Contact Form DB for site members / editing the DB from the site?

  • I am to make a site for a client where visitors can enter events that are then stored in a database (Name of the event, type, town, date, etc). From what I have seen, I will be able to do this with Contact Form 7 and this plugin.

    So far so good.

    Is it possible though for logged in users, so those who have a user accound on the website, to have access to the events in the DB that they previously generated, for example to be able to duplicate an event that is recurring?

    Or via another plugin that would work well hand in hand with this one?

    Several external sites are then to access the content of the DB to display the events on various sites. I hope this will be possible too.

    Many thanks.

    If you purchase the CFDB Editor, then you can set up a page that displays a table of entries filtered for the current user. (The user will have to have been logged in when he submitted the entry so that it knows it belongs to him). The person could then edit his entries in the cells of the table. It will be a table, not the original form layout.

    such a shortcode would look like this:
    [cfdb-datatable form="your-form-name" edit="cells" filter="Submitted Login=$user_login"]

    You should try that before you purchase to see if that will be OK. Then the purchase will just enable you to edit in the cells of the table.

    There is no way to duplicate an entry.

    To display on other sites, create an export URL in the CFDB Short Code builder page, then use that as the src of an IFRAME tag to show it on another site.
