In the template itself I don’t know what to do: I want to display most of the fields and then the edit link. So all I want to do to customize the default single template is make the edit link active, to bring the user to the edit page for that record.

Here’s what I have that’s not working:

<div class="wrap <?php echo $this->wrap_class ?>">

  <?php while ( $this->have_groups() ) : $this->the_group(); ?>

  <div class="section <?php $this->group->print_class() ?>" id="<?php echo Participants_Db::$prefix.$this->group->name ?>">

  <?php /*?> <?php $this->group->print_title( '<h2 class="pdb-group-title">', '</h2>' ) ?><?php */?>

    <?php $this->group->print_description() ?>
      <?php $record = new PDb_Template($this); ?>

      <?php while ( $this->have_fields() ) : $this->the_field();?>

       <?php
        /*
         * put the edit link URL into the link property of the field
         */
        if ($this->field->name == 'edit_link') {
          $this->field->link = $record->get_edit_link();
        }
        $this->field->print_value();
        ?>

here’s my shortcode:
[pdb_single template=custom, fields="job_number, employer,job_type, practice_area, job_title, job_description, region,state,whats_new,date_posted,practice_area2, edit_link"]

Now I want to add the edit link to a page that uses the pdb_single shortcode to display a single record. Is this possible? I think I need to make changes to pdb-single.php but I don’t know exactly what or where.

So I added the Edit Record Link as described in the above article, and this time it all worked. But the link created just re-displays the list page instead of going to the edit page for that record.

Here’s the url of the list page:
/index.php/list-jobs-2/
and the Edit link for one of the listed jobs is:
/index.php/list-jobs-2/?pid=8IUTG

The pid in the link for each job is different but clicking on it just redisplays the list page.

My custom template is pdb-list-edit.php, I put it in the templates folder in my child-theme folder, and on the list page I used the shortcode [pdb_list template=edit]

I tried that and couldn’t make it work. I’ll try again.
