I’ve given this some thought, and have received a few requests for the ability to manage multiple forms/databases. It’s a good idea, but not possible as it is. You may want to look into using a custom post type for your “venues”– that may provide all the functionality you need. There are several plugins that can help you set up custom post types.

Yes, you’ll need to use another qualifier in your rule. For instance, the list is enclosed in a div with a class of “participants-database” (this is what would be changed by including a class variable in the shortcode) so your selector should be “.participants-database .PDb-list-image” Now your rule will work.

Well, this may be possible depending on how you want to give the link to the user. Once a record has been saved, it will be included in a list of records that can be displayed on the website with the [pdb_list] shortcode. It’s possible to place a link in that list that goes to a page displaying the user’s info (not an edit page). So there’s your link.

In the settings under the general settings tab is a setting to tell the plugin which page you have your [pdb_single] shortcode on. Then, set the column in the list you want the link to the user’s info (like on the first name).

In response to my query on Feb 11, 2012 regarding having an option similar to record edit link with unique code, I had asked whether it is possible to have a link for a participant to get a link url which can only show participant’s detail (without edit) to include as a signature (in email, blog etc.) for the purpose of showing participation, I am waiting if this feature is included. Any thought to include this in future upgrade ?

Thank you.

In wp-content/themes/twentyten/style.css

.PDb-list-image {
width:auto;
max-height:100px;
vertical-align:middle;
text-align:center;
}

Do I need to add a class, e.g.
#myclass.PDb-list-image {…} and then insert
[pdb_list class="myclass"] ?

Yes, I get requests for this a lot. The short answer is no, but I want to make it work with another plugin that does handle mass emailings. Some time ago I looked around for a plugin that did a good job of sending out lots of emails, but didn’t find anything I could recommend in the free category (I’m sure there are premium plugins that would work well). If you come across a good free one, let me know and I will look into integrating the two.

Yes, I think I need to re-write the docs…but the shortcode you’re looking for is [pdb_signup]. Be sure to assign the fields you want to show up in the signup form by checking the “signup” column on the manage database fields page.

Your idea is an interesting one…it’s not really possible with the plugin as it stands, but it makes me wonder if some kind of calculation ability might be a good feature. You’d pretty much have to modify the plugin files yourself to achieve this…then you’d have to be very careful not to upgrade without integrating your changes into the new files.
