Edit My Directory Entry

@ Reed

Here’s the code that’ll create the shortcode:

add_shortcode( 'connections_edit_link', 'cn_edit_my_entry_shortcode' );

function cn_edit_my_entry_shortcode() {

    // Grab an instance of the Connections object.
    $instance = Connections_Directory();

    // Get the current user ID.
    $userID  = get_current_user_id();

    // Check to see if the entry has been linked to a user ID.
    $entryID = get_user_meta( $userID, 'connections_entry_id', TRUE );

    $results = $instance->retrieve->entries( array( 'id' => $entryID ) );

    if ( is_user_logged_in() &&
        ( $userID == $results[0]->user && $entryID == $results[0]->id ) &&
        ( current_user_can( 'connections_edit_entry' ) || current_user_can( 'connections_edit_entry_moderated' ) )
       ) {

        return cnURL::permalink( array( 'type' => 'edit', 'slug' => $results[0]->slug, 'text' => 'Edit My Entry', 'return' => TRUE ) );
    }
}

Hope that helps!

The shortcode should be [connections_edit_link]. I tested the code real quick, it works… keep in mind it will only show the edit link for the current logged in user if they have been linked to an entry by the Link extension.

Does that help?

I’m not sure I understand… The link will go directly to the edit page where the user is able to edit their entry… I forgot one thing though… You do have the Form extension installed, yes?
