Oh,forgot to add… saving an entry will auto-geocode addresses. You can also drop and drag the pin on the map to fine tune the geocode.

Ok, don’t ask me why, but the visibility option only shows the public option, not private or unlisted.

And the say what plugin has worked great with changing the text, but the form still shows biography and notes. Yet only notes get displayed. Is it possible to just completely by pass one of those?

I mean I’m creative to an extent. Changing the words was one thing. How do I explain the two boxes?

I found the shortcode option to remove the bio in the form.

The public/private had me sent for a loop. But I found it in the roles portions. I unchecked view private/unlisted because I didn’t want them seeing others private/unlisted entries. But that fixed that. :)

Ok, by setting the view private/unlisted the other options become available but they can still see others private/unlisted entries. ???? How can it work so they can private an entry for further editing later, but still not be able to view others?

Sorry, can’t be done. It is one or the other. That is why the options are hidden when they do not have permissions. Otherwise they would not be able to edit view their own entry.

So if someone wants to private a listing so no one can see it. They can private it, but other writers can view it like normal??

Doesn’t make sense, but I’m beyond that at this point.

@ They can private it, but other writers can view it like normal??

Yes, if the other writers can view private. So, what you want is private to everyone except the entry owner?

[Chris Cox]

Basically. The form is there to allow others to add entries, but also knocks out the point of private/unpublished options.

I see… since one of the primary purposes of Form is to take submissions from “anonymous” site visitors, the assumption is that is they are submitting the info that it is going to be public information. Anonymous site visitors are not, in general, going to supply private details or details not to be listed at all. That’s been my experience that last two years with supporting those using Form. What I should do, is not show the options at all. That was how Form 1.0 worked … I missed that in the massive upgrade that Form 2.0 is. I’ve added that to my issue tracker.
