In reply to: [Twenty Thirteen] How to Change Layout to Two ColumnI love 2013, but wanted to know if there was any way to suppress the right-hand column widget and remain at one-column display on selective pages.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Accessing full records (read-write) from pdb_listOK. No luck. So I did the following: (1) I did a fresh install of wordpress and your plugin, leaving fields unchanged. (2) created a read-only database field named “edit” and made it sortable. Also defaulted its value to “EDIT”. (3) Created a target page for the pdb_list shortcode. Created a new template based on “pdb-list-detailed.php” called “pdb-list-ajpeditable.php”. They are identical, except that the latter has your code snippet inserted. (4) Uploaded my new template to a subdirectory of my responsive theme called “templates”. (5) Completed configurations and double-checked checked my settings for pdb_record shortcode page. (6) Put the following shortcode on my “pdb_list” page: “[pdb_list template=”ajpeditable”].
Still no luck! What I get is a column in my records listing that has a column heading called EDIT, but rather than a hyperlink for each record leading to an editable complete record, I get the following string:(this is the one for my 1st of 3 test records):
I wish I could debug this myself, but can we fix my blindspot?

In reply to: [Participants Database] Accessing full records (read-write) from pdb_listI must be missing something. After executing the steps below, I get (for example) the following displaying on my [pdb_list] page, instead of the defaulted word, “VIEW”:
Clicking on the link takes me to that record, but in a view-only mode. What am I missing?
My steps:
– created a read-only field called EDIT with VIEW as its default. Made it sortable.
– Copied pdb-list-detailed.php to my local machine. Edited it to include your insert below the “$this->the_field()” line. Saved the file.
– Uploaded pdb-list-detailed.php to a directory under my plugin. I’m using “responsive” as my theme, and my directory under wordpress’s themes directory is responsive/themes/pdb-list-detailed.php.

In reply to: [Participants Database] 404 Error when using Sign-up shortcodeXNAU:
Thanks so much for not only your great plugin, but also for the thoughtful support you provided as we were working out the kinks.
With you input, I gave WordPress a “clean” installation and was able to get the plugin going just fine. Great answer to the needs we had. I also learned a lot more about how WordPress works.
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Participants Database] 404 Error when using Sign-up shortcodeR:
I think I’m ALMOST home. I put my submit button back to its original setting and cleaned up my submission form. I can fill out a sample form completely and send it, and get the listing into the database and the email notification of new subscriber gets sent.
My one remaining problem seems to be error-checking. When I first installed plugin, failure to fill in a required field on the form resulted in that red-bordered box that listed the required fields left empty. NOW, if ANY required information is left off the form, I get the “404 message”.
I MISS the red box, and I’m afraid that exhibitors missing a required field will too!
Your thoughts?

In reply to: [Participants Database] 404 Error when using Sign-up shortcodeI can’t recall if I modified any other settings that might account for the problem. I think the easiest course of action will be for me to start from scratch. I can certainly apply what I’ve retained in my notes about how I wanted to structure the database and such.
I’ll leave SUBMIT alone….. And double check for other possible problem wording.
I’ll drop another line when I’ve done these….please keep this open for the moment. I’ll be back!
Many thanks.

In reply to: [Participants Database] 404 Error when using Sign-up shortcodeI tried your chage – took out the word “request” from both the button and the name of the page. Doesn’t seem to help.
I’ll contact my provider, NETWORK SOLUTIONS. But if it’s a problem with an APACHE module, I’m having trouble understanding why it worked previously, but stopped working. As if I did something in customization that caused it to stop working……
If you think of anything else, let me know. Meanwhile I’ll contact my guys….

In reply to: [Participants Database] 404 Error when using Sign-up shortcodeYes. My permalinks are set at default, and I re-saved. Can I show you anything that might “click” with you on the reason for the problem? Perhaps you could go to it (bodyandsolwoman.com)and try the form to see what I mean….
Or – any other ideas?

The update cured my can’t-delete-the-report problem, but now I’m getting the following two notes at the top of the dashboard plugin window:

In reply to: [Participants Database] Getting to a pdb-single record listing from pdb-listXNAU – You’ve been great.
Yes – I worked out the link field, thanks to your advice.
We have about a dozen “editors” that I’m trying to keep away from the dashboard’s ERASE ALL capabilities – so I was hoping that there would be some way to go from a “pdb_list”‘s link to a “pdb_record” that could be edited/updated. Is this possible in a user-friendly way?
And I could use any advice you might have on best methods for easy report-writing from the database, and any advice on mail-merging.

In reply to: [Participants Database] Getting to a pdb-single record listing from pdb-listI appreciate your answering very much. And I’m sure I can handle the permissions issues with a little more plugin practice. But I’m having either conceptual or procedural troubles with two activities:
(1) I’m unable to get a single record to display at all using the pdb_record and pdb_single shortcodes. In my test environment, my URL displaying pdb_single is “http://localhost/database1/?page_id=88″. How should this line read to display a given record, say a participant with id=”1100″ and private id=”mz4wm”?
(2) I’m unable to put a link into my pdb_list page that takes the reader to an individual full record. In SETTINGS, my Single Record Link Field is set to be “Link” (a custom field I added) and my Single Record Page to “Record Edit”, the name of that page. But the Link field in both listed records and the dashboard remains unpopulated by any link to the individual records.
My database presently has about 800 records in it. At this point, ALL were copied in by uploading a CSV file.
Many thanks.
