I have a website with Wordpress and I want to add members cards that they can fill their information and can download it from the website, but not sure how to do it I look for a plugin but I did not find.
also, I have 2 data on my website 'Event and Users' could I add them in one excel sheet or no?
I tried to look for a plugin
you need to separate your questions and add more information about your problem.
I'll try to help you:
** members cards **
You can use a form plugin to let the user fill the data (for example: name, surname, birth date, ecc..) that you need to print in the card. I suggest you to use this: https://formidableforms.com
the difficult way: you can intercept the form submission with formidable specific function "https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/frm_after_create_entry/" and with the collected data you can create image in the fly with php and imagemagik (or GD or other) https://www.php.net/manual/en/book.imagick.php. This part need that you have a little bit of experience in development. Check next point for a much simpler alternatives
the simple way: With formidable you can create a post (or better custom post) with the collected data without working on code:
https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/create-posts/ then you can redirect user to that page.
Invite the user to print that page and setup a specific css for print: https://benfrain.com/create-print-styles-using-css3-media-queries/

I work for a nonprofit which help disabled military veterans. We have all our participants register with us using Salesforce as the repository of their registrations. We have dashboard components in Salesforce Lighting which totals up the number of active participants we have. I would like to display the component on our WordPress site but have never done anything like that before. I was hoping to find someone who has done something like that and offer some direction on how to go about doing it.
I tried looking up WordPress plugins which integrate with Salesforce. Most seem to be geared towards sending registrations back and forth but not displaying information. From a little bit of research, it seems like coding might need to be involved. Maybe doing a REST API with a Post option which will send the data through an HTTP URI? But to my understanding is that it would require WordPress to be an API. I am sure there are gaps in my logic.
I dont have an extensive amount of programing language experience but am willing to learn. I have taken a few Java and JavaScript classes in school.
I have not attempted this yet. I am just looking for feedback and direction.
Few options here, in no specific order...
Do Wordpress users have real Salesforce accounts or is their data simply stored in SF? Ask your Salesforce admin if there's a "customer community" configured (if your SF org is really old he might refer to it as customer portal). Communities offer nice way of exposing SF to poeple who don't need full SF user licenses. Think like collaborating with real SF users on "My Cases", viewing reports & dashboards... But for this you'd really need people logged in to SF so it won't work if you want just something anonymous. Some more info
Another option might be using Sites (Visualforce pages that expose SF data to guest users). Think like displaying a product catalog, FAQ, web-to-lead form or some other generic "contact us" page that's anonymous. So if you have SF developer (or admin with good copy-paste skills) you could use some Visualforce charts. They can be 100% coded (like this) or fed data from a report (like this) so it's simpler for admin to change the report filters or something without really writing code. Not sure if the simple route will work on a Site, there are some old answers that say "No", you might have to try it out. Worst case you'd need Apex code (or JavaScript) to query SF for results and display them. And display that SF Site page as <iframe> in Wordpress.
A slight twist on the Sites option - do you use Chatter (bit like Twitter inside SF)? There's way to take a snapshot of a report when a milestone has been met and post it to chatter ("congrats for hitting X participants"). And embed feeds on Visualforce pages too. Docs
What SF edition you're on (Group/Professional/Enterprise...)? If you have API access to Salesforce you could query the info yourself from Wordpress and display it using whatever charting library's easiest for you (Google Charts, Flot...). There are tons of examples how to connect to SF from PHP (or maybe you could cannibalize a WP plugin). Technically it's one POST message to log in to SF and one GET to run a query (something as simple as SELECT COUNT() FROM Contact WHERE isActive__c = true?)
That'd be more or less everything in terms of pulling data out of Salesforce. I mean if you have API access enabled you can slice & dice it how you want, extract data with raw PHP code or use some middleware but overall idea doesn't change. Write queries yourself or use "Analytics API" to access report results (so your administrator has power to change it without coding)...
So how about pushing? SF could notify you about current participants count. At scheduled intervals or even realtime. That'd be "just" raw data though, you'd have to write visualisation yourself.
Plenty of options here
workflow rules (code-free), sends XML message to specified URL so you'd need a WP page that can "capture" the result. Could be sent on creation of new record or update of existing. Won't give you totals, it'd be data related to that particular record so you'd have to build kind of +1 / -1 counter... Or if you use a report + analytic snapshot (helper object to store report results) and have workflow on that - that could be really close to what's needed.
scheduled apex job to run some queries and send the results to you. Again - you'd need a WP url that can be called from SF
if there's a CometD plugin for Wordpress you should look at Salesforce Streaming API, Platform Events or (newer and even simpler to configure) Change Data Capture. Basically you "subscribe" to a topic (a SF query) and whenever SF data changes and SF decides it'd change the results of the query - it'd push the results to you. It's almost realtime. Too much to write about them, perhaps best if you'd try to click through some trailheads - SF self-paced training courses:

