your filter function should be added to your functions.php file.

I’m not sure how to tell you to do this.

The filter that you need to build for this plugin can use the value of other fields in the form. For example, if you had a hidden field what has the user ID of the current user named ‘user_id’ you can pass the value of that field to the filter in this plugin by including another hidden field named “dynamic-mail-to-fields” with the value “user_id”. Then you can get the user’s email from that in the filter that sets the email address.

There are two fields that this plugin depends on to work and it’s better if both of them are hidden.

The first is the field named “dynamic-mail-to-filter” which sets the hook of the filter to use. For example, if you add_filter('my_dynamic_mailto_filter', 'my_dynamic_mailto_function', 10, 2) then the value of this field would be “my_dynamic_mailto_filter”.

The second field is the one I mentioned above. The value of this field should be a comma separated list names of any other form fields in the current form whose values you want to pass to the filter. If the value was “user_id,some_other_field” then the value of the second parameter of the filter would be

Array(
  [user_id] => 1,
  [some_other_field] => some other value
)

hope that helps

add a value to the beginning of the returned selections like

$choices = array(
  '' => '-- please select --',
  '1' => 'Choice 1'
  // etc....
)

I think it’s because the line in the plugin that includes my examples was uncommented and you have the same function in your theme. I have commented the line again and the update should clear up your problem.

You should probably rename the example function when you copy it to a theme.

Yes, when I originally created this plugin I had a client that wanted to
1) Be able to have a select group of “Subjects”
2) Different contact form submitted with different subjects needed to be emailed to different people
3) They wanted to be able to adjust the subjects and the email addresses on a regular basis

I created an ACF options page with a repeater where they could set the subject lines and associated email addresses.

The dynamic select field on the form draws the subjects from this repeater.

Then I built the dynamic recipient plugin to alter the recipient of the email sent by CF7. This required the use of the hidden field plugin so that I could communicate the value needed to select the right email.

It’s probably not the most elegant way to achieve the results I was looking for, but after hours or digging through CF7 and looking at other addons created for CF7 by other developers, it was the best solution I could come up with.

No, this plugin does not include any pipe functionality. As I’ve said in other topics, I don’t know how to add it to the plugin.

This plugin only works with simple value/label pairs.

I’m still willing to take pull requests on GitHub if anyone can figure it out and get it to work. Currently I have very little time to work on adding such a feature or spending the hours digging through the ACF code to see what needs to be done. It’s just very low on my priority list right now.
