Add Additional New "Participant" Page Requires Refresh?

    I’m really sorry to be such a bother … you’ll probably be happy to know I’m almost done. ??

    I am trying to send users from the Signup page to the Edit page, which mostly works but … If the page Signup Thanks Page contains the shortcode [pdb_signup_thanks], then it won’t successfully display the form for [pdb_record]. If the shortcode [pdb_record] is displayed, then trying to add another participant loops back to the [pdb_signup_thanks] message and requires a refresh to add another participant.

    So I think my question is: Is there an easy way to ‘turn off’ the thank you message/page requirement?

    Have you looked into multiple-page signup forms? Would that solve your problem?

    Hi, again, xnau!

    I appreciate that suggestion; I did look at using multi-page forms.

    The team I’m working with is a Type-A “gotta keep moving” sort of group, so I wanted them to have the option to input as little as possible now and click ‘save’ to rush off to see a client (or whatever) OR input everything now.

    Using a multiple-page signup form felt too much like they were being forced to move through all pages before being able to save.

    My compromise was to use Tabby Responsive Tabs (highly recommend!) to offer all Groups at one time, while not actually displaying all Groups on screen. So the save button appears on each “tab,” and the user can save at any point after the required fields are completed on the first “tab” and walk away.

    The “thank you” page still displays and the Edit Record page isn’t immediately available, but I think it gives the team a sense of control over the process. The “thank you” page has buttons to Add Another and Return to List.

    The feedback has been positive, and I really like the page display this way.

    Thank you for the suggestion!

    Oh, and in case anyone is wondering, the code is super simple:

    [tabby title="titlehere"]

[pdb_signup template=custom groups="groupname1"]

[tabby title="anothertitlehere"]

[pdb_signup template=custom groups="groupname2"]

[tabby title="thirdtitlehere"]

[pdb_signup template=custom groups="groupname3"]

[tabbyending]

    Repeat for as many Tabs and Groups required.

    My [pdb_signup] uses a custom template only because I modified how the Group title appears; otherwise, it’s default code. And then there’s my custom CSS for both the Tabby plugin and Participants Database plugin. Otherwise, this page display can be set up in just a few minutes.

    I’m using the same layout for [pdb_single] and [pdb_record].

    This is a great suggestion, thanks!
