Hi Roland,

I’ve looked and researched and don’t how to get the hidden field into the loop. Below is the html code for the form and I’m not sure what to change to get my hidden field into the form without attempting to be a php programmer (which I’m not). Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Patricia

<form method=”post” enctype=”multipart/form-data” >
<input type=”hidden” name=”action” value=”signup” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”source” value=”participants-database” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”shortcode_page” value=”register” />
<input type=”hidden” name=”thanks_page” value=”http://mindmymum.com/thank-you-for-registering/&#8221; />
<table class=”form-table pdb-signup”>
<tr id=”first_name” class=”text-line”>
<th>First Name</th>

<td>
<input type=”text” name=”first_name” class=”required-field” value=”” />
</td>
</tr>
<tr id=”zip” class=”text-line”>
<th>Zip Code</th>
<td>
<input type=”text” name=”zip” value=”” />

</td>
</tr>
<tr id=”email” class=”text-line”>
<th>Email</th>
<td>
<input type=”text” name=”email” class=”required-field” value=”” />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan=”2″ class=”submit-buttons”>
<input type=”submit” name=”submit” class=”button-primary pdb-submit” value=”Sign Up” />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

Hi Roland,

Thank you for trying to make it simpler for me but I’m still having problems. I found another post where you explained the same thing AND where you explain how to do it your documentation and am still having problems. I cannot get the hidden field to write to the database. I have even tried reinstalling the plugin.

1. I created a field with the Name “folkssignup” and the Title “Folks Signup” and made it a hidden field with the value being “post->post_title” (all without the quotes). I also tried checking and unchecking the boxes for Signup and for Sortable and couldn’t get it to work either way.

2. On my search page I put in [pdb_list filter=’title=Folks SignUp’] assuming that the title had to match exactly what was in the Title field. That didn’t work but then I’m not surprised as when I go to look at the back end of the records there is no indication that when I tested the input page after having added the hidden field, nothing got added to record. It remains blank. The results of my search showed all the records that I have tried putting in.

I know that there is a simple answer to this and I do appreciate any help that you can give.

Thank you,
Patricia

Thank you, I, too, will give it a try. Thanks for the direction!

Hi Roland,

I think I figured out how to use the short codes list and record to try to display specific information to a certain group of people.

Thank you for your help,
Patricia
