Use [pdb-single] rather than [pdb-record] in email link

    Amazing amazing plugin. One thing that we’ve come up against and maybe there’s a solution for it.

    I’ve created a pretty intricate style print style sheet for when someone clicks on a single record from the list records display. I have a link sent to people who fill out the form but that link goes to the page using [pdb-record] shortcode. The page looks somewhat different and I can’t figure out how to make it display like the [pdb-single] page does.

    Is there a way to have a link that is sent to the form submitter email that could point to the single view rather than the record view?

    Thanks!

    To send your users a link to their single record page, you need to construct the link…so what it will look like depends on what your link to the single page looks like.

    As an example, you’d put something like this in your outgoing email template:

    <a href="https://yoursite.com/single-record/?pdb=[id]">Click here for your record</a>

    The [id] tag will be replaced by the id of the record, and so will bring up their record on the single record page.

    Thanks for your answer. If I construct the link similar to how you have it, is the Id a dynamic value, meaning, will the system add the ID to that part of the string in the email or would I have to hardcode it?

    If it’s hardcoding it, I’m afraid that’s not going to work for me because I was hoping for something dynamic like the [record-link] in the email.

    Thanks again!

    Did you try it?

    The [id] tag works like all the other tags in the outgoing email: it substitutes the value from that particular record.

    No, I was just waiting on your clarification. I thought it would work dynamically as such but wanted to make sure. The site is live and I didn’t want to tinker around with the form until I knew the answer.

    So……. THANKS VERY MUCH!!!!!!

    Just another reason why your plugin rocks!

    Sorry if this is an inappropriate to post my problem. But i feel it is related
    I have done the following
    1. a Register Page where I am using [pdb_signup] short code
    2. A Formprint page with [pdb-single]
    3. Under Partcipant Database Settings/Signup Form/Sign Up Thanks message I have put the link
    href=”https://mydomain.org/?page_id=196/?pdb=%5Bid%5D”>Click here for your record JUST AS SPECIFIED IN THE ABOVE QUERY BY MR rwiki
    Page_id 196 is the FORMPRINT PAGE

    4. When I use the submit in Register Page, it hows the Click here for your record link When this is pressed, it goes to the formprint page. But it shows the short code [pdb-single] as is.

    5. I have also set the ListDisplaySetting/Single Record Page to FormPrint

    My Goal: If I can show the formPrint then I can use a print2pdf plugin to print the form filled under register page.
    Can you please help

    Some more information:
    when clicking the link following is shown on the address bar of Safari
    https://mydomain.org/formprint/?pdb=6

    Note: I changed the permalink to show post name now.
    Still the same problem. the pdb=6 is correct
    Ok some more info:
    The email which is sent after the submission is as follows

    https://mydomain.org/?page_id=121&pid=KFDEN.
    here the page_id=121 is the register page. PID is the private id?

    Please forgive me for posting in resolved topic
