[Resolved] Front End Admin Edit User Forms

Tell us what you are trying to do? Allow Administrators/Staff to manage customers (User meta) via the front end. What we need is a list of registered users and the ability for staff to edit the user accounts on the front end for customers. For example, I have a list of users. I can click edit on one of them and then the cred form page for that specific user shows.

Is there any documentation that you are following? Have been looking but can not find much on this requirement

Is there a similar example that we can see? Not that I can find.

Hi Paul

I just set this up quickly on a local test site to double-check the steps required, and... it doesn't seem to work.

I created an edit user form, inserted it into a content template to act as a container, created a View to list users, and in the output section inserted an Edit user link.

The links are generated correctly when visiting the front-end, but then clicking the links loads up an empty page without the form.

Looks like we have a problem here.

I'm consulting with my colleagues, just to make sure I'm doing it right (as documented here: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/).

Hi Paul

The documentation has an important omission (I've asked for an update).

I'd forgotten that you need Access to be able to edit other user profiles than your own.

So,

- create an Edit User Form
- insert it into a Content Template to act as a container
- create a View to list users
- in the output section use the Toolset Forms button to insert an edit user link
- add this View to a page
- go to Toolset > Access Control > Forms and set the rights for who can use the form

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
