re: The docs are a bit sparse so after install, ended up here in the forums.
Yeah, there’s really nothing to configure and it does it’s thing in the back ground.
re: This extension is really not very helpful – for two reasons.
Yes, for your use case.
re: Is there any possibility of this changing in the near future?
In short, yes. Link 2.0, if Form 2.0 is installed will allow front-end editing. I just released Form 2.0 on Friday. This week, I plan on updating all the documentation for Form. Then afterwards, release Link 2.0 and then update it’s documentation – there’s actually a little more to explain in setting up especially with the Form integration. Actually the setup is very simple, there’s just one item that can be confusing if not explained thoroughly. With From installed a user could still submit entries, which are not linked to them while also allowing them to add/edit an entry which is. Basically the setup is to turn off the “Submit New Entry” action in Form. Link will add its own add/edit entry link.
If you want, I can email you an advanced copy of Link. It is feature complete and only small tweaks are expected.
Oh, w/ Form 2.0, no dedicated page is required and no shortcode is needed. The shortcode will still work. I left it in only for backward compatibility. Form will now have it own “virtual” page.
