# Using edit record

 * Great plug in. Just trying to make it work exactly as I need it to.
 * I am using Weaver II Themes with Weaver XTreme Theme support. I am also using
   a plugin called “Hide This” to protect the content from being visible to anyone
   who is not logged in.
 * The database fields include a Multi-Select Checkbox which can be ticked to identify
   the club/s a participant attends. There are also text-fields for each club in
   the record which will be used to record attendance based on week no for each 
   club.
 * On my list page “Members List” I have this code:
    [pdb_list search=true sort=
   true filter=delete_record=no single_record_link=”edit-record”]
 * The first field displayed in the list is a clickable profile image that has been
   uploaded.
 * On my single page “Participant Profile” I have this code:
    [pdb_single fields
   =first_name,last_name,date_of_birth,address,zip,phone,email,publicity,allergies,
   conditions,ethnicity,your_profile_picture,emergency_first_name,emergency_phone,
   emergency_contact_2,emergency_contact_2_phone]
 * On my record page “Edit Record” I have this code:
    [pdb_record]
 * In the settings for the plug in I have set the Participants Record Page to “Edit
   Record” and the Single Record Page to “Participant Profile”.
 * ISSUES:
    1) Clicking on the profile image in the list takes me to the Participant
   Profile page with the [pdb_single] shortcode. I cannot get this click to take
   me to the Edit Record page successfully. The only times I have it does not have
   the record id of the selected record.
 * 2) I can set a filter for deleted records as per the guidance given. How can 
   I identify filters for a multi-select checkbox? For example, of 10 listed clubs
   if I click onto a page for the fifth club in the list how can I filter records
   where this is true?
 * 3) I had hoped that the single_record_link in the [pdb_list] shortcode would 
   allow me to specify a specific page for different lists. I want to use the list
   with clickable images as a register where clicking on an image would toggle a
   participants attendance. I’ve got a lot of template reading to do but any quick
   pointers as to where I would trap this would be great.
 * In item 3) above I am looking to amend the attendance string by replacing a position
   in the string based on a week number calculated using the current date. Clicking
   on the image would toggle the attendance for the current week between Not Present–”“;
   Present – “P”; Present IOU – “O”; Junior Volunteer – “V”. Ideally the list could
   show the current value for the current week number. The attendance string allows
   for up to 255 characters so I should get plenty of weeks use out of this!
 * I would be grateful for your help with items 1 to 3. I’ve just recalled something
   about asking you to quote for developing items specifically so I shall send that
   in a separate email.

 * In order to use the list display to provide a link to an editable record, you
   have to use a custom template, as per this article:
 * [Adding an Edit Record Link to the Frontend List](https://xnau.com/adding-an-edit-record-link-to-the-frontend-list/)
 * You can filter the list shortcode by the value in a multiselect by using the “
   like” operator…for instance:
 * `[pdb_list filter="club~boxing"]`
 * will give you all records with the term “boxing” ticked.
