I’m working on a site cataloging recording artists and their releases. It is hosted on Siteground and posted with Wordpress. It is a wordpress database.
We catalog records, all the way down to the specific version of each release (each version is a post). I'm currently using buddypress to create the user accounts and etc.
https://staging3.recordcollectorsoftheworldunite.com/release/like-a-virgin-3/
Here’s an example of a release page. Each version is uploaded as a post. Custom post type->album (is one example). Currently I have buttons (they don’t do anything) in each version’s foreach loop that say “WANT” “HAVE” “SELL”.
I want these buttons to add to the user's WantList, HaveList, and WantToSellList. These will be unique arrays for each user.
I'm thinking the best way would be to create new column in the album's entry in the database called this_user_wants_this, _has_this, _wants_to_sell_this, etc. That column would be a dynamic column that each user's profile would fill in? Each user would have an entirely different list of wants and haves and wants-to-sells.
Here’s what I want to do in English.
If user is logged in and presses the WANT button on this_post(), Change this post’s row “want_this_item” to ‘1’ for this_user only.
if “want_this_item” == 1, change “want_this_item” back to 0.
I don’t understand the language of what I would need to write out. How do I create the field for “want_this_item”, and then what code do I need to modify it?
I've tried creating an x_profile_field in buddypress, is there something to this? I still don't exactly understand how to modify that with the buttons.
Thanks so much!

There is a problem, I do not know how to solve it.
The scheme is as follows.
There are categories of goods, in this form:
Category-1(term_id=1)<br>
subcategory-1(term_id=4)<br>
subcategory-2(term_id=5)<br>
subcategory-3(name Tour)(term_id=6)<br>
Category-2(term_id=2)<br>
subcategory-1(term_id=7)<br>
subcategory-2(name Tour)(term_id=8)<br>
https://docs.gravityforms.com/creating-a-feed-for-the-advanced-post-creation-add-on/
Gravity Forms will initially look for the category/tag of the same name as specified and use that. If no match is found, then a new category/tag will be created. All new categories/tags created this way will be placed at the top level of the category/tags hierarchy.
I tried everything in the Populate Anything settings, I can’t get it to correlate with the category that I need.I need this (subcategory-2(name Tour)(term_id=8)), inserts here anyway (subcategory-3(name Tour)(term_id=6))
By the way, I'll add one more thing.
https://github.com/gravitywiz/snippet-library/blob/master/gp-populate-anything/gppa-display-terms-hierarchically.php
It would seem that he chose the category that is needed, how to force the search not by name, but by term id?
Update: With the help of the answerer below I figured out how to do this. Basically I used a WP Query to get users and their user metadata and I sorted and placed the data in a for each loop in a table.
I'm new to PHP and I need some help. Basically I want to create a leaderboard with different user data. I want to display it in an html table.
This is kinda what i want:
Username GamiPress Points Time since last login
And I want the table to be populated with these data amongst others automatically. I want two versions one that is sorted with the 15 users who have the most points and one that sorts on the 15 users that logged in last.
Can someone point me to the right place on how I can best implement this?
I basically want to create the GamiPress Leaderboard add-on that I, unfortunately, can't afford, but with some extra fields.
There are multiple steps to do if you want to achieve this:
1) Add meta field to your users, so you can store the points. For example you can use "Advanced Custom Fields" plugin for this.
2) Write a function for adding points to this field. Define when this function will be fired.
3) Query the users ordered by that meta value and display it (get_users($args) might be useful).
4) For the Last-Login value you can use a plugin (google Wordpress Last Login) and write another Query and order results by that meta field. You can also write this by your own, here is a link I found: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-show-users-last-login-date-in-wordpress/
I don't know if this is what you were looking for.
Or did you want to see an example code how you use a wp query and display data in html table?
I have created two sections
First Section I have Order ID after entering the order ID and I click Next - In second section I want to populate order id's related data like (Name, Address, list of orders) All these data are available in an excel sheet, Once it is populated I would like the user to confirm their orders are correct and then hit submit.
Is this possible using google form or any add-ons for Google forms?
Thanks!
i read your question
As far i know about google form, google form don't give option to recheck your pre-filled options. So, what we can do is to give a confirm button at the end which is must required to fill.
You can see it through this example.
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSchhhCjcyQe-ZTdl8pFF-ETLPGFTXPcuqQGDGQ1nMbtcwOnGQ/viewform?usp=sf_link
If you want to create a more user defined form you can make it from simple html and php.
hope this will help you.
thanks!
I have a form in which I am attaching a workflow to. The form has a number that will be auto-generated. For example the first number will be 1, the next time the form is opened the number should be 2, so on and so forth. The issue I am having is: in the Default Value under the Text Box Properties I have the Value as: count(mynumber QuoteNumber) +1. When the form is generated the first and only number is 2 the number begins at 2 and never increases. Can someone help me with this or explain what I may be doing wrong? Thank You. I'm not using visual studio.
