Passing result of a different shortcode into param through [frm-set-get]

Phil Turner asked 5 months ago

Hi, in Wordpress, we are running a shortcode that queries through PHP the users email address, strip it to the domain, check that against a Formidable form and return the organisation name. The code for this works well. I then want to use the results from that to additionally query a form using frm-set-get and display-frm-data, but this doesn't work well. If I enter the organisation name manually into the frm-set-get atttribute it works, and I can see that the string returned from the organisation_name shortcode also works fine. I have tried many different things to get this to parse correctly, but can't seem to nail it. Can anyone assist with helping me getting this to work please? I am happy to create another PHP call, but not quite certain how to replicate the frm-set-get function.

[frm-set-get org_name="[organisation_name]"]
[display-frm-data id=4448 param="org_name"]

function get_organisation_name() {
    // Get the form by key
    $form = FrmForm::getOne('member-organisation-details');
    if (!$form) {
        return 'Error: Form not found.';
    }
    // Get the entries in the form
    $entries = FrmEntry::getAll(array('form_id' => $form->id), '', '', true, false);
    if (!$entries) {
        return 'Error: No entries found in form.';
    }
    // Loop through the entries
    foreach ($entries as $entry) {
        // Get the value of the domain_list field
        $domain_list = FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta_by_field($entry->id, 'domain_list');
        if (!$domain_list) {
            continue;
        }
        // Get the value of the org_name field
        $org_name = FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta_by_field($entry->id, 'org_name');
        if ($org_name) {
            return $org_name;
        }
    }
    // Return an error message if no matching entry was found
    return 'Error: No matching entry found.';
}
function register_my_shortcodes(){  
    add_shortcode('email_domain', 'email_domain_shortcode');
    add_shortcode('organisation_name', 'get_organisation_name');
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_shortcodes');

I ended up resolving this issue by calling the shortcode directly within php, to create a new shortcode. Below is the final product that appears to be working.

function get_email_domain() {
    // Get current user data
    $current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    // Check if the user is logged in
    if ( ! $current_user->exists() ) {
        return 'Error: User is not logged in.';
    }

    // Get the email address
    $email = $current_user->user_email;

    // Split the email address into a user and domain
    $parts = explode('@', $email);

    // Check if the email address contains '@'
    if ( count($parts) < 2 ) {
        return 'Error: Invalid email address.';
    }

    // Get the domain part
    $domain = $parts[1];

    // Return the domain
    return $domain;
}


function get_organisation_name() {
    // Get the email domain
    $email_domain = get_email_domain();

    // Get the form by key
    $form = FrmForm::getOne('member-organisation-details');
    if (!$form) {
        return 'Error: Form not found.';
    }

    // Get the entries in the form
    $entries = FrmEntry::getAll(array('form_id' => $form->id), '', '', true, false);
    if (!$entries) {
        return 'Error: No entries found in form.';
    }

    // Loop through the entries
    foreach ($entries as $entry) {
        // Get the value of the domain_list field
        $domain_list = FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta_by_field($entry->id, 'domain_list');
        if (!$domain_list) {
            continue;
        }

        // Check if the domain_list contains the email domain
        $domains = explode(',', $domain_list);
        if (!in_array($email_domain, $domains)) {
            continue;
        }

        // Get the value of the org_name field
        $org_name = FrmEntryMeta::get_entry_meta_by_field($entry->id, 'org_name');
        if ($org_name) {
            return $org_name;
        }
    }

    // Return an error message if no matching entry was found
    return 'Error: No matching entry found.';
}

function get_training_credits_history(){

    // Define the attributes for the shortcode
    $id = '4448';  // calls the table 
    $param = get_organisation_name();  // adds the organsation name parameter

    // Call the shortcode
    $output = do_shortcode('[display-frm-data id="' . $id . '" org_name="' . $param . '"]');

    // Return the output
    return $output;


}


function register_my_shortcodes(){  
    add_shortcode('email_domain', 'get_email_domain');
    add_shortcode('organisation_name', 'get_organisation_name');
	add_shortcode('return_training_credit_history', 'get_training_credits_history');
}
add_action( 'init', 'register_my_shortcodes');

Even if it could have been done natively, this gives you insight in extending FF and that may very well be it's best capability. Well done!

Sounds like error in the code. If you just post into your view [organisation_name], does that return a value? If not you'll have to troubleshoot your code.
