Submitted login field is not posting for logged in users for CF7 4.8

[CraigT543]

The submitted login field for logged in users will not post when using CF7 4.8. It works fine if we roll back to CF7 4.7.

It looks like the problem is in CF7DBPlugin.php and the use of posted_data which is depreciated since 3.9. In CF7 documentation I found:

` / WPCF7_ContactForm object no longer has a posted_data property. / $posted_data = $contact_form->posted_data; // Wrong.

/ Use WPCF7_Submission object's get_posted_data() method to get it. / $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

if ( $submission ) { $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data(); }

`

My at least temporary solution:

In CF7DBPlugin.php after line 794 ($user = null;) I have added the following:

`

        $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();

        if ( $submission ) {
            $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
        }

        $user = $posted_data['userlogin'];

` And within my forms I have added the following hidden field near the bottom of the forms:

[hidden userlogin default:user_login]

This restores the functioning of the program for now. I am sure there is a better way.

The better more permanent solution:

In your contact form add the following near the bottom of the form:

[hidden userlogin default:user_login]`

And within your Functions.php add the following:

`//Add Submitted Login to CF7 forms where [hidden userlogin default:user_login]
function filter_add_cf7_submitted_login($formData) {
        $submission = WPCF7_Submission::get_instance();
        if ( $submission ) {
            $posted_data = $submission->get_posted_data();
            $formData->user = $posted_data['userlogin']; // string user name if submitter was logged in. May be null
        }
    return $formData;
}
add_filter('cfdb_form_data', 'filter_add_cf7_submitted_login');
