Divi includes a contact form module which can lets your users send messages to your email inbox through your site. If you have contact forms on multiple posts / pages, it can be useful to know which post / page the user submitted the contact form on. Here's how to add the post title / url to the contact form module emails.
First, add the following PHP code to your site:
add_filter('et_pb_module_shortcode_attributes', 'dbc_add_post_link_to_contact_form', 10, 3);
function dbc_add_post_link_to_contact_form($props, $attrs, $render_slug) {
if ($render_slug !== 'et_pb_contact_form' || !is_array($props)) {
return $props;
}
// Don't apply when in visual builder
if (is_admin() || function_exists('et_core_is_fb_enabled') && et_core_is_fb_enabled()) {
return $props;
}
if (!empty($props['custom_message'])) {
$title = get_the_title();
$url = get_permalink();
$props['custom_message'] = str_replace('%%post_name%%', $title, $props['custom_message']);
$props['custom_message'] = str_replace('%%post_url%%', $url, $props['custom_message']);
$props['custom_message'] = str_replace('%%post_link%%', '<a href="'.esc_attr($url).'" target="_blank">'.esc_html($title).'</a>', $props['custom_message']);
}
return $props;

That adds the following placeholders for use in the contact form module:
%%post_name%% – the title of the post / page
%%post_url%% – the URL of the post / page
%%post_link%% – a html link containing the post title and URL
You can now use them in the contact form custom message pattern field, e.g:
i works but the strange things is after adding:
%%post_name%%
%%post_url%%
then saving the page, the variables are replaced with the actual content?
is there no way to add the variables and let them remain there as variables so that they only add the post or page name and url at the time of creating the email ? this would allow for easy copy of the module to multiple pages
Hey Bijal, thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the code to prevent it from running when editing the page, which should prevent the placeholders from being replaced with the actual content in the contact form module settings. I hope it helps, but let me know if not. Thanks!
Thanks Gustavo, will check this out today and let you know how it went. this really is a great little snippet.
and thank you for making the effort and taking the time.
oops sorry Dan (not gustavo)… had my brain freezing up a bit there… and I checked it out and it works great.
thank you, much appreciated.
Ha ha, no worries, Bijal! I'm glad the update is working – thanks for confirming!
Thank you very much!! This piece of code was totally helpful.
Great job. It worked great for me. Appreciate it a lot.
You're very welcome, Gustavo! I find this one very useful myself :)
Thanks!