Rachel: I have fought with this problem since InfoPath 2007. Here is how I do it.
Since you say you are attaching a workflow, I assume you are using the from in SharePoint.
1 - create your form library in SharePoint
2 - use InfoPath to design the form. When you publish the form to SP, make sure you promote AT LEAST the ID field you want to auto-inc. (I usually promote every field in my forms, 'cause I like to use them like SP lists.)
3 - In SP, create one new form and manually set the ID field to the starting number for your form series.
4 - return to InfoPath designer and re-open your form template.
5 - create a new data source to receive data from your SP form library and specify your form library as the source, and the ID field as a data element. Name the data source something like “ID Lookup”.
6 - open the properties of the field you want to auto-inc on your form and, in the default value box, select function, then choose the MAX function.
And add “+1” after the function to increment by 1.
Now, double-click in the field are of the Max function. You will see a dialog showing your form fields. Notice the drop-down at the top of the dialog – here you can choose the data source (notice I named mine “sales Contracts” in this example). If you select the data source you created in step 5, you will see a dialog showing you a couple of data branches.
Expand the ‘dataFields’ branch until you see the field you want to auto-inc. Click on this.
Your formula dialog will look something like:
max(ID_X0020) + 1
With your field name instead of the 'ID' in the Max function – the function will now return the Maximum value of the field IN THE FORM LIBRARY, plus 1.
Save the form in InfoPath and try previewing it. You will probably get a security warning – your InfoPath form is grabbing data from your SharePoint library on the fly. You may even get asked to re-enter your password (I usually do). When the new, blank form is displayed in InfoPath preview, you should see you ID field filled in with a value one greater that the number in that field of your SP library.
There is one huge Gothca with this method - if users re-open a completed form to edit it, the formula will probably try to replace the ID number. If your users don't edit the forms after they are submitted, the this will work for you.
Hope this makes sense.
You aren't doing anything wrong - you just have to change how you think about "forms" a bit. Remember a form is just like a word document template. Suppose you save a word document on your hard drive with a blank spot to fill in your name. Later you open the template, type your name, and save a copy as V1.doc. When you go back and open the template again - your name is not there because it was saved in V1.doc. Everytime you open the template you start again from scratch.
Infopath forms that you design and that the user fills out are templates (.xsn files). When the user fills it out and saves it they are really saving a copy which is only data (.xml files). The .xsn template doesn't change when users interact with it.
So to answer your question - there is no way directly in InfoPath to cleanly keep track of an auto incrementing ID. You will need to tap into some code (webservice, sharepoint, etc) to do that. You could also consider making the ID a GUID (which infopath does support) but it won't be auto incrementing and it won't look "clean" if it has to be displayed/used by real people.
I am having a little difficulty trying to wrap my head around site structures.
I have quite a large asp.net site, for which:
Admins can see a user list, Each user can have many accounts, and for each account can have many items.
I can picture this as a breadcrumb trail of editing a particular item.
User List > Mr Bob > Accounts > BOB77 > Items > Item32 > Edit
User List = All the users
Mr Bob = A user the administrator has selected from the User List
Accounts = A list of the user's accounts
12BOB = The administrator has selected the account named 12BOB
Items = A list of the items an account contains
Item32 = The item that the administrator selected
Edit = The action that the administrator wants to do
I can picture how this would look like if it was using ASP.NET MVC with the URL, but I am unsure how to map this out using Webforms, and in the physical filesystem.
This is what I have thought up about how I am guessing the physical structure would look like. Will this have to use session variables to achieve what I am trying to do?
/Users/User/Edit.aspx <- for editing a user
/Users/User/View.aspx <- for viewing a user
/Users/User/Accounts/Default.aspx <- for viewing all accounts
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/View.aspx <- for viewing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Edit.aspx <- for editing an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Default.aspx <- for viewing all items in an account
/Users/User/Accounts/Account/Items/Item/Edit.aspx <- for editing an item
Where can I read more about this kind of setup in a web application? Or, can someone point me in the direction of an available project that has this kind of layout?
Thanks
This seems simple, but when you want to lay out the logical structure and you're considering every element to the structure, it becomes very unclear.
This is the url format I came up with. This uses query strings instead of Session variables.
Query strings are used as parameters.
Using this format I was able to make a sitemap provider which interpreted the values of the querystring and replaced the names of nodes for that page.
User/Edit.aspx?UserID=11111
User/Account/Default.aspx?UserID=11111
User/Account/Edit.aspx?UserID=111&AccountID=54353
User/Account/Item/Edit.aspx?UserID=3333&AccountID=43243&ItemID=432432
I hope this helps you, if you are in a similar situation to what I was.
