Using submit_time to get single details record

    Hi,
    I am using CFDB version 2.8.23 and hope you can help me achieve the following.
    I have created a listings page and want users to be able to click on a link to view the full details of that listing. I have followed the instructions given on several forum entries explaining the use of the “submit_time” filter, but to no avail – I get all records showing on the ‘Details’ page, not the ‘single’ record view.
    After several attempts I’m not sure if I have the ‘href’ link from the ‘Listings’ page wrong (the syntax differs on the forums) or the “submit_time” filter on the ‘Details’ page wrong (or both!)
    On the ‘Listings’ page I have “submit_time” set to ‘show’:
    [cfdb-html form="Sign Up"show="Country,City,AccommodationType,AvailableFrom,AvailableTo:,Event,Interests,MainImage,submit_time" filelinks="url"]
    Currently the ‘href’ link is:
    <a href="https://freestayexchange.com/?p=333&id=submit_time">View Details</a>
    Is this correct?
    On the ‘Details’ page I have the following:
    [cfdb-html form="Sign Up"show="Country,CountyStateRegion,City,AccommodationType,Sleeps,SuitableforChildren,PropertyDescription,AvailableFrom,AvailableTo:,Event,Interests,ExchangeDetails,IdealExchange,MainImage,Image1,Image2,Image3,Image4,Image5" filelinks="url" "filter="submit_time=$_GET(id)"]
    Is this where the “filter” expression should go? Is the syntax correct?

    (Site still in test mode so Details view not pretty!)
    I really would appreciate any pointers and thank you for a wonderful plugin.

    In the content/template of the first short code you should put in submit_time like this:

    <a href="https://freestayexchange.com/?p=333&id=${submit_time}">View Details</a>

    and you need a space before “show” and the end quote preceding it.

    Second short code has an extra ” before filter.

    Use the short code builder page to build the short code to avoid this little syntax errors.

    Michael,
    Thank you so much for your lightening response – it works like a dream!
    I’ll be sure to double check for any syntax errors in the future (I ended up changing some of the syntax by hand when I couldn’t get the correct code by using the generator).
    Off to work on Search form now!
    Thank you – resolved!
