Add Edit Button and Make Field Editable by Vistor

    I need to add an edit button for visitors. They need to be able to edit only 1 field. Also I’d like to make the field either a drop down or an editable field. Also make the first 2 fields read only.

    For Example:
    ———————————–
    | Frist Name | Last Name | Yes/No | *Header*
    |————|———–|——————-|
    | John | Smith | Editable (Yes/No) | *Edit Button*
    |————|———–|——————-|
    | Adam | Smith | Drop-Down (Yes/No)| *Edit Button*

    Another example is here:
    https://www.datatables.net/blog/Inline_editing

    I need visitors to be able to edit the (Yes/No) column without creating an account.

    I’ve tried:

    <select>
    <option>Yes</option>
    <option>No</option>
    </select>

    The Drop down shows up but it doesn’t save.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    I’m sorry to disappoint you here, but editing tables on the frontend is simply not possible in TablePress at this time, neither with text fields nor with drop downs.
    The main reason for this is how table saving works right now, but there are also security implications involved.

    You might therefore want to look for a different solution with a form plugin maybe.

    Regards,

    Thanks Tobias,

    Do you have any suggestions of a form plugin and how to implemented what I stated above?

    Hi,

    no sorry ?? I don’t have experience with form plugins, unfortunately. You’ll need one that can write to a custom mySQL database table, as that would make things much easier for you, in terms of then getting the data.
