Hi this is a great plugin but I need some help I am doing some simple customization work for a membership site. I don’t need participants to go in and change their data or for participants to be created that data will be created manually or imported.
1. Instead of going into the back-end of wordpress to create manually participants I want someone to create all the participants at the frontend through a form on a protected page (participants join as members only to use the search facility). The actual users I just want to use the search and sort page (as if they were doing a literature search).
2. Once I have sorted this I will need some help in formatting the output of search and sort on the search page because of the numbers of fields it goes off page to the right. It probably needs splitting into 3 lines per participant to get all the fields on the page or it outputs the information to a blank page of some kind for printing.
3. Finally I don’t want listed below the search and sort all of the files, I need a user just to search the database and the output to appear below with out the participants list.
So I guess first thing is to get the form to post to new participants each time its submitted (1). Then to sort the search display (2 + 3).
This kind of thing is best posted as it own topic, you’re more likely to get someone to help…also the bigger the question, the more likely it won’t get answered at all.
Your first one isn’t hard, just put the signup form on a protected page. The plugin doesn’t know anything about users being logged in or not.
The second one is hard to answer because it’s really a design/layout question that has to be answered in the context of your theme. There aren’t any general answers for soemthign like that.
The third one, is in the docs, there is a shortcode attribute “suppress” that does this.
Hi OK thanks for the help I have sorted the suppress attribute and that’s working fine. We are just in testing phase so the sign up form is already on a protected page. My input clerk has input 3 signups but when I went into the back end to look for the signups there was only 1 and it was the last one he had submitted so that indicates to me that something is overwriting the original sign up each time (but I need to check if he has done anything different than just submit the form data).
The theme is an Ithemes Yukon you can see the page style here https://www.jasperglobal.com/
Thank you xnau, it works really fine!
