Tell us what you are trying to do? Trying to let an admin edit user forms (Cred)

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-edit-user-form-only-allowing-me-to-edit-my-own-profile/

Is there a similar example that we can see? See the above mentioned thread

What is the link to your site? hidden link

I am trying to follow the instructions Beda gave in the thread https://toolset.com/forums/topic/cred-edit-user-form-only-allowing-me-to-edit-my-own-profile/ but all the links are shown as 'hidden link' which makes it hard to follow the example.

I have managed to create a view that lists all users of a certain role, see hidden link
The main part of this view is the following code:

<a href='hidden link field="ID"]'>[wpv-user field="display_name"]</a>

The urls in the dropdown created by this view are like hidden link where the number at the end is the variable user-id, but all user-id's open a page with the same user, so the url parameter is not working.

The view to open the cred form has this code inside the loop: [cred_user_form form="bewerk-profiel-door-gebruiker" user="[wpv-user field='ID']"]

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Shane, I solved the issue.

It appeared that the view containing the edit user form was served from cache. I found the setting to turn the cache off when inserting the view in a page.

[wpv-view name="test-view" cached="off"]

Moreover I found out how to pass an url parameter to a user form. I will put the code below for other users to view, as I could not find this in the docs.

Inside the loop of the view that shows the edit user form:

 [cred_user_form form="edit-profile" user="[get_cred_urlparam]"]

The shortcode

[get_url_parameter]

is a custom function I put inside functions.php of the child theme. Here is the function:

add_shortcode( 'get_cred_urlparam', 'cred_field_urlparam');
function cred_field_urlparam($attr) {
     return $_GET['user_id'];    
}

Since I only needed the url parameter 'user_id' I could keep it this simple.
If you know a better way to add an url parameter to a cred user form, please let me know.
This works.

Erik
