Currently there isn’t a way to set the default value. This would be a good addition, but I need to figure out how I can allow setting a default value as well as still be backward compatible.

I’ve put it on my to do list https://github.com/Hube2/contact-form-7-dynamic-select-extension/issues

I have been looking into this and I can’t seem to figure out how to incorporate pipes and _raw_ into this plugin. The problem here is that the values of the select field do not actually appear in the cf7 tag to cause it do the processing that would normally be done in when pipes are included the select values.

I would welcome input on this if there is someone that thinks they can modify this plugin to add this feature. I have this plugin on github https://github.com/Hube2/contact-form-7-dynamic-select-extension, along with my other plugins. I will accept pull requests and give credit to other developers for any contributions. My only request is that the plugin stays focused on dynamic select fields and does not expand into other types of fields.

It appears that there was a bug introduced into this plugin the last time I updated it. Working on the problem now.

Hi,

You can put your filter function into your function.php file in your theme.

You don’t need to call the function, this plugin deals with calling your filter.

// example of what goes in functions.php
// in add filter

// "my-filter-name" is the name of the filter
// Enter this into the filter field when creating the CF7 field

// "my_filter_function" is the name of the function that is called
add_filter('my-filter-name', 'my_fitler_function', 10, 2);

function my_filter_function($value, $args) {
  // set value and return
  $value = 'my value';
  return $value;
}

Hoping this helps.

Right now I’m just returning the selected value as sent in $_POST.

Can you post a link to documentation for this on standard select fields in CF7 and I’ll dig through it and the CF7 code to see what I can do.

In the mean time you can set the label and value to the same value in your filter. That was my thinking when I created the plugin so that it could be as simple a possible and let the filter make all of the decisions.

Sorry, I took done that plugin and the site. The parametric search plugin was too bugging and I didn’t want people using it until I could work some major kinks out of it. The documentation here is complete. If anyone has specific questions about the documentation or how to do something specific I can try to answer questions. The focus of this plugins is other developers.
