WordPress contact form 7 text value change
WordPress - Contact Form 7
I am trying to find out the filter to modify the cf7 field value when someone enter values in it.
when user type in textfield and submit data,
- validate - I had done
- should not goto thank you page if invalid entry - I had done
- replace text field with new data - Not Done
Eg: 1
add_filter( 'wpcf7_validate_text*', 'your_validation_filter_func_tel', 100, 2 );
function your_validation_filter_func_tel( $result, $tag ) {
$Yourvalue = $_POST['your-number'];
if ( strlen( $Yourvalue ) == 2 ) {
$result->invalidate( 'your-number', "Please enter a valid number. " . );
// HERE I WANT TO REPLACE NEW DATA TO TEXT FIELD
$result->data( 'your-number', '1002' );
} else if ( strlen( $Yourvalue ) == 3 ) {
$result->invalidate( 'your-number', "Please enter a valid name." . );
// HERE I WANT TO REPLACE NEW DATA TO TEXT FIELD
$result->data( 'your-number', '1003' );
}
return $result;
}
Eg: 2
another working example
everything working except $result['tel'] = $tel_cleaned_final;
<?php
function custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel( $result, $tel )
{
// Initialization and Clean Input
$tel_cleaned = strtr( $tel, array(' '=>'', '-'=>'', '.'=>''));
$tel_cleaned_trimmed = ltrim(strtr( $tel_cleaned, array('+'=>'')), '0');
/* Test Conditions.
I concluded 3 if conditions to 1 below bcaz the validation is working perfect
*/
if ('test conditions here')
$tel_cleaned_final = substr($tel_cleaned_trimmed, 2);
else
$tel_cleaned_final = $tel_cleaned_trimmed;
if (strlen($tel_cleaned_final) == 10)
{
$result = true;
//$result['tel'] = $tel_cleaned_final;
/*
Here i want to return new number to text box
for eg: +91 98989-89898 returns 9898989898
*/
}
else
{
$result = false;
}
return $result;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_is_tel', 'custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel', 10, 2 );

Contact Form 7's action hooks don't allow for changing input fields. You'll have to add a DOM event that triggers on error and then check and update the fields in the DOM as necessary via JavaScript instead. See contactform7.com/dom-events

}

"mail" => $mail
));
return $wpcf7;

}
Hope it helps!

What you are trying to do cannot be done with only the validation filter. Because that just outputs true or false based on the validations performed. To do what you want, you have to use another filter ( 'wpcf7_posted_data' ) that has the value you want to filter. So we can break down our process into two steps.
Step 1: Do all the validation like you are currently doing.
Using your Example 2.
function custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel( $result, $tel )
{
// Initialization and Clean Input
$tel_cleaned = strtr( $tel, array(' '=>'', '-'=>'', '.'=>''));
$tel_cleaned_trimmed = ltrim(strtr( $tel_cleaned, array('+'=>'')), '0');
/* Test Conditions.
I concluded 3 if conditions to 1 below bcaz the validation is working perfect
*/
if ('test conditions here')
$tel_cleaned_final = substr($tel_cleaned_trimmed, 2);
else
$tel_cleaned_final = $tel_cleaned_trimmed;
if (strlen($tel_cleaned_final) == 10)
{
$result = true;
} else
{
$result = false;
}
return $result;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_is_tel', 'custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel', 10, 2 );
The above code will make sure that your points 1 and 2 are working.
- Validate.
- Stop submission if entry is invalid.
Step 2: Re-run your tests to get the desired value and update it.
function sr_change_updated_field_value( $posted_data )
{
// Initialization and Clean Input
$tel_cleaned = strtr( $tel, array(' '=>'', '-'=>'', '.'=>''));
$tel_cleaned_trimmed = ltrim(strtr( $tel_cleaned, array('+'=>'')), '0');
/* Test Conditions.
I concluded 3 if conditions to 1 below bcaz the validation is working perfect
*/
if ('test conditions here')
$tel_cleaned_final = substr($tel_cleaned_trimmed, 2);
else
$tel_cleaned_final = $tel_cleaned_trimmed;
// Use the name of your field in place of "tel"
$posted_data['tel'] = $tel_cleaned_final;
return $posted_data;
};
add_filter( 'wpcf7_posted_data', 'sr_change_updated_field_value', 10, 1 );
P.S. This will update the values sent in the email, or in the submissions if you store them. It will show the validation message, but it will not show the updated value in text field because that cannot be done with php in this scenario.
P.S. 2 This is all tested code. Happy Coding.
This doesn't appear to work in CF7 v 5.0.5. If I put a 'die();' right after the function name, and submit the form, the die() never happens. Any ideas?

