[Plugin: Contact Form 7 to Database Extension] Summary record link to detail page

  • I have just started looking at this plug-in and am very impressed at the capabilities and a little overwhelmed at the same time.

    I have a lengthy application form that will be submitted to the database. Is it possible to have a page that lists a summary of the applications with each having a link to a page that would display the full details for that one particular application?

    I can see that listing all the applications can easily be done via the shortcodes, displaying just the name, submit date and other identifying fields. It is creating a link to a page that would show all the fields for the selected application that has me stumped.

    Many Thanks

    The approach I would take is to use the cfdb-html short code on one page to show a summary, and with each entry output a link to another page in which you pass a URL parameter for submit_time (composed in the cfdb-html template using ${submit_time})

    On the second page, you put another cfdb-html short code but get filter input from the URL like filter=”submit_time=$_GET(submit_time)” (see this page)
