Contact Form 7 / Download

I released Contact Form 7 1.7.7. This release contains new tag types for required checkboxes and drop-down menus. Checkbox* and Select* are newly introduced in this release. And Danish, Latvian and Swedish translations have been added.

New tag types: checkbox* and select*

As text*, email* and textarea* in the past, checkbox* and select* are required fields. The sender must check or select at least one meaningful option for each of these.

New translations

Contact Form 7 has now been translated into 17 languages. I’d like to genuinely thank all the translators!

(In Japanese from here.)

Contact Form 7 1.7.7 をリリースしました。必須選択のチェックボックスとドロップダウンメニューのためのタグとして checkbox* と select* を新たに導入しました。デンマーク語、ラトビア語、スウェーデン語の言語ファイルが追加されました。

新しいタグ: checkbox*、select*

必須入力のテキスト項目として text*、email*、textarea* のタグが以前からありますが、それと同様に必須選択のチェックボックスのために checkbox* を、ドロップダウンメニューのために select* を新たに導入しました。フォームを送信する際には少なくともひとつの意味のある項目の選択が求められます。

新しい言語対応

Contact Form 7 はこれで計 17 の言語に翻訳されました。翻訳してくれたみなさん、ありがとうございます!

    CAPTCHA errors. It doesn’t work:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imagettftext() in /home/dakinewb/public_html/Designs/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/captcha/captcha.php on line 60

    Kathleen,

    You need GD and FreeType libraries installed on your server.

    Hey Miyoshi,

    Instead of using @wp_mail(), I think the form should use swift (http://www.swiftmailer.org/).

    I used it as it is, and since it is going directly to php mailer, it takes a long time to send + long time to deliver.

    Swift did both for 1 second.

    Just a thought to your pool :)

    cool plugin, thanks,
    Toly

    Toly,

    You can also use Swift Mailer plugins.

    [select subject “option1” “option2”]

    How can i get the value of “subject” to pu it in the mail I will receive ? I tried to input [subject] or [select subject] but none is working.

    Thanks for your help and your plugin. :)

    How do I change Contact Form 7 language?

    Thanks.

    John, [subject] should work. Just in case, you should use include_blank option like,

    [select subject include_blank "option1" "option2"]

    Bruno, Contact Form 7’s language setting follows WordPress’s language setting. This page explains how to set WordPress’s language. Contact Form 7 inludes 17 language files out of the box.

    Hi, I have installed WordPress in Italian, but your plugin is in English.

    I have installed all languages situated in your folder, but I don’t know how to change the language of Contact Form.

    I think it’s fantastic! it saved me a lot of time!!
    I ask, is it possible to let user attach a file or at least an image?

    Q-design, Contact Form 7’s locale setting follows WordPress’s one. So you have only to do setting WordPress up as an Italian blog. The documentation is here.

    define('WPLANG', 'it_IT');

    should be written in your wp-config.php

    kux, yes I got what you mean. The correct answer is [Auswaehlen]. Mail field needs the second word of tags used in Form field. Also see FAQ.

    franc3s, it’s not possible at this time but it will be implemented in the next Contact Form 7 1.8.x released few months later (maybe). Please wait it.

    Hi,

    Can you please make this plug-in Valid XHTML 1.0 Strict ?

    The input fields simply needed to be between a fieldset.

    Tried myself but did not come out right. I made it valid but it was not ending the fieldset correctly.

    Also, do you know why ajax function is not working:

    http://www.war59312.com/contact/

    Works fine but no ajax goodness. Missing a hook in my theme perhaps?

    Thanks,

    Will

    Ok ajax issue was because I forgot:

    php wp_head();

    Figures! ;)

    Thanks again!!

    Brilliant plugin! Many thanks.

    Is there a way to set a Thankyou url anywhere? Even if its for all forms, not individual ones? Or a pointer where I can hack it to do so? An optional “Return-URL” hidden field would be great.

    Hi Miyoshi,

    thankyou for a great plugin. I would like to centre each field on my contact page rather than have them aligned left as they are just now – apologies for this basic question but I have no skills!

    jim, you can do it with CSS.

    div.wpcf7 { text-align: center }

    or something like that.

    Hi Miyoshi,

    It is possible to replace the “Send” button with an Image “Send” button?

  26. miyoshi Avatar
    miyoshi

    Josh Budde, currently no. You can make image buttons manually, though.

    The “include_blank” solved the drop down issue not showing up as a drop down in FF3.0 and also not including it in the email sent to the administrator.

    Thanks for a great plugin!
