I’m not actively adding features to this plugin. Other plugins suck up too much of my time as it is. If you are interested in coding improvements then I can make you a committer on the project.

Does the “event” value in your listing shortcode match the value in your input form shortcode?

OK, would you give me some example locations you are trying? Either post here or email me at info@cfdbplugin.com

CFDB doesn’t support an array of values just a string. You might try putting the values as a comma delimited string then parse them out when you access it.

It works like this:

Imaging you have selections:
A|email@exmple.com
B|email@exmple.com
C|email@exmple.com

Let’s say someone select’s C.

CF7 tells CFDB that the choice is “email@exmple.com”. But it doesn’t tell CFDB that the selection was C.

So I coded CFDB to look at the form definition to see what is before the “|”. But in this case, email@exmple.com appears 3 times. So there is no way to know if A, B, or C was selected. CF7 doesn’t tell us.

So the only option is to make each email different, like this:

A|email@exmpleA.com
B|email@exmpleB.com
C|email@exmpleC.com

so that when CF7 says that email@exmpleC.com was selected, CFDB can look at the form definition and see that it could only have come from choice C.

But that is inconvenient if you want it to go to the same email always. The “+xxx” trick can be used to make the emails look different, when in fact, they are not. But not all email servers support this feature.

So the only other option is to have 3 different email addresses.

You would have to write Javascript or JQuery to accomplish this. You can create CFDB export links that return JSON to query for values dynamically.

Contact me at info@cfdbplugin.com and tell me the email you are using.

OK, I’m stepping through this.

(1) First I added the CF7 form definition you posted. I have the form email to my email, not to value of the field, just to start. And I haven’t added any code.

I submit choosing Otorgamiento de préstamos de la Caja de Asistencia del Diplomático
The CF7 email and CFDB both show Tramite_AFSDP=mail3@afsdp.org.pe as expected

I submit choosing Venta de libros al contado y/o por descuento de planillas
The CF7 email and CFDB both show Tramite_AFSDP=mail3+AFSDP_6@afsdp.org.pe which is what I expect at this point.

(2) Now I added code from http://cfdbplugin.com/?page_id=804
I add function form_with_pipes_handler exactly
I add the following also (I named my form “emailtest”)

function emailtest_form_handler($formData) // Use a different function name for each form
{
    $formName = 'emailtest'; // change this to your form's name
    $fieldName = 'Tramite_AFSDP'; // change this to your field's name
    $newFieldName = $fieldName . '_email';
    return form_with_pipes_handler($formName, $fieldName, $newFieldName, $formData);
}
add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'emailtest_form_handler'); // ensure 2nd param matches above function name

(3) I repeat the 2 form submissions in (1).

I submit choosing Otorgamiento de préstamos de la Caja de Asistencia del Diplomático
In CFDB I see what I expect:
Tramite_AFSDP=Otorgamiento de préstamos de la Caja de Asistencia del Diplomático
Tramite_AFSDP_email=mail3@afsdp.org.pe

I try choosing Venta de libros al contado y/o por descuento de planillas and submit
As I expect I see in CFDB:
Tramite_AFSDP=Venta de libros al contado y/o por descuento de planillas
Tramite_AFSDP_email=mail3+AFSDP_6@afsdp.org.pe

All good so far. But now to test the sending of email.

(4) I go back to the form definition and set the Mail To field to [Tramite_AFSDP]
I change the emails in form definition to my GMail address and the second to my GMail address with “++AFSDP_6” in it.

(5) I repeat the same 2 form submissions.
I see in CFDB the same as before (but my own emails now)
I get no error.
I receive both emails to my GMail account. The To field shows my email and my email “++AFSDP_6” in it as expected.

Everything appears to work correctly.
