[Resolved] How to build Web Apps using CRED?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: How can I use CRED to build Web Apps?

Solution: You will find links to training guides, references and tutorials in our User Guides that discuss what you can accomplish with CRED. More advanced topics are covered in our API documentation. You can use the API to accomplish many things in CRED that you are not able to accomplish through the wp-admin area directly. These advanced features require custom code and PHP.

How you build a Web App with those CRED forms and the content they generate really depends on what your Web App is designed to do. If there is a specific part of the process you are having trouble with, feel free to create individual tickets where we can address specific questions.

Hi,

In the main page or CRED, part number 3, there is a link saying:
Building web apps with CRED hooks
https://toolset.com/home/cred/
However, this link is broken
It is just a hook to the same page, ending with #.
I searched the documentation for this topic, but could not find it.
Can you please direct me to where it is explained how to build Web Apps using CRED?

I searched the API hooks page too, but this topic is not covered.

Thanks

Hi, I have reported this dead link to our documentation team so they can fix the URL problem. I apologize for the inconvenience here. I believe this link should point to our CRED User Guides:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/#cred-topics

You will find links to training guides, references and tutorials here that discuss what you can accomplish with CRED. The API page you mentioned, https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/, covers more advanced topics. You can use the API to accomplish many things in CRED that you are not able to accomplish through the wp-admin area directly. These advanced features require custom code and PHP.

CRED features like creating and editing content are described in the User Guides links I mentioned. How you build a Web App with those forms and the content they generate really depends on what your Web App is designed to do. If there is a specific part of the process you are having trouble with, I'll be glad to help. Feel free to create individual tickets where we can address specific questions.

Hi Christian,

thanks for your comprehensive response. I was trying to see if I can build a web application in lieu of a mobile app using the Toolset types, and whether I can adjust my project to accomodate this.

I don't have specific requests yet, that's why I wanted to explore the available options in CRED so i can adjust my project to suit.
anyway, i will read more on the plugin and ask again if i got stuck

thanks
