Plugin that saves submitted form data to the database and provides short codes to display it.
Captures data from Contact Form 7 and Fast Secure Contact Form
== Description ==
Saves form submissions to the database that come from Contact Form 7 (CF7) plugin and/or Fast Secure Contact Form (FSCF) plugin.
CF7 and FSCF are great plugins but but were lacking one thing...the ability to save the form data to the database.
And if you get a lot of form submissions, then you end up sorting through a lot of email.
This plugin-to-a-plugin provides that functionality.
You will need to have CF7 and/or FSCF installed along with this plugin.
When using CF7, this plugin also puts a menu item in the Administration Plugins menu where you can see the data in the database.
When using FSCF, this plugin puts links on its Admin page.
You can also use the [cfdb-html], [cfdb-table], [cfdb-datatable], [cfdb-value] and [cfdb-json] shortcodes to display the data on a non-admin page on your site.
Disclaimer: I am not the maker of Contact Form 7 nor Fast Secure Contact Form and am not associated with the development of those plugins.
== Installation ==
1. Your WordPress site must be running PHP5 or better. This plugin will fail to activate if your site is running PHP4.
1. Be sure that Contact Form 7 and/or Fast Secure Contact Form is installed and activated (this is an extension to them)
1. Fast Secure Contact Form should be at least version 2.9.7
Notes:
* Installing this plugin creates its own table. If you uninstall it, it will delete its table and any data you have in it. (But you can deactivate it without loosing any data).
* Tested using PHP 5.2.13, MySQL 5.0 (Using 1and1 for hosting)
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Where can I find documentation on the plugin? =
Refer the Plugin Site
= Where do I see the data? =
* Contact Form 7 Users: In the admin page, under CF7's top level "Contact" admin menu. Look for "Contact" -> "Database"
* Fast Secure Contact Form Users: In the admin page, Plugins -> FS Contact Form Option, There is a "Database" link at the top of the page
* For a direct link, use http://<your-wordpress-site>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CF7DBPluginSubmissions
= Can I display form data on a non-admin web page or in a post? =
Yes, documentation on shortcodes `[cfdb-html]`, `[cfdb-datatable]`, `[cfdb-table]`, `[cfdb-json]` and `[cfdb-value]`, etc.
= What is the name of the table where the data is stored? =
`wp_cf7dbplugin_submits`
Note: if you changed your WordPress MySql table prefix from the default `wp_` to something else, then this table will also have that prefix instead of `wp_` (`$wpdb->prefix`)
Note: previous to version 2.0, the table was named "wp_CF7DBPlugin_SUBMITS" but was changed to all-lowercase as part of the 2.0 upgrade.
= If I uninstall the plugin, what happens to its data in the database? =
The table and all its data are deleted when you uninstall but you can change a setting on the options page to
prevent it from being deleted. You can always deactivate the plugin without loosing data.
