Topic Tag: Toolset Forms

Problem: I would like to display an edit post Form in a custom Page, not a Content Template. I would like to create a custom Edit Post link to this Page so that the correct post is edited in the edit post Form.

Solution: It is possible with some limitations. You can create your own edit post page and style it however you want with headers and footers. Next, create a View of this specific post type. Add a post ID filter, set by a URL parameter.

Now place your edit post Form in the loop of the View, and place the View in your edit post page. Now you can create a custom edit post link in a View of posts using the post ID and post title shortcodes, like this:

<a href="/your-edit-post-page/?post_ids=[wpv-post-id]">Edit [wpv-post-title]</a>

A few limitations here:
- The View must not have filters or pagination
- The View must not use AJAX
- The Form must not use AJAX
- The built-in "edit post link" cannot be used here, only a custom link like the one shown above.

Problem: I have a Form the creates posts. There is a required checkbox in the Form. If I check the checkbox, the Form still does not submit. It shows me an error that the checkbox field is required.

Solution: The checkbox field must have some value here. Edit the field shortcode or block element and make sure some value is set for the checkbox. In this case, I set it to be 1, and the Form submits successfully.
