How to display page title in the contact form?

Question

I'm using a contact form 7 for the contact forms. I have a page for a doctor for example, and it has it's own form on the same page. How can I display the title of that page into the input field or select field on the contact form 7?

I did some research for dynamic data on contact form 7 and I found this https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/

I put the following code into the form but it's not retrieving the page title:

[dynamictext dynamicname “CF7_get_post_var key=’title'”]

Any help is very much appreciated.

Answer 1

a year late, but I just saw it. I suppose you have already solved it. The error is because the shortcode has wrong characters. The correct thing is like this:

[dynamictext dynamicname "CF7_get_post_var key='title'"]

Did you try with jquery/js ? like jQuery("#field_id").val("<?php echo get_the_title(); ?>"); . you can try this code in the page where the form is using.

Answer 3

Put this to functions.php

add_shortcode( 'cf7_extra_fields', 'cf7_extra_fields_func' );
function cf7_extra_fields_func( $atts ) {
    $html = '';
    $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="page-title" value="<'.get_the_title().'">';
    $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="page-url" value="<'.get_the_permalink().'">';
    return $html;
}

Then when editing contact form add this shortcode inside [cf7_extra_fields] When passing form fields to email use [page-title] and [page-url] No plugin needed

Answer 4

To use shortcode inside the wpcf7 forms, an easy way is "Berenis" solution, but with an important change. Instead of add_shortcode( 'cf7_extra_fields', 'cf7_extra_fields_func' ); should be wpcf7_add_shortcode( 'cf7_extra_fields', 'cf7_extra_fields_func', true );.

Remaining code can be same, on functions.php:

wpcf7_add_shortcode( 'cf7_extra_fields', 'cf7_extra_fields_func', true );
function cf7_extra_fields_func( $atts ) {
   $html = '';
   $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="page-title" value="'.get_the_title().'" />';
   $html .= '<input type="hidden" name="page-url" value="'.get_the_permalink().'" />';
   return $html;
}

On contact form, use: [cf7_extra_fields], on email fields use: [page-title] and [page-url].

This worked for me, without any issues.
