## Description

**EntryVault for Contact Form 7** is an independent third-party plugin that stores
every successful Contact Form 7 submission in custom database tables, gives you 
a searchable and filterable admin dashboard, lets you view individual entries, and
exports to CSV or JSON in one click.

_This plugin is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way officially connected
with the Contact Form 7 project or its author._

#### Key Features

 * **Automatic capture** – hooks into `wpcf7_mail_sent`; zero configuration needed.
 * **Custom DB tables** – scalable two-table design (`wp_cf7_entries` + `wp_cf7_entry_meta`).
 * **Admin dashboard** – `WP_List_Table`-based entries list with sortable columns,
   search, form filter, date-range filter, and pagination.
 * **Single entry view** – clean detail page showing every submitted field.
 * **Bulk & single delete** – with nonce-protected confirmation.
 * **CSV export** – UTF-8 BOM included for Excel compatibility; respects current
   filters.
 * **JSON export** – machine-readable; respects current filters.
 * **CFDB7 import** – import previously exported CSV files from the Contact Form
   CFDB7 plugin, with full duplicate detection.
 * **REST API** – `GET/DELETE /cf7em/v1/entries`, `GET /cf7em/v1/entries/{id}`, `
   GET /cf7em/v1/analytics` (admin-only).
 * **Analytics page** – per-form submission counts with progress bars.
 * **Settings page** – control whether data is preserved or deleted on plugin removal.
 * **Developer hooks** – `do_action('evcf7_after_entry_saved', ...)` and `apply_filters('
   evcf7_entry_data', ...)`.
 * **Performance** – indexed DB columns; assets loaded only on plugin pages; batch
   meta queries.
 * **Security** – nonces on all forms and actions; all inputs sanitised; all outputs
   escaped; fully prepared SQL queries.

#### Requirements

 * WordPress 6.0 or later
 * PHP 7.4 or later
 * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) (any recent version)

#### Developer Hooks

**Action – fired after an entry is saved:**

    ```
    do_action( 'evcf7_after_entry_saved', $entry_id, $form_id, $fields, $contact_form );
    ```

**Filter – modify field data before it is stored:**

    ```
    add_filter( 'evcf7_entry_data', function( $fields, $form_id, $contact_form ) {
        unset( $fields['your-hidden-field'] );
        return $fields;
    }, 10, 3 );
    ```

**Action – fired after a CFDB7 CSV row is imported:**

    ```
    do_action( 'evcf7_after_cfdb7_import', $entry_id, $cfdb7_id, $fields );
    ```

#### REST API

All endpoints require `manage_options` capability (administrator).

    ```
    GET    /wp-json/cf7em/v1/entries
    GET    /wp-json/cf7em/v1/entries/{id}
    DELETE /wp-json/cf7em/v1/entries/{id}
    GET    /wp-json/cf7em/v1/analytics
    ```

Supported query parameters for the list endpoint: `form_id`, `date_from`, `date_to`,`
search`, `per_page` (max 100), `page`, `order` (ASC|DESC).

## Installation

 1. Upload the `entryvault-contact-form-7` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through **Plugins  Installed Plugins**.
 3. A new **EntryVault CF7** menu appears in the WordPress admin sidebar.
 4. Ensure Contact Form 7 is installed and active.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin modify Contact Form 7 in any way?

No. It only listens to the `wpcf7_mail_sent` action hook, which CF7 fires after 
a form is submitted successfully. No CF7 files are touched.

### Is this plugin officially affiliated with Contact Form 7?

No. EntryVault for Contact Form 7 is an independent third-party plugin. It is not
affiliated with, endorsed by, or in any way connected with the Contact Form 7 project
or its author.

### Will existing submissions be imported automatically?

Not automatically. You can import a previously exported CFDB7 CSV via **EntryVault
CF7  Import CSV**.

### Can I export only a subset of entries?

Yes. Apply your filters (date range, search keyword) on the entries page before 
clicking Export CSV or Export JSON.

### Where is the data stored?

In two custom database tables: `{prefix}cf7_entries` and `{prefix}cf7_entry_meta`.
No data is sent to any external server.

### Does uninstalling the plugin delete my data?

No, not by default. When you delete the plugin, your stored entries and database
tables are preserved so reinstalling later restores all data. To delete everything
on uninstall, go to **EntryVault CF7  Settings** and enable the data-deletion option.

### Is it compatible with CFDB7?

Yes. CSV exports use the same column format as CFDB7 (`Id, Date, Status, Name, Email,
Subject, Message`) so data can be freely moved between both plugins.

### I was using “CF7 Entries Manager & Export” — do I need to migrate?

No. Version 1.3.0 is a direct rename/rebrand of “CF7 Entries Manager & Export”. 
Your existing database tables, settings, and entries are fully preserved. Simply
update the plugin; no migration is required.

## Changelog

#### 1.4.0

   relying solely on enqueued/inline stylesheets, guaranteeing correct rendering

   the CSS pipeline behaves.
 * Added: `Requires Plugins: contact-form-7` header so WordPress checks Contact 
   Form 7 is installed/active before allowing activation.

   wp_add_inline_style()` and inline `style` attributes, per WordPress.org Plugin
   Check requirements.
