[Resolved] CRED Edit link not appearing

[Author]

I have a page here:

hidden link

This page has a CRED link to a content template:

[toolset-edit-post-link content_template_slug="consultant-edit-content-template"]EDIT YOUR DETAILS[/toolset-edit-post-link]

The content template has the following code on it :

[cred_form form='consultant-edit-details' form_name='Consultant Edit Details']

Which is for a consultant edit form.

when logged in as a consultant (Or as any user role) Nothing appears on the above page.

Hi David,

This page seems to be password protected, could you let me know what's the password?

Thanks,

Hi David,

I see the issue.

You need to add the edit shortcode to the consultant page itself, that is because the form it generates will be to edit that post.

Try placing the shortcode on the content template for the consultants and it should start working.

Hi Shane,

But on this page no link is appearing:

hidden link

The shortcode

[toolset-edit-post-link content_template_slug="consultant-edit-content-template"]EDIT YOUR DETAILS[/toolset-edit-post-link]

should create a dynamic link to the logged in users post but its not. Thats my issue. I dont know why the CRED system is so hard to use whilst the rest of your plugins are easy to use.

I have followed the instructions here:

https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-cred-editing-forms/

But they dont work

Okay so I figured out I needed to put the first shortcode into a view and add the view to my page.

However I have put the second shortcode into the consultant template but the consultant details also display beneath. I only want the edit form to appear.

Hi David,

I understand what you are trying to do, its some kind of profile page correct? Are the logged in users the authors of their own profiles? meaning were they the ones that created it ?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

What I need is a page on which a user can edit their custom post (called consultant) The logged in users have previously created this post.

I have a link to the custom post content template which has the edit link on it but it also has the custom post display that other users can view. When being edited I dont want this to appear. Surely that must be the behaviour that everyone using CRED in this way would require.

Hi David,

So that means when a user visits this page they should only see the edit think for the profile they created.

This means that you will need to add a query filter to the view for the Post Author so that it only displays the link for the currently logged in user.

Please let me know if this help as I could be still misinterpreting the issue.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,

No thats not my issue. Nothing to do with links. When the user clicks through to their profile page to edit it (The link works fine) they are seeing both the content template display for that post as well as the edit link. How do I show only the edit section and not the post itself when they are on their post but in editing mode (ie the URL is different because they have come through to edit)

Hi David,

If you're referring to this section here. See Screenshot.

That is because you have the information for the shortcode in the content template that this form is using.

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

The image you have screenshotted is the part I dont want to appear when the page is in edit mode.

"That is because you have the information for the shortcode in the content template that this form is using." I dont understand what that means.

Hi David,

This is the code in the content template that is generating this section.

This I know. How do I hide this when a user is in edit mode?
