db – exclude fields

  • Resolved laCabriole

    Hi , very useful plug In, thank you.
    Having a form with about 500 fields, I would like to know if it is possible to delimit the saving to db to certain fields by a custom filter for I need only about 10 field values in the db.
    I read “vsz-cf7-db-function.php”. Is it for instance possible and would that work to add a lot of fields to the “$cf7d_no_save_fields” array of the “vsz_cf7_no_save_fields()” function ?
    And : how could I entirely exclude another form from being saved?
    Could I add a conditional, and where (vsz_cf7_get_posted_data($cf7) ?) excluding a specified CF7 ID?
    Thanx in advance

    Hello @lacabriole,

    Yes, you can modify the code at your own risk. You can add the fields name to the $cf7d_no_save_fields but, you need to take in consideration that if two forms have the same name and you need to exclude from 1 form only, then it will not work. The field data will be excluded from both the forms.

    We will not be responsible for any data loss or any miss configurations happen on your site.

    You can restrict a form submission to the database by condition but it needs to be added to “vsz_cf7_before_send_email” function in the same file. Hoping that you know the correct way to add a condition, you can restrict the particular form submission by CF7 id.

    Just to let you know, we will not be responsible for any data loss or site error occurred. This will be up to your own risk.

    Thanks for the answer,

    I tried the first part ($cf7d_no_save_fields) before and it works well.
    The exclusion of an entire form will be next. Not everybody wants to save every form of the site by default. That could be a neat but simple future feature of the plugIn: choosing the form to save.

    I made another observation: Using your plugin in two identical sites (clones as to say), in one of them the plugIn wouldn’t save any display preferences like hiding fields or setting field order, names etc. I had to write them directly into the db by creating the entries manually.

    Best regards

    Hello @lacabriole,

    There is no such provision to exclude the full form submission to the database.

    We will check into the identical case of yours, but according to us, it might be some other issue.

    If you have cloned the original site then, the functionality must work according to the settings set in the original site. Then you can alter the changes in the cloned site. if still, you have an issue, you can share your site link at [email protected]

    Tanks again for the answer,

    the two sites are identical (real clones) in technical terms ( same virtual host, same WP installation, same theme, same child theme and custom pages, same plugins, same custom functions, etc,) and they were cloned before I installed the db-plugin …
    but no problem. As I said, I created the entries manually and they don’t have to change.

    you may close the topic.

    Hello Micky,

    You would be glad to know that we have provided filters before saving the data to the database.

    You can find the example in the FAQ section, in addition, we have also provided the filter for restricting certain form saving to our DB.

    Hope you will enjoy the new features.
