    Hi,
    I am trying to determine if there is a way to customize the fields of the form that users need to fill out.
    We plan to use this great plugin mainly to reserve a function room for meetings / functions etc for members of our community.
    The fields we want are:
    Your Name
    Phone
    Email
    Lot Number
    Address
    Check in {I’ve included this}
    Check out {I’ve included this}
    I agree to Rules of Use {tick box}
    Comments
    Resource {we only need the ‘Function Room’}
    Thanks

    Oliver

    Hi Ozimn,

    The fields stored in the database cannot be customize.
    The fields added to the database are:
    Your Name – [text* your-name]
    Your Email – [email* your-email]
    Checkin Date – [date* start_date id:start_date ]
    Checkout Date – [date* end_date id:end_date ]
    Telephone Number – [text* your-phone]
    Country – [select* your-country ….]
    Correspondence language – [select* your-language “nl””en”]
    The fields are in the syntax of ContactForm 7. If a field is not present the corresponding database field remains empty.
    Of course you may add different fields only to be part of the email send. The labels as shown to the user can of course be customized.
    Regards,

    Thank you Jan

    So as I understand it you cannot add any more fields to the database – not quite sure what you mean by adding fields to the email send- are you talking about contact 7 form fields ?
    So you can create more fields but they will not be captured in the database- is that correct?

    Also would you know of other plugins that would be customisable in the way described?

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Oliver ,

    Your understanding is correct, you cannot add any fields to the database. But the output (click on submit) of ContactForm7 is twofold, it stores the fixed fields in the database and it sends all fields (including the fixed fields) in an email. For the latest you have to configure the ContactForm7 email tab as normal.
    So the owner receives all information, the database also has the fields required to present the calendar.

    No I do not know any other plugin that would be customisable in the way described.

    Regards,
