Thanks @xnau, appreciate your interest.

Resolved thanks

Thanks Roland,
I notice that you pushed out an update yesterday (1.7.9.3) which I installed but I’m still getting the same message in my dashboard i.e. that I’ll need to update my PHP to PHP 7.6.
Cheers

Please ignore, worked it out!
All I needed to do was include the search=”true” in the pdb_list statement on the Search Results page.
i.e. my full statement on the Search-Results page is:
[pdb_list fields=”resource_title, resource_notes, contact_details, issue, up” orderby=resource_title order=asc search=”true” search_fields=”resource_title, resource_notes”]
and this populates the Search fields with what was searched for.
My thanks

Thank you @xnau. Excellent support as ever.

Thank you so much for that @xnau. It worked just fine.

I changed the field name that I wanted to from ‘signup’ to ‘up’ (for my up arrow image) in line 122 of your code, set the Form element to HTML, the Value to my HTML code and the Validation to Required.

I tested by entering a new record which worked but it also auto populated all my older records with the same HTML code.

Excellent work. My thanks again.

Yep lance2j I too spent 3 or 4 days wondering why my new creations in the database were being truncated though, luckily I was moving from hard coded non-database elements to those used by Participants Database (PD) so I always had a copy of the content for each entry before finally committing to using the PD.

I’m sort of suggesting that, a) it’s a problem for more than one user and therefore might be useful to describe a workaround in the documentation (or maybe address this a fix) and, b) you and xnau webdesign have come up with workarounds so, although you might class this as a bug, there are ways to resolve the issue.

Your post led me to fix my own problem so my thanks to you for asking the Q!

lance2j thanks! Should this topic be marked as resolved now?

Firstly, fabulous plugin thanks very much for all your hard work.
Secondly, I had the same problem as lance2j and (can’t find the post just now) but found a post about going into phpmyadmin and manually changing the field types from tinytext to text which resolved my problem. Do you think it worth having a brief sentence about this in the plugins documentation?
My thanks,
Rog

Database entries are listed in alphabetical order and the same database entries are used in the ‘By Issue‘ link which sorts the entries into typical client issue categories.
