ParticipantSorry for the many questions but I really want to build the best directories I can.
- Do you also have a plugin that will make it possible to have a preview on the home page. Preferably with changing entries being rotated and highlighted.
2.I tried to make a custom entry form but somehow it did not save the custom fields I created. Did I do something wrong or is that not possible.
- Would using the form extension solve that problem? Would that be a custom entry form online or something I can send to members and they send it back to me and I fill it in online?
Thank you for your time,
Sincerely,
Mieke Haveman

Sorry, no, not really. The closest solution I have to this would be the List widget included in the Widget Pack.

How did you create the custom form?

Sorry, but I’m not fully understanding the question. Could you please provide more detail.

ParticipantTo clarify
I tried making a form under adding an entry but did not see a save button. The next time I opened adding an entry the custom fields were gone.
I am making directories for therapists and I would like for them to be able to add their own entry. So I thought a form would make that easier. Either something to be accesses online or through email.
I hope that is clearer,
Sincerely,
Mieke

I’m sorry, but I really do not understand. Maybe you could provide screenshots and/or the exact steps with links clicked. That would help.

For this you will need the Link extension and , optionally, the Form extension.
Hope this helps!

ParticipantOk here goes. When I make a custom field under add an entry it shows up. [first attachement] but if I later return to add an entry the custom field I made is gone. So how do I save them? [see two attachments]
Ok so with those two extensions I can make a form that the therapists can fill in. I will give that a try then.
Sincerely,
Mieke

That drop down that says “Select” the “diploma’s” will now exist there for when you add new entries.
Hope that helps!

ParticipantI must be doing something wrong because it does not save when I do it. :(

I just logged in added a test entry with a custom field meta “diploma’s”. When I view it after the entry, it was there. When I went to add a second test entry, “diploma’s” was in the custom field drop down. Seems to working fine.
