Hi, is it possible to display the post edit form on a page other than its own post? I see how to add a form edit link to the loop. but once clicked, it loads the post with the edit form in the content. I'd like the front end edit form, to be its own page.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - can you tell me where exactly you want to construct the post edit link? Is it within the views?

[laurencea]

Yes in the view list

[Minesh]

Can you please share the code you are using with the views?

Ok - what if you try to create the post edit link manually.

Try to follow the following steps:
- Create a new page and add Toolset Edit form to it as given under.
For example:

[cred_form form='your-form-slug' post='[wpv-search-term param='partner_id']']

- Now, within your view, try to link to the newly created page above as given under:

<a href="link-to-your-page/?partner_id="[wpv-post-id]> Edit </a>

Thanks, Minesh. with your example, I get message "Form type and post type do not match"

Page with edit post form
hidden link

Page with view
hidden link

Resulting Edit page
hidden link
"Form type and post type do not match"

Well - can you share access details so I can check whats going wrong.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Could you please check now.
=> hidden link

I've added the following code to Toolset's custom code section:

function func_display_partner_edit_form() {
   if(isset($_GET['partner_id'])){
     return do_shortcode("[cred_form form='edit-partner' post='".$_GET['partner_id']."']");
   }else{
     return "no edit post to display.";
   }
}
add_shortcode('display_partner_edit_form', 'func_display_partner_edit_form'); 

=> hidden link

And called the shortcode on the following page:
=> hidden link

[display_partner_edit_form]

[laurencea]

awesome. Thank you! I could do the same for displaying list of child posts on a separate page, yea?

[Minesh]

Yes - you just need to add the following link - adjust the page slug where you want to display the form:

<a href="link-to-your-page/?partner_id="[wpv-post-id]> Edit </a>

And you are done 🙂

[laurencea]

Yea did that. I mean, could you guide me on rendering this view on it's own page?

Right now, i just have everything on one page, hidden by user role.

If you switch to my user account with a Parter role (laurenceanthony1) and visit the above page, you'll see the Supporters tab.
I'd like for this to be on its own url too. ie. /view-supporters.
