I’ve inherited a website that uses Participants Database for a historical document library. The organization would like to have multiple images for each record when they load their next batch of documents. Is that possible with the Image Expansion Kit or another Add-On? Is there a website where I can show them what that would look like?
Thanks!

I am being encouraged by my Internet Service Provider to switch from PHP 8.1.30 to PHP 8.2.24. Can you please confirm whether this migration will be OK for PDB.
Many thanks

We have a database based on properties in a home owners association. The primary property owner’s email is the one used for each record, and must be unique. We feed these addresses into MailChimp via the plugin, and it works great.
We have other people that live at each of these properties. We’d like to add them to the mailing list, perhaps as child records under each property. We would then export these records to MailChimp as well, ideally with a field that defined them as “associates” rather than as “owners”, so they could be targeted separately with bulk emails.
Would the relational plugin help us maintain two or more email addresses for each record? Would this smoothly integrate into MailChimp? Is there a better way to consider doing this with Participants?
Mahalo!

]]>What I miss in the API: when I do a lookup of whatever information I search for via a GET, i get a response where I cannot do much with. I give an example: I search for a ‘name’. I will get back the number of names that exist in the PDB. When I want to check more information on one or more records, I am stuck, because I don’t have the recordID that I need to do a lookup of all the info of ‘name’ (or a delete, etc…).
Or, I have missed an option, that’s also possible ??

]]>Hi there, I would like to maintain a list of “participant skills” in a separate table. A person could have one or many skills. There would be several dozen skills initially – over time I want people to be able to add new skills using a form. I would want to allow filtering participants with specific skills by choosing from a list of skills.
Creating new fields in the participant record is a clumsy way to do this and a pain to maintain. Will the relational database add on allow me to create and maintain a separate “skills” table.
thanks!

first thank you, its really a great plugin with a lot of features in the free version and I have already bought 5 add ons from your website (e.g. location map).

I would like to use 2 fields from my database, house_number and street_name to insert into JavaScript code that creates a URL to search a county property records website. Our HOA is using a Participants Database to store homeowners’ property and contact information. We need to access the county property records to obtain the current mailing address for properties. This may differ from the homeowner’s street address. I live in a resort area and many people here have second homes, with their primary home being elsewhere. My idea is that after a search, at the end of the pdb_single page I could place the JavaScript code that would use the returned house_number and street_name and, upon pressing a button, launch the URL to search for the corresponding record in the county property records where the homeowner’s mailing address is stored. Can anyone help with this idea?
Thanks,
Bob

]]>Hi, I am new to WP and the site that I have inherited a sire which uses the Participants Database plugin by Xnau Webdesign. I need to update the plugin to the latest version 2.5.9.3 because our site has experienced a PHP code injection issue. I downloaded the auto updater plugin from the Xnau website, and the instructions is to find the ZIP file to upload. But in the download folder, there is no ZIP file, and as a result, I cannot upload the latest version of the plugin. Any insight or help would be appreciate.
]]>Hi,
I really like the plugin, it is very well made and works pretty much as good as I had hoped. With that said, I do have one issue.
My database is about 150 and my issue is when I show all of them at once on the front end the load time is very very slow, sometimes reaching over a minute.
The problem is that the page which lists them is password protected. When it is not password protected the list is cached and loaded very quickly after the first load, but when it’s password protected it no longer can cache.
I’m not sure if there is anything I can do here to mitigate this or if there is possibly a better way to privatize the list so that it can cache?
Thank you

first of all – i hope that all goes well across the Atlantic – hope youre well and all is fine
i am a big big fan of the Participants-Database – i love it with all its features and great options:
that said i have one question – for a new project i think i need some features and options that – for example can be seen here:
see the so called “digitale-netzwerkkarte”: (see the links below)
https://netzwerkkarte.mint-ec.de/
https://netzwerkkarte.mint-ec.de/netzwerke

well: the quesion is: can we do something similar with the Participants-database!? Well this would be awesome. Dear Roland – i really look forward to your feedback
have a great day – and yes: keep up the great project: it rocks
Hello,
As seen below, the plugin creates millions of transients unnecessarily (duplicated).
If I convert the timeout value from millisecond to date for the corresponding transient, It says Tue Jan 20 1970. Also, I added checked two random transients to see whether they’re duplicated or not:
Because of the issue our database went crazy! Although I deleted all the transients, they automatically appeared again.
Any idea? Thank you!

It stats the following:
New Advisory Notification
Dear Google Cloud customer,
You've received an important Google Cloud notification affecting your resource, cleancourts-maps’s Google Cloud service(s).

[Security Alert]: Polyfill.io Issue for Google Maps Platform users
6/28/24, 4:25 PM
Hello Google Maps Platform Customer,
We're writing to let you know that a security issue may be affecting websites using specific third-party libraries (including polyfill.io).
What happened
We have become aware of a security issue that may be affecting websites using specific third-party libraries (including polyfill.io). This issue can sometimes redirect visitors away from the intended website without website owner knowledge or permission, or potentially cause other malicious behavior. Many of the Maps JavaScript API samples in the Developer Documentation previously included a polyfill.io script declaration. We have removed this from those samples. If you have used the Maps JavaScript API samples that contain this declaration, we recommend removing the declaration.
What to do
Please see below to learn how to take action, if needed:
Investigate your website: Check your website's code to see if you're loading any compromised libraries (including polyfill.io).
Remove or replace the code: If you find compromised libraries, consider:
Hosting a clean, secure version of the code yourself
Switching to an alternative library or provider
Removing the library if you don’t need it
Re-deploy your code through your regular process.
For your reference, attached is a list of your projects where we have detected Maps Javascript API usage. Please check all sites associated with these projects.
We're here to help
We know that taking action on this issue can be disruptive. If you have any questions or require assistance, please feel free to contact our support team at Google Maps Platform Support.
Thanks for choosing Google Maps Platform.
Sincerely,
The Google Maps Platform TeamI am using Directory Tools to generate proxy posts for all my records. Google will not index any of my record pages however, stating for each one that there is an ‘Alternative page with proper canonical tag.’
Part of the product set-up instructions states:
Use Proxy Posts for Single Record Displays
This changes how the “single record display” or detail page operates with Participants Database. When checked, the detail links usually shown in Participants Database list displays and search results will be changed to point to the proxy post instead of the regular single record display. This means you don’t need a page with the [pdb_single] shortcode on it any more, this is now handled by the proxy post.
But if I remove the page with the shortcode after generating all my proxy posts, they all come up with a 404. So I’m at a loss as to how to get this to work so that Google will index my pages?
