What the author says it does
Contact Form 7 is an excellent WordPress plugin and one of the top choices of free WordPress plugins for contact forms. DTX – Dynamic Text Extension for Contact Form 7 makes it even more awesome by adding dynamic content capabilities. While default values in Contact Form 7 are static, DTX lets you create pre-populated fields pulled from other locations. Some examples might include:
- Auto-filling a URL or just getting the domain name or path
- Auto-filling a post ID, title, or slug
- Auto-filling a title, URL, or slug for the current page
- Pre-populating a product number
- Referencing other content on the site
- Populating with post or page info
- Populating with the current user’s info
- Populating with custom and meta fields
- Generating unique identifiers for support tickets
- Getting a list of post categories or other custom taxonomies
- Getting a value from a cookie
- Getting custom theme modifications
- Any value using custom shortcodes
The possibilities are endless!
View Demo
For over 10 years, DTX only handled <input type="text" /> and <input type="hidden" /> form fields, but version 4 finally introduces more:
- URL
- tel (for phone numbers)
- number
- range (slider)
- textarea (multiline text)
- drop-down menu (select field)
- checkboxes
- radio buttons
- date
- submit (yes, a submit button where you can have dynamic text!)
