Send all of a dropdown in Contact Form 7 - php

Question

I need to send a full array of custom field to a mail (dynamicaly populate) with contact Form 7 to work it here before sending :
// define the wpcf7_posted_data callback
function action_wpcf7_posted_data($array)
{
$a = get_field('date')
//WORK HERE
$array['Nom & Prénom'] = $array['name'];
unset($array['name']);
$array['E-mail'] = $array['email'];
unset($array['email']);
$array['Téléphone'] = $array['tel'];
unset($array['tel']);
$array['Profession'] = $array['job'];
unset($array['job']);
$array['Session'] = $array['upcoming-gigs'];
unset($array['upcoming-gigs']);
unset($array['privacy']);
return $array;
}
add_filter('wpcf7_posted_data', 'action_wpcf7_posted_data', 10, 1);
Because it's before sending a mail I can't call anything to compare before sending.
So I want to send all the data in a hidden input next to compare it.
This the two input in contact Form 7 :
[select upcoming-gigs data:gigs id:date] [hidden select upcoming-gigs2 data:gigs2]
My goal here is to send all the data of the hidden select.
I don't find a way to send all input in the mail.
Is it possible ? There is a better way ?
Thx
EDIT :
My question mark2 :
The goal is to send a mail with the date of the session and the id of it.
I use ACF and I have :
And after a dynamic dropdown, it's look like this for the user :
The problem is I don't have the id of the session, only the date.
To know the id I need to compar to the array of all the custom field, I can't import it during wpcf7_posted_data.
I think if I send all the data of the array in a hidden field, I could remake the array and find the id of the session my user choose.
I hope I'm clearer.
(I can't make a request in php during wpcf7_posted_data. Can I make an ajax request ?)
EDIT2 :
This my hidden select with session and text
This is the html of contact form 7 the rest is div for CSS
[select upcoming-date data:date id:date] [hidden select upcoming-date2 data:date2]
EDIT3 :
Okay get it.
The custom fields I use to make the dropdown are in two part id and text. I have the text part I need the id.
If I send every text and id in the mail I can compare to the answer of the user et add to the mail the right id.
Here the generated html : http://www.sharemycode.fr/5ax
EDIT 4 :
That where I write the id and text of the dropdown :
That where I create the select :
add_filter('wpcf7_form_tag_data_option', function ($n, $options, $args) {
$ses = (array)get_field('date_new');
$sesCount = count($ses);
$gigs = [];
$gigs2 = [];
if (in_array('gigs', $options)) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $sesCount; $i++) {
if ($ses[$i]['date_start'] > date('d-m-Y', time())) {
$a = "A réaliser entre le " . $ses[$i]['date_start'] . " et le " . $ses[$i]['date_end'] ." | bla";
array_push($gigs, $a);
}
}
return $gigs;
}
}

Answer 1

It looks like this is supported by Contact Form 7 natively, it's just not very obvious on how to make it happen.
Here's a documentation page explaining the functionality: http://contactform7.com/selectable-recipient-with-pipes/
Basically all you have to do is put the values like so:
Visible Value|actual-form-value
What comes before the pipe "|" character will be shown in the form, and what comes after will be the actual value filled in for the form.
EDIT kanarpp :
I add my code here to separate the answer of HowardE.
This is how I dynamicaly create my select :
add_filter('wpcf7_form_tag_data_option', function ($n, $options, $args) {
$ses = (array)get_field('date');
$sesCount = count($ses);
$date= [];
if (in_array('date', $options)) {
for ($i = 0; $i < $sesCount; $i++) {
if ($ses[$i]['date_start'] > date('d-m-Y', time())) {
$a = "A réaliser entre le " . $ses[$i]['date_start'] . " et le " . $ses[$i]['date_end'] ." | bla";
array_push($date, $a);
}
}
return $date;
}
It's not working, I use Smart Grid-Layout Design for Contact Form 7 to create dynmicaly my select

Answer 2

I would create a custom form tag for the select. The following code will create a custom form tag called [gigs] which would be used like this:
[gigs upcoming-gigs]
I've also included ability to add the * and make it required.
My assumptions are how you're actually getting the ACF fields, which I can't actually do, since I don't have them, and you haven't completely shared how it's stored. You would add this to your functions.php.
add_action('wpcf7_init', function (){
wpcf7_add_form_tag( array('gigs', 'gigs*'), 'dd_cf7_upcoming_gigs' , array('name-attr' => true) );
});
function dd_cf7_upcoming_gigs($tag) {
if ( empty( $tag->name ) ) {
return '';
}
$validation_error = wpcf7_get_validation_error( $tag->name );
$class = wpcf7_form_controls_class( $tag->type );
if ( $validation_error ) {
$class .= ' wpcf7-not-valid';
}
$atts = array();
$atts['class'] = $tag->get_class_option( $class );
$atts['id'] = $tag->get_id_option();
$atts['tabindex'] = $tag->get_option( 'tabindex', 'signed_int', true );
if ( $tag->is_required() ) {
$atts['aria-required'] = 'true';
}
if ( $validation_error ) {
$atts['aria-invalid'] = 'true';
$atts['aria-describedby'] = wpcf7_get_validation_error_reference(
$tag->name
);
} else {
$atts['aria-invalid'] = 'false';
}
// Make first option unselected and please choose
$html = '<option value="">- - '. __('Please Choose', 'text-domain'). ' - -</option>';
// This part you may have to update with your custom fields
$ses = (array)get_field('date_new');
$sesCount = count($ses);
for ($i = 0; $i < $sesCount; $i++) {
if ($ses[$i]['date_start'] > date('d-m-Y', time())) {
$a = "A réaliser entre le " . $ses[$i]['date_start'] . " et le " . $ses[$i]['date_end'];
// if session ID is in fact $ses[$i]['session']
$html .= sprintf( '<option %1$s>%2$s</option>',
$ses[$i]['session'], $a );
}
}
foreach ($gigs as $key => $value){
$html .= sprintf( '<option %1$s>%2$s</option>',
$key, $value );
}
$atts['name'] = $tag->name;
$atts = wpcf7_format_atts( $atts );
$html = sprintf(
'<span class="wpcf7-form-control-wrap %1$s"><select %2$s>%3$s</select>%4$s</span>',
sanitize_html_class( $tag->name ), $atts, $html, $validation_error
);
return $html;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_gigs', 'dd_validate_gigs_filter', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_gigs*', 'dd_validate_gigs_filter', 10, 2 );
function dd_validate_gigs_filter( $result, $tag ) {
$name = $tag->name;
$has_value = isset( $_POST[$name] ) && '' !== $_POST[$name];
if ( $has_value and $tag->has_option( 'multiple' ) ) {
$vals = array_filter( (array) $_POST[$name], function( $val ) {
return '' !== $val;
} );
$has_value = ! empty( $vals );
}
if ( $tag->is_required() and ! $has_value ) {
$result->invalidate( $tag, wpcf7_get_message( 'invalid_required' ) );
}
return $result;
}
