I just purchased toolset and I need help getting the ball rolling.
I am trying to:
• Allow users to submit posts (users must create an account or login to submit motorcycles).
• Allow user to edit details or their submissions and remove their submissions.
• Submissions are only view-able publicly once reviewed by our admin team.
• Admins can reject submissions and request that users to review/edit/update the post they submitted.
• I want to use the Cornerstone Page Builder (hidden link) to create templates using Toolset shortcodes.
I can provide my credentials if needed.
Thanks,
Chuck
Dear Chuck,
I think it is possible within Toolset plugins.
I assume you are going to let your user manage their posts in wordpress front-end, you can try these:
Q1) Allow users to submit posts (users must create an account or login to submit motorcycles).
1) You can create a custom post type "motorcycles" with Types plugin:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/create-a-custom-post-type/
2) create a CRED form for user to create new "motorcycles" posts
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-cred-forms/
3) Limit the access to the CRED form to logged-in user only
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-cred-forms/
Q2) Allow user to edit details or their submissions and remove their submissions.
1) You can create a view to list "motorcycles" posts, filter by post's author is current user:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-author/
2) In the view's loop output section, display CRED form links for user to edit the post and delete the post:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/displaying-cred-editing-forms/
Q3) Submissions are only view-able publicly once reviewed by our admin team.
In Q1) step 2), you can setup the posts status as "Pending Review" after user submit the CRED form. Then the new post will not be view-able publicly.
Q4) Admins can reject submissions and request that users to review/edit/update the post they submitted.
Admin user can manage the new "Pending Review" posts in wordpress admin side, if the post is passed, then update the post status as "Published"
Q5) I want to use the Cornerstone Page Builder (hidden link) to create templates using Toolset shortcodes.
You can use any page builder you want to design the posts/page, and feedback if there is any compatibility problem. And there is Layouts plugin within Toolset family, you can use it to design the posts/page in admin side or in front-end, and it is full compatible with other Toolset plugins, see our document:

Luo,
Thank you for the quick reply. I requested a video call to nail down some open questions. I am hoping to nail down the framework within the 30 day trial period and worry about the CSS down the road.
Thanks,
Chuck
Having trouble creating a template and I need the post name to be created from 3 fields (year/make/model).
When I create a template and view a post it displays a blank page, no header or footer.
Q1) When I create a template and view a post it displays a blank page, no header or footer.
It seems to be a compatibility problem, please create a new thread for it, and describe detail steps to duplicate same problem, this will help other users to find the answer.
Q2) I requested a video call to nail down some open questions.
The video call isn't available currently, I suggest you create new thread for each question, this will help us to locate the problem.
Thanks Luo.
Here's what I'm stuck on:
The site is in its early stages: hidden link
1. Need custom post fields to become post titles once users submit them. This is a site where users can submit motorcycles, so the year/make/model needs to become the post title.
2. Does Access give each user an account to view, manage, edit, delete posts?
3. Is it possible to have user submitted posts expire, unless the user "refreshes" them?
4. I need a solution to ad a contact box to each user submitted post that connects to their email so they can receive inquires. Is it possible to add a CF7 form the is linked to the post that would be edited/deleted if the user edits their email or their submitted post is deleted?
5. I need a slider solution for user submitted image, similar to this image: hidden link
Right now users submit a featured photo, then have the option to add additional images. I need the slider to show the featured image first, then any images the user decides to upload.
Thanks again,
Chuck
Q1) Need custom post fields to become post titles once users submit them. This is a site where users can submit motorcycles, so the year/make/model needs to become the post title.
There isn't such a built-in feature, if you are using CRED form to create the post, then you can try with CRED action hook "cred_save_data" to trigger a custom PHP function, in this function update the post title to what you want, see similar thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/save-date-as-post-title/
More help:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
Q2) Does Access give each user an account to view, manage, edit, delete posts?
You can setup the specific user as the post author, then you will be able to setup the privileges:
Edit own – create new content and edit content that each user has created
Delete own – delete the content that each user has created
See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/setting-access-control/
The privileges that you can select are:
...
Q3) Yes, there is a built-in feature within CRED form:
Automatic post expiration in CRED forms
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automatic-post-expiration/
Q4) I need a solution to ad a contact box to each user submitted post that connects to their email so they can receive inquires
You can send the email notification with CRED form, when the post s are created/changed/deleted, see our document:
Automated Email Notifications With CRED
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/automated-email-notifications-with-cred/
Q5) I need a slider solution for user submitted image...
Yes, it is possible within Types + Views + other custom sliders framework, for example this thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/slider-from-multiple-image-types-field/
As I mentioned above, please create new thread for new questions, this will help other users to find the answers.
Thanks Luo. I'll open individual threads as needed and mark this as resovled.
Best,
Chuck
Now I have another problem. The featured image field has climbed below the title status radio options. Not sure why? It should be in it's own row with additional images.
Screenshot attached.
Thanks,
Chuck
