Michael Simpson on "[Plugin: Contact Form DB] Include support for another contact form in CFDB"

Hi Michael,

I'm the author of Very Simple Contact Form and would like to offer a feature to save form submissions in the database and view them in dashboard.

Before building this feature I'm wondering if you are interested to include support for my plugin in CFDB?

Kind regards,

Guido

I'd be happy to. I would need your plugin to provide a hook that you call when a submission happens that CFDB can subscribe to. I would need this information passed: form name, field name -> field value for each. For files, I need the field name, file name, and how to get the file itself.

Hi Michael,

Do you have an example which I can use perhaps? Or a tutorial somewhere on the web? My form only contains a few static fields, so I guess/hope it's not that difficult to build this hook.

If you code to the following example, you can call a CFDB hook and make it work. Then it will not require any changes in CFDB:

Otherwise, if you create your own hook, then I need to update CFDB to connect to your hook and organize the data for CFDB to process. That is typically what I do with plugins that have pre-existing hooks.
