    I use the newsletter registration in a member area for logged in users. The essential user data (email, first name, last name …) are known. This allows me to fill in the form. I simply copy and paste the form via shortcode according to the following pattern:

    
$email = $current_user->user_email;
<form action="..." method="post" data-av-custom-send="mailchimp_send" ...>
...
<input name="avia_0_1" class="text_input is_email" type="text" id="avia_0_1" value="' . $email . '" />
...
</form>

    It works. However, I still need a hidden real layout builder form on the site to select the newsletters list.

    Is there a more elegant method (filter) to fill the form automatically. Could you please show me the code snippets. I still have 2 extra fields (text and dropdown).

    Regards
    Günter

    Hey Günter,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    Where can we see the form? What do you mean by “hidden real layout builder form”? A screenshot or a link to the actual page containing the form will help.

    Plan A

    I am looking for a way to fill in the fields of the form with known values. I do not know the correct syntax.
    I am looking for a correct syntax for the lines between comment lines:

    
function set_mailchimp_values() {
 // Is that possible? 
 $values = array( field nameA, type='text', value = 'VARIABLE1',
                  field nameB, type='dropdown', value = 'VARIABLE2',
                  etc.,
                  )
 return $values;
 // How do I set these values?
 }
add_action( 'ava_mailchimp_contact_form_elements', 'set_mailchimp_values' );

    Plan B
    Because I do not know how to set the values with Action / Filter, I chose the described variant. Hidden form means “display: none;”

    Please help me to realize Plan A.

    Hi Günter,

    Unfortunately, it would require quite some time and customization of the theme to achieve this, so I am sorry to tell you that this is not covered by our support. However, if it’s really important for you to get this done, you can always hire a freelancer to do the job for you or use a plugin that has the function to add such values :)

    Best regards,
    Victoria

    Hi Victoria,

    pity, but the less elegant version with the manually copied form works yes.

    Thanks anyway

    Hi Günter,

    Well, you can look at this file too if your php is strong enough
    /enfold/config-templatebuilder/avia-shortcodes/mailchimp/mailchimp.php

    If you need further assistance please let us know.

    Hi Victoria,

    thanks for the tip. I still found a solution without php knowledge. In the shortcode, the individual fields have an option value. I have packed the newsletter shortcode into a new shortcode and can thus enter the values for the individual fields as a variable, for example: [av_mailchimp_field id = '0' label = 'Email Address' type = 'text' value = '$email' disabled = '' check = 'is_email'] .

    Best regards
    Günter
