Great plugin! Thank Oliver.

Just one question about Multiple line of text form. I use it to post an entry on my blog. here is image for my multiple line of text form.

Problem here, when the data posted.. the text will look like

Lorem Ipsum 1 Lorem Ipsum 2 Lorem Ipsum 3 Lorem Ipsum 4 Lorem Ipsum 5 Lorem Ipsum5

How to make it look like

Lorem Ipsum 1

Lorem Ipsum 2

Lorem Ipsum 3

Lorem Ipsum 4

Lorem Ipsum 5

Lorem Ipsum5

that's odd, because when you enter lines and line breaks in an "multiple line text field" it should be transmitted as such. not sure why all line breaks are being removed in your case…

hmmm.. it's possible to enable html code to the fields?

example i write

testing 1

testing 2

testing3

on the multi-text.

then it will automated add the html code to the custom fields?

<p>testing 1</p>

<p>testing 2</p>

<p>testing 3</p>

You can do this via my-functions.php and the filter routines. Again, <br/> should be inserted already after a line break, have you tried different browsers?

Not sure what you need the 'add_post_meta' for, here is what I would do:

  1. enable the .._filter functions
  2. enabled & configure @mail('your@email.com', 'cforms my_act…
  3. adjust 'sendbutton3' to match your form
  4. test submit a form
  5. see what the actual $POSTdata includes and what the exact field in question is

once done, you can start manipulating the right fields in $POSTdata, e.g.:

$POSTdata['cf3_field_3'] = str_replace("\\n",'<br/>',$POSTdata['cf3_field_3']);

if cf3_field_3 was your text field (non ajax _filter routine)
