Edit Record Link to the Frontend List – Tutorial

  • Downloaded your plug-in yesterday. I sure it will work for our group.

    I have a few members added and followed the tutorial “Adding an Edit Record Link to the Frontend List” I have gone over the code a couple of times and not seeing any errors that I can recognize. The list displays fine and the edit-link button is fine and works.
    When I click the edit button the page changes to the edit page (short code [pdb_record]) with the url string “edit-qb-member/?pdb=1”, but I get a No record was found message.

    If I change the string to “display-qb-member/?pdb=1” the display record page shows with data. The record was found.

    Thanks for your help
    Glenn

    You’re not getting the right URL for your record edit link. The URL should have the private ID code, it will look something like: ?pid=WKE45

    Also make sure the “Participant Record Page” is properly configured, under the “Record Form Settings” tab in the plugin settings.

    Thanks .. I recheck again. Still no joy.
    This is the code I added to my custom template file.

    ”
    <?php
    /*
    * The Edit link URL here.
    */
    if ($this->field->name == ‘edit_link’) {
    $this->field->link = $record->get_edit_link();
    }
    $this->field->print_value();
    ?>

    ”

    Do I need to use a different function than get_edit_link() ?
    I can manually add “edit-qb-member/?pid=BWXM3” and it works.
    My edit button from the list has the url as edit-qb-member/?pdb=2

    How do I change that?

    To confirm I have the following settings
    Record Form Settings – Participant Record Page = Edit QB Member
    this page has the short code = [pdb_record]

    List Display Settings – Single Record Link Field = Edit (edit_link)
    Single Record Page = Edit QB Member (as Above)

    Thanks again

    Is this problem still in the que? Should I resend this a different way?

    Thanks

    The “single record link field” should be a different one than the one you’re trying to put the edit link on.

    I’m sorry I don’t understand. Are you saying that this code is wrong.

    ”
    <?php
    /*
    * The Edit link URL here.
    */
    if ($this->field->name == ‘edit_link’) {
    $this->field->link = $record->get_edit_link();
    }
    $this->field->print_value();
    ?>

    ”

    I should use a different field like “first_name” other than the field I created by way of the tutorial example.

    Sorry just don’t understand your statement “The “single record link field” should be a different one than the one you’re trying to put the edit link on.”

    Thanks

    The “single record link field” is a plugin setting under the “list” tab. Make sure that is not the same field as you’re trying to put the edit link on.
