooses option #2 from the dropdown menu, the details are saved into databse #2. So I’m trying to find out if this can be achieved with your awesome plugin, as I am kind of a newb with such things.

    Sorry for my english, it is not my native language ??

    Thanks in advance,
    Kosteph

    First, the word “Database” is often used in different ways. All the information is saved into the same MySQL Database used by your WordPress server. Form entries are organized by their form title in the database. I think you want to save form submissions to two separate form names.

    I refer you to the page on Changing Data Before it is Saved. You could write code such that you change the value of $formData->title based on some value in the $formData->posted_data[] array.
