How Does it Generate MySQL Table Name?

The default table name is {prefix}_form_{form_id}. Example is wp_form_105.

If we need to change the MySQL table name, then add the following code to theme functions.php then we can change the table name.

add_filter('db4wp_form_table_name', 'my_custom_change_entry_table_name', 10, 3);
function my_custom_change_entry_table_name($table_name, $form_id, $prefix){
   if( $form_id == 105){
     $table_name = 'my_custom_table';
   }
   return $table_name;
}

add_filter('db4wp_form_table_name', 'my_custom_change_entry_table_name', 10, 3);

function my_custom_change_entry_table_name($table_name, $form_id, $prefix){

if( $form_id == 105){

$table_name = 'my_custom_table';

}

return $table_name;

}

How Does it Generate MySQL Column Name?

The default column name is coming from the input field label or placeholder.

Example: Label is First Name then the MySQL column name is first_name.

We can change the column name by following the code. Add the following code to theme functions.php

add_filter('db4wp_form_map_data', 'my_custom_change_column_name', 10, 3);
function my_custom_change_column_name($arr, $form_id){
    if( $form_id == 105){
        $arr['first_name'] = 'my_custom_name';
    }
    return $arr;
}

add_filter('db4wp_form_map_data', 'my_custom_change_column_name', 10, 3);

function my_custom_change_column_name($arr, $form_id){

if( $form_id == 105){

$arr['first_name'] = 'my_custom_name';

}

return $arr;

}
