 * The contents of the drop down list look like this:
 * 0::Alaweo Pl, 1::Alaweo St, 2::Aulena Pl, 3::Ehupua Pl, 4::Ehupua St, 5::Hanahanai
   Pl, 6::Hapai St, 7::Hawane, etc.

 * One other, odd thing. When I configure the plugin as you describe in your email,
   it appears to work each time I change the approval field from the admin back 
   end, but it doesn’t work when I use the front end. Likewise, when I use the front
   end, if I have “Send Record Form Update Notification Email” checked, I get an
   email when the record is updated, but if I update the same record from the admin
   back end, no notification is sent.

 * The way I’ve setup my database, the “approval” field is a checkbox in a multi-
   checkbox array of values, in this case a string of years. There used to be documentation
   on how to print out an entire record for debugging purposes, so either I need
   that again, or some clue as to how to reference an array element value in the
   example code to key off of.

 * This new example is very helpful. In the example email, it looks like you can
   include values from the database, as you can with the other mail options in the
   plugin. Can HTML be included in the outgoing mail as well? Specifically, I’d 
   like to include a URL.

 * This works for me as well, but if I choose another page, it puts me at the very
   bottom of the page, not at the top. Is this a CSS thing?

 * No page cache. I did try re-saving the permalinks, and I just tried updating 
   to the latest version of PDB, after disabling ALL other plugins. No difference;
   still get taken to the 404 error page after saving an edited record from the 
   front end. Exactly same code worked in pre-1.7 PDB.

 * With the update, I can now go to the edit_record page in the front end, and make
   changes to the record. However, when I save those changes, I’m taken to a “404”
   error page, which unfortunately doesn’t tell me what page it was trying to find.
   I was using a custom template from 1.6, but I changed the page to just a [pdf_record],
   and it still doesn’t save correctly.

 * Is there any chance that a simple mechanism to show all the records could be 
   created, so that the theme can handle the output records as it sees fit? The 
   theme developer doesn’t seem inclined to provide support in disabling their customer
   scrolling feature…

 * Yes, I must have added the sort function from an example somewhere, sorry for
   the confusion.
 * So, I updated the record template to the version in 1.6, and then added my changes
   to it. When I include the short code [pdb_record template=edit], and name my 
   template pdb-record-edit.php, my changes work but I get the same problem with
   displaying the short code text after submitting a change. If I rename the file
   to be pdb-record-default.php and change the short code to be [pdb_record], not
   only do my changes work, but I see the expected behavior after submit. Note, 
   these files live in the templates directory under the child theme; I’m not touching
   the files in the plugin directory at all. I also tried the short code [pdb_record
   template=default], and it worked correctly as well.
