Simple Output Function for a Selectmenu

Hello, @jolution

Thank you for your comments.
And what a great idea to show it in CF7.
I have never done it before, so it is very interesting.

shortcode: [ccc_my_favorite_list_custom_template]
Please see the related topic for usage. (Third thread from the end)

If this does not work for you, please contact me again.
We’d love to figure out a way together!

Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback. I have already discovered the post and therefore wanted to use the function. But, I only received a list of all of my contributions, not just a list of favorites.

The part with creating the select fields would not be a problem.

I really only need a tip on how I can expand this part so that all noted page names (including ID) are output as pure text.

	// https://de.www.ads-software.com/plugins/my-favorites/
	function ccc_my_favorite_list_custom_template( $my_favorite_post_id=false ) {
		return "OUTPUT SELECT LIST WITH FAVORTIES"; //$my_favorite_post_id;
	}

Hi, @jolution

Thanks for the reply.
You’ve already seen that post, thanks.

Couldn’t you use the following code?
I wrote it only in this textarea, so it may be a bit wrong, but I think it looks like this.

function ccc_my_favorite_list_custom_template( $my_favorite_post_id=false ) {
  $args= array(
    'post_type' => 'any',
    'post__in' => $my_favorite_post_id,
    'orderby' => 'post__in',
    'posts_per_page' => -1,
  );
  $the_query = new WP_Query($args);
  if( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
    while( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
      $the_query->the_post();

      the_title();

    } //endwhile
  } //endif
} //endfunction

I haven’t tried to write it this way to see if it works, but if I think about it, you may need a way similar to this, since it is only a setting for the shortcode, not a function call.

function custom_post_select($tag) {
  return do_shortcode('[ccc_my_favorite_list_custom_template]');
}

Thanks.

good evening, thanks for the code. I had already tried the do_shortcode, but it didn’t work for me.

With a slight adjustment, I can use your code to ensure that all posts appear, but I only needed the favorite ones. Do I have a mistake in reasoning?

Good evening ! It’s worked out. I have adapted the code and now an output for CF7. You are very welcome to adopt the code or include it in the documentation if others could use it.

Dear takashimatsuyama, my template works when I’m logged in ??
Unfortunately I don’t get any data if I’m not logged in :-‘/

The source uses the $_POST variable for this, but I don’t know it in the template.
If you want, I can make the finished script available on Github for you, if you like.

Could you still help me how to get the localStorage data?

Here is my actual code:
https://gist.github.com/jolution/7e663f425e3f3286c4527855bf3a66b8

I think I got it right, I still have to clean up and test, but looks good so far.

P.s. Why can’t I delete or adjust old unanswered comments?

Here is my actual code:

Hi @jolution,

Thank You for the code, appreciated. Seems to work on my end as well, however can you provide a few pointers on how to include the list in email notifications.
The shortcode does not seem to work with emails. I must be missing something obvious. ??

Cheers, TY!

And now ran into the same logged out visitors problem as well … ??

Did you get it working in the end?

Cheers.

Hi, @jolution and @millend

I’m sorry for the late reply.

I am not sure about this CF7, but the following code may help you to get the data of non-logged-in users.

Code at line 171 of “assets/select.js“.

if( CCC_MY_FAVORITE_UPDATE.user_logged_in == false ) {
    /* Store the name of the storage key of the favorite post in a variable (call the storage_key function of CCC.favorite) */
    var favorite_key = CCC.favorite.storage_key();
    /* Get the value of the specified key from the local storage */
    var favorite_value = localStorage.getItem(favorite_key);
......

So,

var favorite_value = localStorage.getItem('ccc-my_favorite_post');

Thanks.

Hi @millend,

Shortcodes:

The confusing thing about my code is that the shortcode for the mail section is called “favorites”. I adjusted it in the upper area of ??the Gist. Sorry for that ??

• CF7 form: [menulist]
• CF7 Mail: [favorites]

Logged-out users:

Yes, I had that problem too. If you are logged in, @takashimatsuyama uses the database (get_user_meta), otherwise the browser cache (localstorage / sanitize_text_field).
It works for me now. Do you have the current code status?

General:
If you want, feel free to optimize my gist. Or if @takashimatsuy wants to, I can also push it into the core, if he wanted.

Thanks @takashimatsuy for the plugin at this point.
