frontend list single record edit link

thanks for the reply. 🙂

Done: “participant record page” setting (record form tab) to point to the page with the [pdb_record]

Done:”the folder in your theme must be named “templates” for instance.” that inside has the pdb-list.php
I can find and edit the file in the theme editor in wordpress

<?php
/*
 *
 * template for participants list shortcode output
 *
 * this is the default template which formats the list of records as a table
 * using shortcut functions to display the componenets
 *
 * If you need more control over the display, look at the detailed template
 * (pdb-list-detailed.php) for an example of how this can be done
 *
 * Please note that if you have more than one list on a page, searching, sorting
 * and pagination will not work correctly.
 *

I haven’t created a child theme for this site bc is just a demo to get to know better wich plugins I need and how they interact 🙂

I have created the Edit Link record exactly as you said:
Name edit_link
Title Edit Link
Default Edit
Form element Text-line
Display column 14
Read Only yes

to try first with the original code 🙂

if ($this->field->name == 'edit_link') {
          $this->field->link = $record->get_edit_link();

Still don’t work
I know I am doing something wrong and/or not doing something but I really don’t get it 🙁

Could it be bc the demo site is on a 3rd level domain?
Bc I’ve also created a new 3rd level domain with new db only your plugin
and basic settings but no Edit Link linkable in the display list …. 🙁

I deactivated Private only plugin so now the demo site is viewable

I really appreciate your plugin and your help!
Thanks a lot!!!

You are right!!!! That was it!!!
Still can’t believe I was so dumb!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

Ps I even feel more dumb bc I read the template creation documentation and output with the [pdb_list template=templatename]

Thanks again!
