Problem: I have a Form that is placed in a template for posts, so it is displayed on many pages of the site. I would like to be able to know which page contained the Form that was submitted, so I can use the post title in the email notification.
Solution: You can access the title of the current page and insert it into a generic field in the Form. Then I can give you a snippet that will allow you to use a custom placeholder in the subject or body of an email notification to display the current post title. Add this generic field to your Form Builder, inside the credform shortcodes:
[cred_generic_field field='currentpagetitle' type='hidden' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":"[wpv-post-title id='$current_page']"
}
[/cred_generic_field]
Then add this custom code snippet to your child theme's functions.php file:
add_filter('cred_body_notification_codes', 'custom_generic_field_notification');
add_filter('cred_subject_notification_codes', 'custom_generic_field_notification');
function custom_generic_field_notification( $defaultPlaceHolders ) {
$newPlaceHolders = array(
'%%CURRENT_PAGE_TITLE%%' => $_REQUEST['currentpagetitle']
);
return array_merge($defaultPlaceHolders, $newPlaceHolders );
}
Now you can use the custom placeholder %%CURRENT_PAGE_TITLE%% in your email notification's subject or body area to display the title of the post where the Form was displayed:
%%CURRENT_PAGE_TITLE%% you have a new message from your profile page.
