Change display format of form content

    I have created a Form for people to input their personal information into so people can see their resume and contact info. I’m wanting each person to see their own content in the form format so they can edit their own profile (which is working fine)

    Here is what I’m also wanting to do though: For people other than the one who created their own profile (i.e. organizations looking to hire them), I’m not wanting it to look like a form, but rather, display the content in a list format and without it appearing in a form. For example, for the link above, it would appear in form format for the user, but something like this for everyone else:

    • Experience Required
    • Education Required
    • Musical Style (Traditional, Contemporary, Blended, etc.)
    • Musical Setup/Instrumentation (Individual, Band, Praise Team, Orchestra, Choir, Tech Team, etc.)
    • Date Posted

    How do I go about doing this?

    Hello @mm7916mm7916

    Unfortunately, this functionality does not exist in our plugin at this time and customizations are not included in our support.

    Regards.

    @mm7916mm7916

    You can use two Role specific Profile forms.

    Form 1 with all fields required for the User Profile and assigned
    to your User role ie your current Profile form.

    Form 2 with one large UM textarea where you type your headings etc
    and the Profile field text is displayed by using the
    UM “User Meta Shortcode” plugin as many times as required for all fields.

    This Profile form is assigned to another viewer only Role.

    On the WP Profile page you enter both Profile form shortcodes
    and UM will select form depending on which User Role is the viewer.

    An issue might be the WP classic editor for the textarea
    if you use HTML form field settings and the editor will
    update double quotes and insert extra HTML when saving
    which makes the shortcode plugin to fail in displaying content.

    @mm7916mm7916

    An UM shortcode field should work also but without the WP Classic editor functions.
    There are external HTML editors you can use in this case.

    Edit:
    For the textarea case the text must be saved per User in a meta field,
    the second shortcode field solution seems to be the best
    where the text and all shortcodes are saved with the Form.

    You can try the “Format Form Content shortcode” plugin
    with a lot of documentation in the “readme” file for your issue
    about a custom HTML User Profile page for viewing only without Form fields.

    Thanks Miss Veronica for all the details!

    I have followed all of the details (I think!) but not 100% sure. Should my profile page now look like this?

    [ultimatemember form_id=”63833″] <–Original Form

    [ultimatemember form_id=”64593″] <-New Text-only Forl

    [format_form_content]formatted.html[/format_form_content]

    Remove shortcode
    [format_form_content]formatted.html[/format_form_content]
    from your Profile page

    The shortcode should only be added to an UM Form shortcode field in the Text-only Form

    @mm7916mm7916

    I will release an updated version of the plugin later today
    with better support for defining which Role is the Viewer
    and which Form is the Viewer’s formatted Profile page.

    Until then you can remove any Profile form Role dependent assignments.

    Plugin version 1.2.0 is ready for download now

    This version updates:

    1. Replace current UM shortcodes at the Profile page with [select_um_shortcode]
    which will activate the UM shortcode depending on the current User viewing the Profile.

    2. Addition of Profile settings for the Forms to activate and the Role for the View only User.

    3. Addition of the Remove Profile photo function (old code snippet should be removed)

    Please be patient with me here….

    I created a new Profile View Form, entitled: Select Churches Hiring – Profile (Display only – no Form!) Churches Hiring – Profile (Display only – no Form!)

    I downloaded the 1.2 Version of the plugin and removed the shortcode from my Profile Page.

    Now I’m getting an error code on the main page of my site…

    Thoughts?

    I think the error code is now fixed. I’ll continue to try and move forward with this.

    It looks like there may be a conflict with this plugin – I am receiving this error message…

    Ultimately, my hope is that while a person’s own profile (Job Candidate to themselves) shows like this:

    View post on imgur.com

    When other people (churches looking to hire) go to view this same person’s profile (this Job Candidate), it looks more like this:

    View post on imgur.com

    Is there an easier, more effective, and less conflicting way to do this? I’m really hoping to get this in place soon, if at all possible… Thanks for all your help so far!

    You can download version 1.2.1 fixing the issue with line 83.

    (@mm7916mm7916)

    Ok – I’ll give that a try. Will version 1.2.1 ultimately display in a format similar to this?

    Also, in UM, how do I display the answers to the “Right” of the Label instead of “Below” the Label?
