A Few Questions

    First of all, great plugin. I was searching for weeks for something like this.

    Questions:
    1. For LINK form elements… is there a way to make the DEFAULT hard-code aka non user editable. I don’t want users to be able to change this. Also, is there a way to have the link entry box have text already in there for the user? Ex: https://

    2. Is there a way that will only allow users the option to search ONE field. Right now I have 6 fields that display. I only want them to have the ability to search through one of the fields.

    3. Is it possible to make certain words in the HELP TEXT, bold?

    4. Right now I have default sort, sorting by DATE UPDATE in DESCENDING. I also give users the ability to sort. The radio button defaults to DESCENDING on the sort menu. Is there any way to make it default on ASCENDING?

    Thanks a bunch!

    Actually for number 1, I can just read through another post to get what I need: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/masking-links

    OK, to set up the search with only a single field to search on, you need to create a custom template. Use the “pdb-list-detailed.php” template as your starting point, and follow the instructions for setting up your custom template:

    How to Create Custom Templates

    You will be replacing the $this->column_selector( false, true, false, 'column' ); with a hidden field:

    <input type="hidden" name="search_field" value="fieldname" />

    Replace “fieldname” with the name of the field you want them to search on.

    For the helptext, you can use “strong” tags to make parts of the text bold.

    The default list sort is set in the settings under the “List Display” tab.
