No sign up, need a link to single record

Okay after some further searching I found that if I use the url https://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/booking-puglia-holiday-villas/?pdb=1 I get the correct data displayed. The page has only shortcode [pdb_single] in it.

But none of the data is editable. I tried https://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/booking-puglia-holiday-villas/?pdb=1&action=edit

but it didn’t make any difference.

So now I just need to know how to display only one record on the front end and for it to be editable.

Ciao, Debbie

Sorry I should have said I just need to know how to make the single record editable on the front end.

One step forward – two steps backwards

https://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/booking-puglia-holiday-villas/?pdb=1 displays the data for my first booking in the database. Shortcode [pdb_single] works fine.

https://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/edit-your-booking/?pdb=1 does not find any data. It returns “No record was found”. The shortcode [pdb_record] is being used. In settings – Record Form Settings, the Participant Record is set to the “Edit your booking page”.

Clearly I am missing something but for the life of me I cannot see what.

Please can you help me, Ciao, Debbie

A link to an editable record uses a code for the record ID so it can only be opened by someone with the correct URL. In the plugin admin, on the “List Participants” page, you can see these urls if you have the “private id” field showing in your columns. Here’s how to set that up:

First, make sure the page is configured: put the [pdb_record] shrtocode on the page where you want the editable record shown. Go to the settings under the “record form” tab, and set the “participant record page” to the page with the [pdb_record] shortcode.

Next, go to the “mamage database fields” page and under the “internel” tab, you’ll see the private ID field. Mske sure the “admin column” value is set to a number to give it a column in the admin list.

Now, when you go to the list participants page in the admin, you’ll see the private id code as a link. Those links are what you need to give your people so they can edit the record.

I hope that helps you get things set up.

Hi, thankyou …. that works but the display is a bit off.

At the top two fields, URL and Link Text with text Website, and Blog or Social Media Link, are appearing on top of my required fields.

Great plug-in, thank you.

Resolved with a little help from my friends!

Added .link {position:relative !important} to theme style.css

and the fields went to their appropriate place.

Thanks for your help