Feb 1 at 21:13
Can you please update the plugin ? current version is 7.5.1.1 although i don't think that these filters were added recently. I can't get the version 5.0.5 to test it on that.
– shazyriver
Feb 2 at 6:32
Contact Form 7 is at version 5.1.1, according to the WP repository page. I have not upgraded to 5.1x because of issues with how it forces use of reCAPTCHA v3, and that effect on load time and reCAPTCHA load on entire site (also, see their support forum for massive number of complaints about increased spam).
– Rick Hellewell
Feb 2 at 17:55
Ah. My Bad. You are right about the version. I misinterpreted it. But i remember testing it at the time of posting this solution. But i don't have time and resources to test this ATM.
– shazyriver
Feb 2 at 18:34
However, i sure can guide you about the die() you are doing. It happens, but you do not notice it because, in filters die stops execution but it does not disrupt anything. Which means probably form would not submit but nothing on the front end will happen that shows the function died.

However, i sure can guide you about the die() you are doing. It happens, but you do not notice it because, in filters die stops execution but it does not disrupt anything. Which means probably form would not submit but nothing on the front end will happen that shows the function died.

What you are trying to do cannot be done with only the validation filter. Because that just outputs true or false based on the validations performed. To do what you want, you have to use another filter ( 'wpcf7_posted_data' ) that has the value you want to filter. So we can break down our process into two steps.
Step 1: Do all the validation like you are currently doing.
Using your Example 2.
function custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel( $result, $tel )
{
// Initialization and Clean Input
$tel_cleaned = strtr( $tel, array(' '=>'', '-'=>'', '.'=>''));
$tel_cleaned_trimmed = ltrim(strtr( $tel_cleaned, array('+'=>'')), '0');
/* Test Conditions.
I concluded 3 if conditions to 1 below bcaz the validation is working perfect
*/
if ('test conditions here')
$tel_cleaned_final = substr($tel_cleaned_trimmed, 2);
else
$tel_cleaned_final = $tel_cleaned_trimmed;
if (strlen($tel_cleaned_final) == 10)
{
$result = true;
} else
{
$result = false;
}
return $result;
}
add_filter( 'wpcf7_is_tel', 'custom_filter_wpcf7_is_tel', 10, 2 );
The above code will make sure that your points 1 and 2 are working.
- Validate.
- Stop submission if entry is invalid.
Step 2: Re-run your tests to get the desired value and update it.
function sr_change_updated_field_value( $posted_data )
{
// Initialization and Clean Input
$tel_cleaned = strtr( $tel, array(' '=>'', '-'=>'', '.'=>''));
$tel_cleaned_trimmed = ltrim(strtr( $tel_cleaned, array('+'=>'')), '0');
/* Test Conditions.
I concluded 3 if conditions to 1 below bcaz the validation is working perfect
*/
if ('test conditions here')
$tel_cleaned_final = substr($tel_cleaned_trimmed, 2);
else
$tel_cleaned_final = $tel_cleaned_trimmed;
// Use the name of your field in place of "tel"
$posted_data['tel'] = $tel_cleaned_final;
return $posted_data;
};
add_filter( 'wpcf7_posted_data', 'sr_change_updated_field_value', 10, 1 );
P.S. This will update the values sent in the email, or in the submissions if you store them. It will show the validation message, but it will not show the updated value in text field because that cannot be done with php in this scenario.
P.S. 2 This is all tested code. Happy Coding.
This doesn't appear to work in CF7 v 5.0.5. If I put a 'die();' right after the function name, and submit the form, the die() never happens. Any ideas?

Can you please update the plugin ? current version is 7.5.1.1 although i don't think that these filters were added recently. I can't get the version 5.0.5 to test it on that.

Contact Form 7 is at version 5.1.1, according to the WP repository page. I have not upgraded to 5.1x because of issues with how it forces use of reCAPTCHA v3, and that effect on load time and reCAPTCHA load on entire site (also, see their support forum for massive number of complaints about increased spam).

Ah. My Bad. You are right about the version. I misinterpreted it. But i remember testing it at the time of posting this solution. But i don't have time and resources to test this ATM.

Contact Form 7's action hooks don't allow for changing input fields. You'll have to add a DOM event that triggers on error and then check and update the fields in the DOM as necessary via JavaScript instead. See contactform7.com/dom-events
