[Plugin: WP Favorite Posts] Mailing Favourite list to site owner

I have been experimenting with this also and trying to enable mailing the favorite posts to a site administrator. I have tried some wacky things but to no avail. Is there a way to accomplish this?

Can anyone please help with this issue???? I really need to understand How to do this for a client. I am at a loss and there seems to be no response or help.

Someone?

I appreciate the suggestion. The plugin you listed is no longer supported. What I am building is not e- commerce but needs a “favorited” function/feature. I have invested quite a bit of time in this already and know that somehow it’s possible if someone with more knowledge than myself were willing to help.

No I have not found a solution to this yet and it’s been grating on me. I am not sure but maybe we can put our heads together to figure it out then post it back here for future help. Are you on skype? My name is [ redacted ]

@iftomkins will you skype me? We could figure it out together probably.

Looks like they redacted my skype name but tuesday would be fine. Email me at hello[at]philoveracity.com and we can have a meeting of the minds.

You can use the Gravity Forms plugin to prepopulate a message field with the favorite post. When you embed the form, you can pass an array to it containing values for each field. We will first construct that array ($field_values), then embed the form.

In the form editor, add a Paragraph field for the message body. Go to the Advanced tab and check “Allow field to be populated dynamically”. It will ask you for a Parameter Name. Type in something like “message_body”.

Now you can embed this form by calling the gravity_form() function directly from your template or by adding an action in your functions.php file. For simplicity I’ll include something you can put in your template:

<?php 

// Get an array containing the favorite post ID's:

$favs = wpfp_get_users_favorites();

// Use the ID's in the array to get the post titles. Construct a string with the titles of the favorited posts:

$message = "Here are your favorite posts:\n";

foreach ( array_keys($favs) as $favID) {
 $message .= get_the_title($favID) . "\n";
}

// Create array of values to pass on to the form embed function. Map $message to 'message_body' parameter selected earlier in the form editor

$field_values = array ( 'message_body' => $message);

// Embed the form with the $field_values array pre-populating it. 

gravity_forms( 1, true, true, false, $field_values, true);

?>

Hope that helps!

Okay so I have tried the above solution but it is only outputting page names in the message field.
