Anyone out there have any ideas on this one?

Honestly, I have no idea what could have caused the corruption, as all I did was swap out and try a different theme for testing purposes.

To resolve, I ended up wiping the child theme out and starting from scratch. Here’s a good reason to have backups…. I recreated the child theme, added back the pertinent files and all is well again.

I tested this with other themes…
The initial [contact-form-7 id=”123″ title=”your title”] shortcode call behaves as in the first post (only works if variable assigned inline, vs using get_field)

However, the shortcode for [cfdb-table….] works the first time in other themes, vs only working on every second page refresh.

Still haven’t found anything on how the form created for unregistering for a hike could be set so the user would automatically be removed from the back-end CFDB db.

For now, I go in and manually remove them. Would like to automate it.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Just checking in to see if anyone else has run into this? It appears that in order to check for duplicate submissions by user name (some members share email so they aren’t unique), I need to do the following:

1. Create a unique form for each hike a user might sign up for. That form must have a unique user name specific to that hike & form.
2. Create a unique filter for each hike that searches for that unique user name created in step #1.

We also need to allow users to unsubscribe to a hike, so I need to:

Redo steps 1 & 2 above for the unsubscribe action, creating new filters & unique field/form/function names for each.

We could have upwards of 300 hikes in a year – which means I’ll have 600 forms and 600 filters in a year. That’s a lot of coding! And, won’t make this site easy to hand off should someone else take over maintenance later on.

1. What impact will all these filters have on the performance of the site?

and more importantly

2. Is there a better way that I should be doing this? (catching dup submissions for sign up and unsubscribe for approx 300 individual hikes).

Oh! My apologies. I will research there then.

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers
Kathy

Michael – WOW, thanks for the super fast response.

Unchecking the shortcode box worked like a charm! The form kicked back the “you have already registered…” message perfectly. It also kicked out a “Validation errors occurred. Please confirm the fields and submit it again”. I’m assuming that’s because the user had already registered – but how do I stop that message from appearing in this instance?

Thanks again!

That worked like a charm! We will have too many hikes to effectively use the drop down selector – so what I did was create a landing page that held the report of hikers signed up, and passed in the name of the hike. For anyone else that might need to do this, here’s the code I used.

On the actual HIKE EVENT page, I displayed the list of hikers signed up as follows:
[cfdb-table form="Dutchman Trail" class="hikersgoingclass" headers="your-name=Hiker Name,your-email=Email,your-phone=Phone,can-drive=Can Drive?,Num-hikers=Number of Hikers I Can Take" show="your-name,your-email,your-phone,can-drive,Num-hikers" limit="20" orderby="Submitted desc"][/cfdb-table]

Then I included a button to take the users to the printable hikers list page, passing the hike name to the new page via the NAMEOFHIKE variable in the new page URL like this: suncityanthemhikingclub.com/who-is-going/?nameofhike='Dutchman Trail'

Here’s the full line of code:
<a href="http://suncityanthemhikingclub.com/who-is-going/?nameofhike='Dutchman Trail'">Click For Printable List of Hikers</a>

The REPORT page code required that I strip the slashes out of the incoming NAMEOFHIKE. The report header uses the variable to identify the hike in question. This allows me to have one landing page that we can use for any hike. Here is that final code:

<?php $nameofthehike=$_GET[nameofhike]?>

<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>HIKERS WHO HAVE SIGNED UP</strong></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><strong>FOR THE FOLLOWING HIKE</strong></h1>
 
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><?php echo stripslashes($nameofthehike);?></h2>

   [cfdb-table form=<?php echo stripslashes($nameofthehike);?> class="hikersgoingclass" headers="your-name=Hiker Name,your-email=Email,your-phone=Phone,can-drive=Can Drive?,Num-hikers=Number of Hikers I Can Take" show="your-name,your-email,your-phone,can-drive,Num-hikers" limit="20" orderby="Submitted desc"]

Thanks so much for all your help. Everything is working perfectly now.

Cheers
Kathy
