Store file uploads for Contact Form 7 for WordPress Plugin Directory

By default, Contact Form 7 dose not keep data it sends trough it’s contact forms.

While plugins like Flamingo save that data, uploaded files are not added to Media Library.

This plugin will save uploaded files to Media Library before email is sent by CF7.

This plugin will raise an event with the the full file path & name.

Subscribe to nmr_create_attachment_file_name filter to get and/or update data before attachment is added to media library.

// The filter callback function. function example_callback( $file_name ) { // (maybe) modify $file_name. return $file_name; } add_filter( 'nmr_create_attachment_file_name', 'example_callback', 10, 1 );

Subscribe to nmr_before_insert_attachment filter to be able to change attachment attributes: caption and description are ‘post_excerpt’ and ‘post_content’.

For other attributes, check documentation for wp_insert_attachment.

// The filter callback function. function before_insert_attachment_callback( $attachment ) { // (maybe) modify $attachment array. return $attachment; } add_filter( 'nmr_before_insert_attachment', 'before_insert_attachment_callback', 10, 1 );

Optionally, subscribe to nmr_should_skip_save_attachment_to_media_library filter to be able to skip saving the attachment to media library: return true to skip, false is the default behaviour that saves the attachment to media library. Filter nmr_before_insert_attachment will not be called if skip was true.

// The filter callback function. function skip_media_library_callback( $skip_save_to_media_library ) { // return true to skip saving to Media Library, false to save. return true; } add_filter( 'nmr_should_skip_save_attachment_to_media_library', 'skip_media_library_callback', 10, 1 );

This plugin will send the final attachment id if you are interested in getting other details, like attachment url.

Listen to nmr_create_attachment_id_generated action.

// The action callback function. function example_callback_id_generated( $attachment_id ) { // (maybe) do something with the args. $url = wp_get_attachment_url( $attachment_id ); } add_action( 'nmr_create_attachment_id_generated', 'example_callback_id_generated', 10, 1 );
