[pdb_single] Shortcode

    The more I use the Participants Database the more I realise how powerful and how good it is.

    I have used the [pdb_list search=true sort=true] to show my list on the frontend. On your Participants Database Plugin Demo Page you show an example where I can click on VIEW DETAILS and it shows an individual record using the [pdb_single] shortcode. I just cannot figure out where to put this shortcode. Can you help please.

    Many Thanks…

    I have put the shortcode on a separate [pdb_single] and I know that say record number 6 can be called by https://u3aswansea.co.uk/single-member/?pdb=6

    What I can’t work out is how I link the pages or call the individual page from [pdb_list]

    Thanks

    A Little Success

    In my participant Info Fields I have created a new field called Record. I have set this field to a ‘Link Field’ with the value of ‘View Record’.

    In the Participants Database – List Participants I have clicked on the edit symbol for one of the records.

    In the record option I have put in the URL of https://u3aswansea.co.uk/single-member/?pdb=6 / in the Link Test I have entered ‘View Record’

    When I look at the table at the front end (The page with [pdb_list]) I see the value ‘View Record’ in one of my rows. When I click on this it does go to the individual record.

    Is this how its meant to work.

    If so does that mean I have to enter the URL into every record where ?pdb=ID Number

    If that is the way then it will be a huge task.

    I just hope that there is a quicker way

    This feature is already built into the plugin, no need to go to all that trouble. Under the “List Settings” tab in the plugin settings is a setting for the “single record link field” where you can designate a field that will link to the single record.

    Take a look at the documentation here for some details.
