How to add search ability to list page?

  • I just installed the plugin today and am trying to get a working prototype of it to show our school’s PTA.

    I created my custom fields and it displays pretty well on the page. They need the ability to search the list though and I don’t see any settings or short code to allow this to happen. From the WP admin portal it shows a search feature for admins – this is what I need to have on the user-facing list.

    Is this possible with this plugin or do I need to try a different one?

    You can add a simple search control to the list by using the “search” attribute, like this:

    [pdb_list search=true]

    I have similar issue and as also a novice changed the [pdb_list] to [pdb_listsearch=true]
    is this incorrect?

    perlgoodies did you get this to work?

    Also need guidance on how to edit the look of the displayed database page on my website as it currently looks awful. Have no issues with the fields just how they are being diplayed.
    Thanks

    In your shortcode, the space is important: should be [pdb_list search=true]

    As to styling your list, it’s really up to the theme to give you a good layout. The plugin doesn’t provide settings for styling it’s displays, you need to do that with CSS. One thing you could try is a different template, there are three built into the plugin, the default, plus these two:

    [pdb_list template=bootstrap]
    [pdb_list template=responsive]
