* How to insert contact name and email in database after sucessfull submission?

Contact Form 7 has many action/filter hooks in its code. So, if you are familiar with WordPress plugin development, you can use them to save data into DB.  best hook for it at wpcf7_before_send_mail in includes/classes.php

Example:

add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘my_conversion’ );

function my_conversion( $cf7 )
{
$email = $cf7->posted_data["your-email"];
$name = $cf7->posted_data["your-name"];
insert_newsletter_subscriber($email, $name);
}

Note:  You need to write  your own insert_newsletter_subscriber()

———————–  Tip ————————

You can use folowingspecial mail tags  in main body too:

Note that the [_post_*] tag has value only when you put the contact form into content of a post or a page. They are not available if the contact form is put inside a sidebar widget.

The form of those special mail tags has been changed in Contact Form 7 2.2. Old form ([wpcf7.*]) are still supported and able to work.

———————–  Tip ————————

If you want to show a rest form button, add this:
<input type="reset" />

———————–  Tip ————————

if you want to show post title in email body add this:
[wpcf7.post_title]

———————–  Tip ————————

By default, Contact Form 7 loads three JavaScript files — contact-form-7.js, jquery.form.js and jquery.js — into the header of each page. They are necessary for Ajax. If you want to disable such loading of these files in all pages and control it to load in select pages only, you can do that by first prevent their loading totally by inserting the following line in the wp-config.php file.

define ('WPCF7_LOAD_JS', false );

Then you may call these files to load in a particular file by inserting the following line in the relevant template ahead of the call to wp_head():

wpcf7_enqueue_scripts();

Using this tip can improve your WordPress page loading and SEO!

———————–  Tip ————————

you can use tag  [response] anywhere you like. this tag is like place holder for displaying message. all message appear where you place a tag [response].

You no longer need to create links to posts and add them to your sidebar manually . This Multi widget let you to select a category and display links from that category to related posts within current membership level into your sidebar. Here is a example.

It is easy to create  links to posts from a category  and display it at sidebar.  but when you have different membership levels. you would like to display only links  to posts that are belong to current membership level. Think of  when each membership level have several steps. for example:

1) level1: learning php basic ( for silver membership level only

part1

part2

part3

2)level2: lerning php advanced ( need gold memebrship )

part4

part5

Think of  level 1  have some sublevel  for example

let say you have 3 membership level on your wordpress blog

1. Silver members  ( can see silver content only)
2. Gold members. ( can see all content  included silver memberships)
3. Trial members. (can see limited content only for limited time. let say 7 days. after that they should  upgrade to Silver or Gold membership.

Problem:

I do not want to diplay part4 link and part 5 link to silver member. but gold member should see all  links to all steps. also Trial member should see link to part1 only!

Solution:

1. Get  wishlistmember-category-posts-widget ( Ask WLM support to give you a copy!)
2. Create  a category with name “parts”.
3. Add this category to all above posts.
4. Add widget to your sidebar.
5. select category parts inside widget
6. Thats all! after this only member belong to that level can see that links!

Remember you can have more than one instant of this plugin and apply each of them to diffrent categories such as  pdf, sourcecode,video and more!

Well, everything is possible in a good day.
have a good day!
