Hi @magaworks,
I love a challenge 🙂
I think your code looks perfect except you can’t use hyphens in your PHP variable names. Change $first-name and $last-lastname to $first_name and $last_name and everything should work.
The only issue is that you might have an extra space for people who didn’t fill out a last name. We could fix that if you’d like.
Cheers,
Kevin.
Ok, can you help me fix the extra space?
Of course.
function additional_contact_form_7_data( $merge_variables, $cf7_variables ) {
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-fname'] ) ) {
$first_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-fname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$last_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$fullname = ! empty( $last_name ) ? $first_name . " " . $last_name : $first_name;
$merge_variables['FNAME'] = $fullname;
}
}
In this snippet, if the last name is empty, we will only add the first name (and no space). If we have a last name we’ll include the first name + a space + the last name.
Cheers,
Kevin.
Oh – make sure to return the $merge_variables array too!
function additional_contact_form_7_data( $merge_variables, $cf7_variables ) {
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-fname'] ) ) {
$first_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-fname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$last_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$fullname = ! empty( $last_name ) ? $first_name . " " . $last_name : $first_name;
$merge_variables['FNAME'] = $fullname;
}
return $merge_variables;
}
Something lije this:
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-fname'] ) ) {
$first_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-fname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$last_lastname = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$fullname = $first_name . " " . $last_lastname;
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'] ) ) {
$merge_variables['FNAME'] = $fullname;
} else {
$merge_variables['FNAME'] = $first_name;
}
}
That would work but you want to check if the $cf7_variables['your-lastname'] is empty rather than if it’s set.
So this line: if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'] ) ) {
Should be this: if ( ! empty( $cf7_variables['your-lastname'] ) ) {
I am not exactly sure how CF7 passes the data but I think $cf7_variables['your-lastname'] will be set regardless of whether the user filled it out (i.e. it’s set but it’s empty).
You win. Your code is cleaner.
But I am not a developer. I am just a fast learner and curious, self-taught.
I think you’re doing great and I only want to help 🙂
Something is not working. It is not sending to mailchimp, althought the Contact Form is sent.
I have Contact form 7 integration on and select the Newsletter list.
Here is my final code:
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-contact-form-7', 'additional_contact_form_7_data', 10, 2 );
function additional_contact_form_7_data( $merge_variables, $cf7_variables ) {
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['your-fname'] ) ) {
$first_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-fname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$last_name = filter_var( $cf7_variables['your-lname'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
$fullname = ! empty( $last_name ) ? $first_name . " " . $last_name : $first_name;
$merge_variables['FNAME'] = $fullname;
}
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['company'] ) ) {
$merge_variables['COMPANY'] = filter_var( $cf7_variables['company'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
}
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['origem-lp'] ) ) {
$merge_variables['ORIGEM'] = filter_var( $cf7_variables['origem-lp'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
}
if ( isset( $cf7_variables['TOS-hiden'] ) ) {
$merge_variables['TOS'] = filter_var( $cf7_variables['TOS-hiden'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );
}
return $merge_variables;
}
Can you enable debugging in the plugin’s settings and let me know if there’s an error showing there?
Do you have the MERGE fields COMPANY, ORIGEM, and TOS in your Mailchimp list?
I have debug enabled and nothing is showing there.
And yes I have those MERGE Fields in Mailchimp.
No fields are mandatory except email.
Are you using our filter to make the integration single opt-in? If not, the subscription will be double opt-in. If you’re using a test email address, the double opt-in will never be confirmed. Could that be the problem?
Yes, I have this code:
add_filter( 'yikes-mailchimp-checkbox-integration-body', 'set_integrations_to_single_optin', 10, 2 );
function set_integrations_to_single_optin( $request_body, $integration_type ) {
$request_body['status_if_new'] = 'subscribed';
$request_body['status'] = 'subscribed';
return $request_body;
}
Just before the other one.
