Contact Form 7 Select Box Editor Button

Ever wanted to use one contact form for all your contacts? Yet be able to link to a specific contact?
And without modifying the Contact Form 7 extension?

This little extension guides you to set up Contact Form 7, enter the contacts there, and then adds an editor button by which you can link a specific contact form.

Features:

• Email adresses are invisible to website visitors (no spam)
• Adds Editor Button to the admin area where links to a contact form can be added or modified
• Contact form links can by styled by CSS
• Translation to German

Requirements:

• Contact Form 7 (v3.3 or later): https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/

TO DO

• Currently, only one form can be used (selectable at the settings page)
• The URL could be detected (find all articles containing a contact form, and propose them in a select box)
• When clicking on a link that has the form on the same page, should it scroll to the form? Currently, it only changes the selected value.

These are limitations that I may (one day, if/when I come to it) adress in future.
So if you’re a developer and want to adress them yourself,
go ahead and I will be happy to support you!

1. Install Contact Form 7 first

2. Create a form containing a select tag:

   [select* recipient id:recipient “John Doe|[email protected]” “Max Mustermann|[email protected]”]

3. Set Mail option “To:” to [recipient]

4. Install and Activate this plugin
5. Test it: Add this contact form to a page or post, and call it with #Max+Mustermann at the end. “Max Mustermann” should be pre-selected now.
6. Configure the parameters:
   • The URL where the contact form resides (e.g. /contact/)
   • An optional prefix to the title attribute that will get created.
