Wordpress Contact form 7 custom shortcodes

问题:

Contact form 7 has some shortcodes, like [_date] to get todays date. But I want to display the date one week from now.

So I need to create a custom shortcode to Contact form 7 that takes say [next_week] and in the recived email the correct date is displayed.

Where and how do I create custom shortcodes to Contact form 7?

回答1:

Add the following to your functions.php

wpcf7_add_shortcode('custom_date', 'wpcf7_custom_date_shortcode_handler', true);

function wpcf7_custom_date_shortcode_handler($tag) {
    if (!is_array($tag)) return '';

    $name = $tag['name'];
    if (empty($name)) return '';

    $next_week = date('Y-m-d', time() + (60*60*24*7)); 
    $html = '<input type="hidden" name="' . $name . '" value="' . $next_week . '" />';
    return $html;
}

Now in the "Form" field in CF7 GUI type [custom_date next_week]

Now you can use [next_week] in the message body.

This is a bit late to the response party, but I keep seeing this post when I want to add custom shortcodes to my forms and message body. I wanted to be able to insert shortcodes without registering them special in CF7 and often in the message body only (something CF7 doesn't seem to be able to do).

Here's how I finally did it:

// Allow custom shortcodes in CF7 HTML form
add_filter( 'wpcf7_form_elements', 'dacrosby_do_shortcodes_wpcf7_form' );
function dacrosby_do_shortcodes_wpcf7_form( $form ) {
    $form = do_shortcode( $form );
    return $form;
}

// Allow custom shortcodes in CF7 mailed message body
add_filter( 'wpcf7_mail_components', 'dacrosby_do_shortcodes_wpcf7_mail_body', 10, 2 );
function dacrosby_do_shortcodes_wpcf7_mail_body( $components, $number ) {
    $components['body'] = do_shortcode( $components['body'] );
    return $components;
};

// Add shortcode normally as per WordPress API
add_shortcode('my_code', 'my_code_callback');
function my_code_callback($atts){
    extract(shortcode_atts(array(
        'foo' => 'bar'
    ), $atts));

    // do things
    return $foo;
}

There are two types of tags in CF7: form tags (the contact form itself) and mail tags (a email) — read more.

1. Custom form tags:

   To add a custom form tag you can use wpcf7_add_form_tag() function on wpcf7_init action hook (Read more).

   The wpcf7_add_shortcode() function in the accepted answer is considered to be deprecated and replaced by this function.

2. Custom mail tags:

   I didn't find any built-in functionality to add custom mail tags but I believe there are multiple possible workarounds here:

   1. Enable custom shortcodes (don't forget to create the shortcode handler beforehand):

      • For mail components, according to the DACrosby's answer.
      • For entire mail (all components), using wpcf7_special_mail_tags filter:

   function my_special_mail_tag( $output, $name, $html ) {
       if ( 'myshortcode' === $name ) {
           $output = do_shortcode( "[$name]" );
       }
       return $output;
   }
   add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'my_special_mail_tag', 10, 3 );
   

   2. Add a custom hidden form tag with the prepopulated data to the form, and then use it in the mail: [my-custom-form-tag-with-some-prepopulated-data]; the custom form tag should be registered with the wpcf7_add_form_tag(), as specified above.

I haven't do before, but I think that shortcodes are managed by wordpress itself (even for plugins as CF7).

An example to create a simple shortcode is:

//[foobar]
function foobar_func( $atts ){
 return "foo and bar";
}
add_shortcode( 'foobar', 'foobar_func' );

Placed in functions.php.

Or you can use a plugin like this that do the work: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/shortbus/
