add a name attribute on the form element and make your mail section shortcode out of it.
Example:
<li name="custom_name"> some list </li>
in the mail section/message you will use [custom_name] as your shortcode to display input from the
<li> field in your email.</li>
I mean, to shortcode, like this:
// [foobar]
foobar_func function ($ atts) {
return "foo and bar";
}
add_shortcode ('foobar', 'foobar_func');
So that was attached to the message content “foo and bar”.
Try this: Custom shortcode in emails.
@mods: A not closed <li> close to the end of above post of davmerit seems to kill the layout..
Layout Fixed 🙂 Folks remember to always encapsulate your code with backticks or use the code button.
Thanks
Ov3rfly, thank you for link, this is working.
add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'foobar_func', 10, 3 );
//[foobar]
function foobar_func( $atts ){
return "foo and bar";
}
add_shortcode( 'foobar', 'foobar_func' );
insert [foobar] to Message Body.
This might work for this one case but it is just wrong, it does return the same output for every possible special mail tag.
Here is a correct version based on the linked code example:
add_filter( 'wpcf7_special_mail_tags', 'your_special_mail_tag', 10, 3 );
function your_special_mail_tag( $output, $name, $html ) {
if ( 'foobar' == $name )
$output = do_shortcode( '[foobar]' );
return $output;
}
// [foobar]
function foobar_func( $atts) {
return "foo and bar";
}
add_shortcode ('foobar', 'foobar_func');
