Integrating formidable submitted forms with another WP-Client plugin

All Topics → → Integrating formidable submitted forms with another WP-Client plugin

Hi -

I’m tasked with creating a simple back end client portal for our customers.  I have put out just one form right now – a report request form on our WP site.  I need to see how I can take the RESULTS of those submitted forms, make them hyperlinks and just display the Title of the Report Request within each of my customer’s private site and then if they click on it – they can edit it or modify it.  I’m not having any luck finding the shortcode to show the submitted form.  Do I use the “Entry Key”?  Form ID just pulls the empty form.

I don’t think the WP-Plugin is causing any issues as I can have it display the empty form ready for entry.

I just want a row by row list of the entries they’ve done. I’d love to automate this – but for now I’m content to create the links on their private pages within the plugin manually.

Thanks,

 

It sounds like you will need to create a custom display.

I've already watched the video on that and with the example of using a custom form for posts - that just messes with my head.  Doesn't WP already allow posts w/o anything custom??  Anyway - I guess I need to use the detaillink within the HTML to show what I need - but I guess I'm stuck at step 1 - what identifies the form entry?  I've got 8 form entries now that I can reference and some are for this new client and others aren't.  I pull up the form - view it - etc and all I've seen is "Entry Key - 5vuzvz".

Can you provide me with a sample shortcode that will do that?  Custom views is a bit out of my league.  I'm not a programmer or developer.....

 

To use the detaillink, you first need to make sure your custom display is set as a dynamic/both custom display. The option for this is towards the top of the custom display page.

Then you can add the detail link shortcode in your "content" section of your custom display. To do that, you need to wrap it in an HTML link so it looks like: <a href="[detaillink]">see more details<</a>

Also, You will want to add stuff to your "dynamic" section of your custom display--this is what people will see when they click on the detail link.
