Hi,

I did not realize your use case wasn’t working, but I looked into it and here is what I concluded:

The problem is not that my plugin doesn’t support the Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 plugin. As far as I can tell, the problem is that the Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 plugin doesn’t hook into the wpcf7_mail_replace_tags() function to handle groups in mail-tags, and that the Contact Form 7 plugin doesn’t provide an easy way for Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 to hook into the wpcf7_mail_replace_tags() function.

The groups are working in the email message because Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 plugin has code that handles groups in email message (see function hide_hidden_mail_fields()). However, as far as I can tell, this code doesn’t run for mail-tags that are outside of CF7 form properties (including when wpcf7_mail_replace_tags() is called). My plugin calls wpcf7_mail_replace_tags() to process mail-tags, so, the Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 groups never get processed.

I will explain how to make it work with my plugin (as a temporary workaround).
Change this line in my plugin’s main PHP file:

$data[$field] = wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( $mapping["mail_tags"] );

To the following:

$data[$field] = wpcf7_mail_replace_tags( $mapping["mail_tags"] );
if( class_exists( 'Wpcf7cfMailParser' ) )
{
	$hidden_groups = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_hidden_groups']));
	$visible_groups = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_visible_groups']));
	$repeaters = json_decode(stripslashes($_POST['_wpcf7cf_repeaters']));
	$parser = new Wpcf7cfMailParser($data[$field], $visible_groups, $hidden_groups, $repeaters, $_POST);
	$data[$field] = $parser->getParsedMail();
}

Image embeds, file name, and save path mail-tag processing code will need a similar change if you want to use conditional field groups there as well.

I will not be adding the above code into my plugin because this is a responsibility of the Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 plugin developer and the Contact Form 7 plugin developer, unless someone can prove otherwise.

Even if I moved the mail-tag containing settings of my plugin into Contact Form 7 form properties, that is still not going to solve the problem because Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 plugin only seems to process ‘mail’, ‘mail_2’, and ‘messages’ properties.

Please contact the developers of both plugins and direct them to this forum topic.

Thank you.

Hi Brian,

I’m sorry for the late reply.

The change that is needed is as follows:

Change this line:
add_action(‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘cf7pp_before_send_mail’);
To this line:
add_action(‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘cf7pp_before_send_mail’, 99999 );

This will make that hook run after all others are done.

Let me know if that helps or not.

Thanks.

Hi,

You need to use PDF editing software. There is a number of commercial and free solutions out there, as well as online web based editors.

Please see the plugin documentation page about this topic:
https://pdfformsfiller.org/docs/create-pdf-file/

Let me know if that helps or not.
Thanks.

Hi Chris,

You might be able to set something up with conditional notifications, but you will need to attach all the PDFs to the form. Hopefully, the number of languages is very small, so, it wouldn’t cause too much of a slowdown.

Additionally, you can make use of the ‘Skip when empty’ option if you can set your mappings up in such a way that the other PDFs’ fields remain blank (and therefore skipped). There is a number of ways to make this work, such as making the same form field into different fields (one for each language) and showing only one (conditionally depending on the language), then mapping each one to the corresponding PDF file. This will cause the user to only fill the fields that correspond to their language and will leave the other PDFs unfilled (and skipped).

Let me know if that helps or not.
Thanks.

Hi,

What is the exact error message?

Thanks.

The PDF field that is being filled has settings for font size and such. The text being filled has no formatting information.

What plugins and theme do you have activated?
