Both of those things would require some pretty extensive development to make happen. In the first case, you’d have to temporarily store the user’s changes until they could be approved. All I can offer you there is the admin notification that happens when a record is updated by a user on the frontend.
I do have an article on using the plugin with WordPress users, but doing anything like what you’re asking for will require some development skills.
Using Participants Database with WordPress Users
Thank you for your quick reply. Do you foresee yourself modifying your plugin to do these things? It would be extremely useful to our organization if you did. The reason we need the admins to approve edits is because we use our database to generate mailing labels and we have to check for errors that could cause trouble in mailing. Editing contact info from the profile would just be easier for our members.
Well, in the first case, the notification email can be used to know which record need to be checked, so not allowing the changes to be published until approved would be unnecessary. I thought maybe you were trying to prevent unwanted content from getting published.
For integrating a plugin record with the WordPress user profile, I’ve considered this, but decided against it as the demand for it is limited and the development time is surprisingly large because I would have to develop the feature for the general case.
You have inspired me to use this plugin and I thank you for that. Your dedication to your product is outstanding.
