Creating and using front-end forms for editing content and users involves the following three steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Create the form for editing<\/li>
  2. Create a Content Template<\/a> for displaying the editing form<\/li>
  3. Insert link to the Content Template that displays the form<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s go over each of these steps one by one. On this page, we use an example of a form for editing content but the workflow is the same for forms that edit users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For forms that edit users, Toolset Access must be active and the role that uses the form must have permissions to edit other users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create the form for editing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Creating the form for editing is exactly the same as for the forms for adding content (or registering users).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Go to the Toolset <\/strong>\u2192 Post Forms <\/strong>page and click the Add New <\/strong>button at the top. Follow the wizard to create your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the third step, make sure to select that this form will Edit existing content<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

    Creating a form for editing content<\/figcaption><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Create a Content Template for displaying the editing form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Go to the Toolset <\/strong>\u2192 Content Templates <\/strong>page and click the Add New <\/strong>button at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In a dialog that appears, give a name to your template. Don\u2019t assign it to any content and click the Create Content Template <\/strong>button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On the Content Template editing page, insert the Toolset Form<\/strong> block and select the editing form you created in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    \"Inserting<\/a>
    Inserting the editing form into the Content Template<\/figcaption><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

    Besides the form itself, you can optionally add any text and other content to this Content Template. For example, you might add some editing guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Insert link to the Content Template that displays the form<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, in this last step, you need to insert links to the Content Template that displays the editing form. This is the Content Template you created in the previous step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are two places you can insert this link into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Content Templates for displaying single posts<\/li>
    2. Views that list items, like posts or users<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
