Can I Use CF7 To Build A My Favorites Page for My Site?

  • Sorry to bother you guys. I don’t know if your plugin can do this or not, but after 6 months looking for a solution, I’m desperate. I need a favorites, or bookmark kind of plugin to add to my Avada themed site (my site isn’t Woocommerce – it’s just a regular website), that can give people the option to ‘favorite’ any live bands on my webpages that they like the look and sound of, then when they’re finished looking at our bands and favorited the ones they like, send me the list of their favorited bands, along with a message for me that they can add to that favorites list, like e.g. what date they need the live band for, where their wedding is etc.. just basic data form would do? Can this plugin do these things, generally? I’d also prefer that they didn’t need to sign up – I’d rather they just be guests.

    Please let me know?

    Thank you,
    Stu

  • Hi @stumur

    Well i think you can use wpcf7_before_send_mail action to do that.

    Here is an example: https://contactform7.com/2020/07/28/accessing-user-input-data/

    Thanks Marcos. I’m not too good at this stuff – I would normally just use a ready-to-go plugin, but there don’t seem to be any. This thing you’re suggesting – how do I add a “Add To Shortlist” button etc.. Is your suggestion not a plug and play solution. I doubt I have the skills to make it work if it requires coding etc .. Thank you for replying, I appreciate it!

    Hi, stumur, you could try using this plugin – https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/favorites/ – with a custom post type for bands.

    It’s difficult to suggest a plan of action, as there are currently no plugins that would do what you want.

    Hey Ian! Thank you so much – yes, I have seen that one.. I initially decided to keep looking as the developer hasn’t been active for quite a few years now, but to be honest, it’s still the best one I’ve seen, so I might try again with it. Thank you for the advice on using a BANDS custom post type.. I barely even know what that means, but I’ll start trying to work it out! Thanks so much for your advice – I’ve wasted 6 months on this and got nowhere! ??

    Hey @plantprogrammer – I don’t suppose you’d consider doing this for me? I’m hopeless – I’ve already taken 6 months and got absolutely nowhere.. I’m still looking for plugins! Maybe this one you suggest would work as you say?
