• Hi,

    Is there currently any way to do the following:
    1. Display a list of form submissions for a user?
    2. Allow a user to edit a previous form submission?
    3. Allow a user to delete a previous form submission?

    If so, could you please guide me. If not, do you plan to introduce such functionality anytime soon?

    Thanks,
    rt.

    Hi!

    If you have entries turned on for your form they should automatically be assigned to the current signed in user. Advanced Forms doesn’t provide editing of submissions but I can give you some pointers on how to implement it.

    All entries are saved to a custom post type called af_entry. The author of the post is the user who submitted the form. If you want to display a list you could simply get a list of all af_entry whose author is the current user.

    Editing posts requires a bit of code but is totally doable. On the documentation page I have a guide for how to set up a form which creates new posts. I would recommend following that guide and pre-filling your form to implement editing functionality. Here is the guide: https://advancedforms.github.io/guides/advanced/setting-up-a-form-to-create-posts/

    I’m currently working on a pro version of AF which will make all of this easier. It will come with the built-in ability to build forms which can create and edit posts and users, all through a simple GUI. It’s not ready yet but if you want to stay up to date I would recommend subscribing to my newsletter. You can do it in the sidebar here.

    Hope I could help! ??

    Fabian,

    Thanks.

    I am not a developer, but it sounds like a competent WordPress/ACF developer could make your plugin do what I want.

    I am signed up to receive your newsletter – and already was before posting my question – but I’ve not received any yet. Out of interest, do you have any sense when you will release your Pro version? BTW I’d be happy to be a beta tester ?? if it is at that stage yet.

    Fabian,

    Any chance of an update re. the Pro version?

    Hi!

    I’ve unfortunately been busy with other obligations during the last few weeks and AF hasn’t gotten much attention. Thinks are starting to clear up and I’m eager to get back to work. Hope I’ll have something to show you soon!

    Noted, thanks.

    Fabian,

    I hope all is well.

    I saw you mention in a post a couple of weeks ago that the Pro version will soon be released. How soon is soon?

    Thanks,
    rt.
