Please can you give me parametrs to use?

Hi, I never tried this method myself. You could try it as a test but remember you have to disable sandbox mode.

OK, you're close, and I know the terminology I'm using isn't the best...but I'll explain things in a way that is relevant to what you're trying to do.
Things like "Participant Info" and "Contacts" are field groups, they are simply a way to organize fields. Each field in each of those groups is a different field, so if you have a "name" field in the "Info" group, and an "name" field in the "Contacts" group, those are two different fields...the plugin won't let you give them the same name...but the title can be the same if you want.
Now, for what you're trying to do, you may want to have the Info group and Contacts group as two separate groups each with things like name, phone number, etc...but there's a catch: only one "email" field can be the email field that gets the user email. SO, unless you don't need to send that email to both types of person, you'll need a shared "email" field for both of them.
OK, so your shortcodes: what you'll need to do is have one shortcode for each type of signup form (you got that) and in each of those you will need to use the "fields" attribute to name each field you want included in that signup form. This will give you your two different forms. This setting overrides the "signup" checkbox in the field definition so it doesn't matter if that is checked or not if you're using the fields attribute.
You can also use a hidden field to note the page the form was on if that helps...this is explained in the article you read.
The "type" I am referring to is rather confusingly also the "form element" setting for each field on the Manage Database Fields page. Does that make sense?
Thanks a lot.
Hey Robin,
I just came across this plugin. It has several components that I had to dig around the internet to find and place as raw code. Nice. Would have been good to have found this before. :)
Like for example your option for Add Forum Description. I'm using some raw code I found (probably from you on bbpress.org) :) to do this, but I'm curious if your plugin can overcome one issue I have been struggling with related to that.
I want to use shortcode, specifically from something like Global Contest Blocks or Text Blocks, to place content in that forum description area.
Is there anything in your plugin which will help me do that?
Or if not, can you point me in a direction of some code that I might add that would?
Thanks!
Ok, I think the light just went on, but I'll have to play with it. Thanks for the additional info. If I strike gold, I'll post my results. And if I strike out, I'll post some more questions, of course.
Loving the plug in! Hopefully I can get this wrinkle worked out, because it looks like it will be perfect for us.
It is better to put the button on a page (example: your join us page). Then share the link of that page in the email. So the user goes to that page and then clicks on the button to pay.
However, we do an option to use PayPal hosted button with this plugin also. This will let you create a payment link that you can use in an email. The following documentation has info on how to create a PayPal hosted button for membership payment:
https://simple-membership-plugin.com/creating-a-paypal-button-for-your-membership-payment/
OK, I figured it out!
For anyone else trying to accomplish this:
When you click on "Manage Database Fields" in the settings, you get a screen with tabs that include "Participant Info" "Personal Info" "Administrative Info" "Record Info" etc. I named my primary contact fields under "Participant Info," and for each of those fields under the "Type" column, I set them to "main" (as in main group. That is the default, I believe). Those are my primary contact fields.
Then going to the "Field Groups" tab, I added another field group called "Firm Members." This gave me another tab in the line-up called (no surprise) "Firm Members." There I added a field titled "Company."
So now I have tabs for the field groups "Participant Info" and "Company."
So if I want the following output:
Individual Membership Page:
- Member Name
- Phone
- Email
Firm Membership Page:
- Company Name
- Member Name
- Phone
- Email
My shortcode for these pages would be:
Individual Membership Page: [pdb_signup groups="main"]
Firm Membership Page: [pdb_signup groups="main,firm_members"]
This adds the "Company Name" field to the Firm Membership page, because that field is in the firm_members group.
It might be helpful if I also explained that there is a difference between "Name" and "Title": "Title" is what you call your field; "Name" is what the plug-in calls it, based on the title you give it. Same for the Field Groups. I titled my field group "Firm Members," and the plug-in named it "firm_members." It's the plugin-generated name that you need to use in the short code. Also, please make note that the Field Group titled "Participant Info" is named "main" in the drop-down "group" column. So any fields under "Participant Info" will be "main" in the short code.
I hope that helps anyone else who is trying to get different forms to feed into the same database.
I'm really looking forward to using this plug-in for our membership drive! Thanks, xnau!
Can we get the ID number of the post as a built-in shortcode for the post content? This is useful in certain circumstances because BASEURL?p=ID will always go to the post, regardless of the syntax used in post naming. And for certain short URL schemes that is preferred. Especially where unicode URLs are in play as those are less well supported by 3rd party shortening services.
I'm working around it now by defining a custom field for every post which is the same number and then using the %CF% shortcode, but that is extra work to recreate information which should be easy to pull otherwise.
Thanks for considering this and let me know if you need clarification.

Correction to above:
Error: So now I have tabs for the field groups "Participant Info" and "Company."
Correction: So now I have tabs for the field groups "Participant Info" and "Firm Members."
Hope that didn't confuse anybody.
So now I ran into a problem with the record page where a person goes to edit their information. I do not want all the fields showing up there, because some of them in the sign up forms are required, and if they go to edit their record, they will have to fill in required fields for which they have no answer (in my example above, it would be the "firm_members" field group for an Individual member. For editing purposes, I want only the "main" field group to show up, regardless of whether they are an individual or a firm member). Is there any way to adjust the short code on the records page to include certain field groups only?
Oh my... I wish I was better informed about the "advanced variables" two days ago, because this is the answer! Another member who has been answering me on behalf of your plugin told me not to use the "advanced variables" option, because the latest version of your plugin had a better way of creating the paypal button.
I have been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to find a workaround to this problem.
I think all of my little road bumps with the use of this plugin are finally solved.
Thank you!
I found a solution to this here:
https://simple-membership-plugin.com/creating-a-paypal-button-for-your-membership-payment/
Note that this solution is for use with the plugin, Simple Membership.
If you do not use Simple Membership, but you are trying to find a workaround, try learning more about the "advanced variables" option in step three of creating a button on paypal.
Aaaand, I just answered my own question.
In the "Field Groups" tab, there are two columns, "Public" and "Admin." I switched the "firm_membershp" field group from "Public" to "Admin," and it removed it from the "edit your own record" page. I did not try this earlier, because I thought it would also remove the fields from the sign up page, but it does not.
Hi Developer... Plugin is working fine. But i`m wondering if this popup allows functionality of shortcodes too....
[tptn_list limit="5" heading="1" daily="1" daily_range="7" show_date="1"]For future queries, please create a new post in this forum.
You can also disable the date and views from the Top 10 > Settings screen
Hi,
Thanks for the response.
Yes the issue is fixed on the dev version, great, much appreciated! Will let you know if I encounter any other issues.
I'm pretty new to this but I cannot find the answer to this elsewhere (sorry).
This is really frustrating me as I cannot get the Mixcloud embed / shortcode to work. I go on to my profile at Mixcloud, copy the WordPress shortcode and paste it into my blog post but it outputs as a branded Mixcloud "Sorry we can't find that content" error (see here: http://www.djmattrouse.co.uk)
However, when I have posted the very same shortcode on my WordPress.com site (here: https://djmattrouse.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/bar-room-bar-2/) it has worked.
So I'm not really sure what I'm doing that's wrong. Please help. :-)
Hi,
You are welcome.
Thank you for your feedback.
