    Hi!

    I am looking for a form plugin which enables me to not only submit a form but also to be able to display the submisions to a select few people and to be able to edit the submissions.
    More concreatly we need a form where people can request us to collect flees for our flee market. Our team must then be able to view the submisions and to set a collected status on the submission.
    Is it possible to do this with html-forms?

    May be I can use other plugins to display and edit?

  • Hi,

    You can see the submissions in WordPress, but you can not edit them. The only “status” you can change is moving them to the trash.

    Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let us know!

    I could use the wpdb class to display the submissions?
    Tip on how to extract the values from the string array?
    I could use a hidden form field to create a status field?
    Editing/changing this statusfield seem to be the tricky part.
    If only the submissions where submitted to ordinary table columns instead of into a one column string array then I could quickly use a tool to create a stand alone PHP application for editing. Probably a stupid question but why does all the WordPress plugins use such string arrays instead of inserting into a proper table?
    I guess I could also make a custom WordPress PHP page for editing the hidden status field but being a newbi in PHP programming I think this would take a lot of time for me.
    To me it looks like the quickest solution for me is to use this tool I have to create a stand alone PHP edit app with custom code to extract the values from the string array and save them back as a string array if the allows me to.
    Other suggestions?
    For your information I have found another form plugin where they have also made a tag which enables displaying the submission but this plugin has other drawbacks and I still have to make code for editing the status value so I would like to use hf.
