I am trying to:

1.Create a Front End form that will be filled out by website members.
2. When a member come to the page - the form will be blank fields that they will fill in and submit.
3. Then - I want to display ONLY their form entries to them when they revisit this page.

Instead, I got: I have built the form, but am not sure how to do this.

Thank you.

This isn't possible as on each page reload fo course the Form has to be ready again to submit a new Post.
So it has to be empty.

Additionally, if a user submits the form twice (creates 2 Posts), what information you want then?
The first, the second, or any subsequent (last) post submitted?

As you see, this is logically impossible.

Maybe you can use the value="" attribute of the CRED Form Fields, that can be populated with some values that then will show in the Front End in the Form Fields.

But I am not sure that will help you, as that will not really be user dependent unless you store a user Field with the information and then call the user field in those attributes.

Maybe a Post Edit Form is all you need?

Or does each user on your Site provide only ONE post at all time?

Beda,

Thank you so much for your help.

"Or does each user on your Site provide only ONE post at all time?"
YES. This form will only be filled out once per member.

Basically - we want them to use this form - as an online notebook.
For this form - We want them to make a list of contacts they need to complete.
Once they fill out the form - they will not need to edit it.

Can I make a user profile update form - and only include these fields that I need?

Hi Beda - I wanted to give you an update.

I did create a new UPDATE USER FORM - just for this set of questions I want to record for the member.

This is good for me.

Thanks so much.
