* configuring the value attribute
* pretty post hyperlinks in the message body
* customized sorting of the post type

== Installation ==

1. Download and install the required Contact Form 7 Plugin available at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/
2. Upload 'contact-form-7-post-fields' to the '/wp-content/plugins/' directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where can I find the new post fields and how can I use them? =

1. Make sure that you have installed and activated the required plugin [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/).
2. In the menu, navigate to the item "Contact", create a new or edit an existing form.
3. You can find 4 new fields in the tab "Form" now: "posts image drop-down-menu", "posts drop-down-menu", "post checkboxes" and "post radio buttons".

= Why can't I find my own type of content (custom post type) in the list? =

The only types of content displayed are those declared as public.
See [register post type](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type).

= How can I make my form in the front end use a standard value automatically? =

This can easily be done by using $_GET or $_POST variables.

1. In the post field shortcode, add the option "default:get" or "default:post" ([instructions](http://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/)), e.g. [post_select post_select-1 publish default:get post-type:post value-field:title orderby:title order:DESC "%title%"]
2. On your website, move to the form with the following $_GET parameters: http://www.yourdomain.at/contact/?field_name=post_id

If you have integrated your form into a single post template, you can use "default:current_post" to set the default value equal to the current post.

= What kind of post meta keys can be used for the label?  =

1. Single text meta keys
2. Sequential arrays will be changed in a string list (comma seperated)
3. Associative arrays are no supported

= How can i style the posts image drop-down-menu? =

The posts image drop-down-menu is build with the jQuery [select2](https://select2.github.io/) libary.
You can style with CSS the drop-down-menus using the class "select2" and/or "select2-container".

= How can i print pretty post hyperlinks in the message body =
1. Select the "Permalink" option from the value field in the post field generator.
2. Check the "Use HTML content type" box in the Mail setting.

= I found a bug, what shall I do? =

If you have found a bug in my plugin, please send me an email with a short description.
I will fix the bug as soon as possible.

= You like my plugin and you'd like to support me? =
