Process form params instead sending via e-mail

Hi tludwig!

You can use the $new_post and $this->form_params variable to process the data. If you don’t want to send a mail and just use the variables with your application make sure that the hooked function returns false like:

	add_filter('avf_form_send', 'avia_process_form_data', 10, 3);
	function avia_process_form_data($send, $new_post, $form_params)
	{
		//your code which processes the  $new_post and $form_params data.
		return false;
	}

If you want to send a mail after you processed the data use this code instead:

	add_filter('avf_form_send', 'avia_process_form_data', 10, 3);
	function avia_process_form_data($send, $new_post, $form_params)
	{
		//your code which processes the  $new_post and $form_params data.
		return true;
	}

The variable $new_post contains the submitted form data – you can query it like:

	add_filter('avf_form_send', 'avia_process_form_data', 10, 3);
	function avia_process_form_data($send, $new_post, $form_params)
	{
		foreach ($new_post as $current_key => $current_post)
		{
			//loop through all contact form fields. $current_key contains the field name, $current_post the corresponding value.
		}
		return false;
	}

You can also combine this filter with other wordpress filters or actions…

Hi!

1) You don’t need to modify the contact form code/class – you can add the code I posted above in the child theme functions.php file, enfold/functions.php or you can create a custom plugin.

2) The question is what you want to do with the form data. If you just want to process it without sending emails please use this code:

	add_filter('avf_form_send', 'avia_process_form_data', 10, 3);
	function avia_process_form_data($send, $new_post, $form_params)
	{
		foreach ($new_post as $current_key => $current_post)
		{
			//loop through all contact form fields. $current_key contains the field name, $current_post the corresponding value.
		}
		return false;
	}

Then insert your custom code (which processes the form data) below the php comment line.

//loop through all contact form fields. $current_key contains the field name, $current_post the corresponding value.

You can i.e. store the submitted data into the database, write it to a text file, etc. Note that I can’t provide this code because it depends on your php application and it’s also beyond the scope of our support forum.

Cheers!

Hi,

using avia_process_form_data($send, $new_post, $form_params) works fine for processing custom code.

Is it possible to modify the $form_params[‘success’] Message after the form was sent?
I need to show an error message if the custom code processing has failed.

best regards

Thank you Dude, but I’m not a developer, do you mean not using the last double quote or the first double quote onclick?
