Hi everybody,
Is there anyone else out there reading this topic who might have any suggestions ? Cos i’m really stuck at the moment.
Ack – that would take some serious customization to achieve. But let me suggest another way of doing this:
1) Force people to register for the WP site. Go to Settings > General and check ‘Anyone can register’. Find a user registration plugin that suits your needs.
2) For each of the forms, go to the ‘Advanced’ tab in the editor, and set ‘Behavior type’ to ‘Single submission’ (this allows only one submission per user), ‘keep most recent submission’, or ‘user profile’. Each of these will keep only one submission per user in the database.
3) To aggregate submissions, download the CSV for each form, place them all in Excel (or whatever), and align the ‘user’ columns. Then sort by the user column.
I wouldn’t normally give such a lengthy response, but you said it was for school… so good luck!

Hallo Mr. Hoffcamp,
Thank you very much for your respond.
I have been looking at your idea, and I must say it has solved some issue which I expected to deal with in a later stadium. So there for many thanks.
But my basic problem is not solved. And I’ve got the feeling that perhaps it wasn’t explained well.
I’m not sure but let me try it one more time with an example.
What I meant with “splitting up the child registration” is that once a child registration is started by, let’s say a special teacher, then the first form will deal with that. She fills in the name, birth, address, class, etc.
But after a few months the special teacher needs to fill in a second form (still related with this child)with questions like how is the child doing in his new class, did the special treatment help or does he need special courses. etc.
And after a few more months the special teacher fills in a third form which would be about the outcome and a summary.
And that’s why I was hoping for the possibility of posting the data from the thirst form (name address etc.) including the short code from the second form (progress, treatment, etc.).
Again. I wasn’t sure if you understood my question. And perhaps there is still no solution possible. But then at least I’m sure my explanation wasn’t the cause.
Greetings, R. Hellemons

Hallo Mr. Hoffcamp,
Seeing that there is no repond to my second post, then i suppose there is no other solution for my question.
Thanks anyway for this plugin.

Hey sorry, I’ve been busy. I try to answer the forum roughly once a week…
What might work for you is to use the ‘private fields’ under ‘Form Extra’ in the form editor. There is an ‘ID’ field that will generate unique numbers for each post. You could include the ID number in the e-mail notification, or send it yourself. Either way, the teacher could then use that unique ID in the later forms. When you download the data for each form, you can sort everything by the ID numbers, and then all the information for that child will be together.
I hope that helps.

Hallo Mr. Hoffcamp,
This would really be great.
At least if i understand your explanation right.
I made an extra field in form extra.
I called this “leerling volgnummer” and also gave it the same nickname.
But.. how do i let a summery from that unique ID show up in a teachers later form?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings, R. Hellemons
