First, make sure that you’ve created a “My Account” page<\/a>. To this page, we’ll add a list of “my content”, with links to edit and delete items belonging to the logged-in user.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
“My Account” page that lists the items of the currently logged-in user<\/figcaption><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There are three main steps to follow to add such list to a “My Account” page:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Create a View<\/a> that lists the items of the currently logged-in user.<\/li>
  2. Create a Toolset form for editing these items<\/strong>.<\/li>
  3. Add the links to edit<\/strong> and delete<\/strong> items, to the View.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Create a View that lists the item of the currently logged-in user<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Start by creating a simple View<\/a>. Then, use the Query Filter<\/strong> to select only the posts created by the currently logged-in user.<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

    1. Edit the “My Account” page and insert the View <\/strong>block.<\/li>
    2. Create a new View, select the type of content you want to list, and design its output.<\/li>
    3. Click to select the main View <\/strong>block and in the right sidebar, expand the Content Selection<\/strong> section. and Query Filter<\/strong> section.<\/li>

    5. In the dialog that appears, select to filter by Post author<\/strong> and click Add query filter<\/strong>.<\/li>
    6. In the right sidebar, make sure that the Post author is the same as the logged in user <\/strong>option is selected and click Save<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Create a Toolset form for editing the items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Now, you need to create a Toolset form and a template for editing the items users can submit. You’ll create the form outside of the “My Account” page via the Toolset<\/strong> \u2192 Post Forms<\/strong> menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      For detailed steps, check out the lesson about front-end forms for editing content<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Add the links to edit and delete items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      Finally, you can edit the View you created in the first step and add links to edit or delete the items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Steps for adding a link to edit listed posts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Insert the Fields and text <\/strong>block.<\/li>
      2. Click the Add Form <\/strong>button and then click the Edit post link<\/strong>.<\/li>
