How do I add a drop down menu in Contact Forms 7? All I want is preferred method of contact [phone, fax, or email].
Really new to this and would appreciate a step by step. I already have the form filled out with name, address, email, phone and subject. This is the last thing I need. Thank you!

You can go on the right side and press “Generate Tag” and pick “Drop-down menu”.
For example:
[select* prefMethod
“Phone”
“Fax”
“Email”]
Alright like I said newbie. I went to the drop Generate Tag & picked drop down menu. I copied everything that it asked me to fill out & pasted it here because when I went to look at the form all that it showed was “] instead of Preferred Method of Contact with the drop down. What did I do wrong?
Required field?
Name
id (optional)
class (optional)
Choices
[select* prefMethod
“Phone”
“Fax”
“Email”]
* One choice per line.
Allow multiple selections?
Insert a blank item as the first option?
Copy this code and paste it into the form left.
And, put this code into the Mail fields below.

<p>Preferred Method of Contact:
[select* prefMethod
“Phone”
“Fax”
“Email”]</p>
I think this is the code you’re looking for unless I’m misunderstanding something. Just try copy-pasting that into your form and it should work.
Thank you so, so much! That worked perfectly, thank you for your patience!!
Is there a way to capture the left side of the pipe for recipients?
Example: [select your-recipient “CEO|johndoe@example.com”
“Sales|bettyjohnson@example.com”
“Support|williampenn@example.com”]
I know [your-recipient] in the Message Body would put in the email address for the selected recipient. I also want to be able to list the Title. Example: “Support” vs “williampenn@example.com”.
Is there a way to do this?
It’s sort of along these lines and Unnar, you seem to know Contact From 7 very well…
I’m trying to make a series of drop downs to display date selection.
I have it all in place, but it is displaying in block form, eg:
Day
Month
Year
I’d like it to display inline:
Day Month Year
I’ve had a look through the style css and changed a couple fo things but it didn’t seem to make a difference…do you have any ideas?
(Unfortunately I’m building off localhost, so can’t direct you to the site)

I cannot find any way to do this easily, it seems that you would need to mess with the Javascript to make this work. I’ll let you know if I find a solution.
