Frontend Editing

Good afternoon everyone,

I am relatively new to Formidable forms. I have successfully created a few forms and used them in my organization, however now I am a bit stumped with the option of frontend editing of entries.

I have created a form that stores  contract information. The user submits a few pieces of key information and attaches a PDF copy of the signed contract. I have also created a search form to be able to look for the entries and display them in a detailed search result. So far, so good.

Now when I add the "[editlink label="Edit" page_id=6]" to my result view (6 being the form originally filled out by the user) the link to edit shows up fine but it doesn't produce a link that actually exists and I get a 404 error.

When I hover over the edit link, I see : http://server.domain/2018/03/30/4-revision-v1/?frm_action=edit&entry=20

Can anyone tell my what I am missing? Where does this "4-revision-v1" come from?

Thank you!

Mike

Have you completed step 2 here?

Yes, I have. Both permissions are set to "logged-in user".

Can you export the form, view, and entries and attache here for me to demo and troubleshoot?

page_id = ID of the page that contains the shortcode that calls your form 6

It appears he has that part figured out. Instead of using the shortcode, apply /?frm_action=edit&entry=[id] to the end of the URL where your form is.

So if it is http://www.mywebsite.com/my-form, then you would have mywebsite.com/my-form/?frm_action=edit&entry=[id].
