Topic Tag: Directory and classifieds sites

Problem: I would like to know how to make some changes to the email notifications sent by CRED in the Classifieds reference site. I would like to change the "from" address to match the message sender, and I would like to include the corresponding Ad title in the message.

Solution:
Include a hidden generic field that captures the listing title in the form. Then use that field value in your email notification. You can edit the form here:
yoursite.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=6337&action=edit
Since the listing ID shows up in the URL where the form is displayed, you can access that ID using the wpv-search-term shortcode like this:

[wpv-search-term param='listing-id']

Then you can figure out the Listing Title from that ID like this:

[wpv-post-title id="[wpv-search-term param='listing-id']"]

Insert that as the value of your generic field:

[cred_generic_field field='listing_title' type='hidden' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":"[wpv-post-title id='[wpv-search-term param='listing-id']']"
}
[/cred_generic_field]

Then you can use that title in your CRED notification with this shortcode:

[wpv-post-field name="listing_title"]

and the from address is not from the sender.
There's not an easy way to select the current User's ID as the "from" address in the notification editor. You can use the CRED API method cred_mail_header to modify the "From:" email header programmatically.

Here's an example:

//Customise CRED notifications
add_filter('cred_mail_header', 'customise_cred_message_from', 10, 5);
function customise_cred_message_from( $headers, $formid, $postid, $notification_name, $notification_number ) {
    if ($formid==12345 && $notification_number==67890) {
        $current_user = wp_get_current_user();
        $myheaders = array( 'From: ' . $current_user->user_email );
        return array_merge($headers, $myheaders);
    }
    return $headers;
}

Modify 12345 to match your CRED form ID, and change 67890 to match the notification index (zero if no other notifications exist for this form)
