Users inserting datasets

  • I want my subscribers to be able to insert and edit data sets. I have inserted the data set form in a post using the short code: [dataset_form project_id=1]
    The form is displaying well in the frontend. However once I click on Add Dataset, it is taking me back to backend. This will be problem for my users who are subscribers only and do not have access to the admin panel.

    What do i need to change so that these users will be able to use the form to upload data?

    I worked on this issue and it should work in the latest version

    I did some more work in this direction in the latest release. Dataset insertion works well from the frontend. You can allow any user to add datasets (without registration), but then editing will not be possible by them. This could be used for example as testimonial system.

    If you want registered subscribers to add datasets there are some steps you have to follow.

    You can allow simple subscribers to insert one single dataset by putting the form shortcode into a page and set the visibility to private. This will only show the page to looged in users. Any user with capability ‘projectmanager_user’ (by default assigned to subscribers) can insert one dataset per project. In order to allow dataset editing by your subscribers you need to activate the option to hook the project into the profile. Then users can edit their dataset through their profile page.

    If you want users to add and edit more than one dataset they will need at least the following capabilities

    * view_projects to browse the list of datasets in the admin panel
    * edit_datasets in order to add a dataset from the admin panel and edit their own dataset
    * add_multiple_datasets to allow users add more than one dataset
    * edit_other_datasets to allow users edit datasets others created

    I hope this was somewhat clear.

    I just found out that users also need the ability “read_private_posts” to see private posts or “read_private_pages” to see private pages.
