Support,

I want to add text to a View on my website using a form and have it display alphabetically the View, but not have the text be submitted as a post. As follows:

Form fields:
Category: drop down menu
URL: text field
Text: text field
Icon: drop down menu

View text display:
<h2>hidden link" rel="nofollow" target="”_blank”"><img src="hidden link">TextTextText</h2>

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I'm not quite sure I understand the issue. Is it that you want to add a view to your form ? Are you using the view to perform a search in the form ?

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Shane

In the past I've used forms to submit new posts. I'm wondering if it's possible to use forms to upload text/links to the frontend of my website displayed within a View. No post needed.

Website: hidden link

Each accordion will display a View for the category it represents. Within the View will be links to external links . I plan to upload 500+ links and I think form submission would be the easiest way instead of editing code on the backend.

Hi Charles,

Unfortunately no this won't be possible as the purpose of the Forms plugin is to create posts on the frontend so users won't need to log into the site to create posts.

So each time a form is submitted, a post will be created.

Thanks,
Shane
