    Hello,

    can we get the email variable from the form, from a custom field email submitted, for reuse in another extension.

    like “contact form” or wp form ?

    to replace the “email for” [_site_admin_email]

    throug [open-user-map-location value=”email”]

    I would like to put a form on each page created, in the read more section, but which sends an email to the person who created the location, and not the website.

    or juste a simple mailto: link

    <a href=”mailto:<code>[open-user-map-location value=”email”]</code>CONTACT</a>

    But I can not… An idea how to proceed

    Thanks

    Jeff

    Hi @ektrakt,

    You can get the email with this shortcode (replace YOUR CUSTOM FIELD LABEL:

    [open-user-map-location value="YOUR CUSTOM FIELD LABEL"]

    or with the PHP function:

    oum_get_location_value( 'YOUR CUSTOM FIELD LABEL', $post_id )

    Use this inside your single location content in the Admin Dashboard (Shortcode) or single page template (PHP function).

    If you want to use this with a form plugin this goes beyond scope of my support. But basically the PHP function should be the way to go.

    Best Regards,
    Daniel

    Hello,

    thank you for your answer, for the moment I try to make it as simple as possible with a shortcode in single location content in the Admin Dashboard

    Indeed, when I use [open-user-map-location value=”email”]
    the email is displayed correctly.

    But as I want to hide the email first, and when I combine it with “mailto:” that it doesn’t work anymore.

    example:

    <a href="mailto:[open-user-map-location value="email"]>contact garden</a>

    But the result in the email recipient field is :

    [open-user-map-location value=

    do you have an idea of the problem?

    Thanks

    Hi @ektrakt,

    This happens because because the shortcode returns the email wrapped in a div box. So the only way would be to use the PHP function inside a real php template of your single page:

    <?php echo oum_get_location_value( 'email', $post_id ); ?>

    Or you just stick to showing the email address (but not linked with a mailto).

    Best Regards,
    Daniel