I am using Drupal 7 and a custom CCK content in order to allow users to submit information to our website. I'd like to be able to only allow submissions between a set of user definable dates. Once the dates expire, i'd like for the user to receive a message of some sort stating that the deadline for submissions is now expired when they click the link to open the form.
I currently manually go in and turn off permissions to the content type once the deadline expires, but that is clunky and requires a little too much management (I have 15 forms I need to do this for). I've searched stack overflow and google and have not come up with anything that fit my needs, most likely because I'm not using the right keywords.
Does anyone know an easy way to do this with a module or do I need to try to write my own in order to accomplish this goal? Thanks in advance for any help.
I think you have to write some custom module to achieve this. You would use hook_node_access() to control node creation page access and and put your error message and/or redirection.
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21node%21node.api.php/function/hook_node_access/7
Another solution is to use Webform module.
https://www.drupal.org/project/webform
Download version 7.x-4.x
Create a form and in the settings there is an option to control total submissions limit, and set time frames for limitations.
Hope this helps.
You can achieve this by:
Create a column in user table in mysql called "expDate", assign the expDate values(mm-dd-yyyy) to each user
In drupal, on the page where users summit message, write php code to grab the expDate from database, and compare it to Current Date, date('mm-dd-yyyy'). Just copy can paste the php codes in each page where you have the form.
You can also pass the expDate from php to js, then do some fancy job instead of simple alert.
In our company I have to extend the functionality of existing Drupal 7 website. Here are the requirements:
The business needs to inform all staff members, on different topics using uploaded to the Drupal site documents. (I already implemented this requirement.)
The business needs to know, which staff members have read a document and which still have not.
They need a report like this:
Document 1 25/50 (25 from 50 staff members still didn't read the file)
Document 2 50/50 (all staff members did read the file), etc.
In order to fulfill the second business requirement, I need a module which can track specific user's activity (in my case click on a link to download a file, which means the file is read). The module(s) have to be able to create a report like the one above.
(All staff members have a drupal account with a specific role.)
Is there any drupal module I can use or maybe a part of it. Or the requirements are too 'custom' and I have to create my own module.
I created almost exactly the feature you need. I would be glad to help you in the process.
I developed indeed a full custom module. And I could tell you that you will need different things:
A custom table in your DB to store the data
A custom entity called "track" or "action" that will be stored in the DB
Implementing the right hooks to create a track when you want to keep a track of a user's action
A custom page or block to display the tracks you stored in your DB with a custom query and appropriated permissions
To achieve all that, I suggest you to take a look at these pieces of documentation:
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules!system!system.api.php/function/hook_schema/7
https://www.drupal.org/node/878784
https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes!module.inc/group/hooks/7

Hope it will help.
I'm considering using BuddyPress for a profiles section of a website. It looks pretty good so far, before I get to far into it, I'm wondering if I can have multiple entries for each 'profile group' form.. For example (using the testbp.org install), on the profile edit form you can click the 'work' section and fill out company/job title/job description - this is good, but without a tonne of extending the code, can they have unlimited 'work' entries to create a job history or is it normally just one?
Thanks,
Thomas
It's normal just one - but it can be extended easily via custom code.
I want to be able to import my tweets from twitter into Drupal as Nndes. I want to be able to link #names and #tags back to the correct pages. I also don't want myTweeterName to appear at the start of the tweet.
How would you go about doing this? The twitter module does not create nodes but stores data in its own table. The feed module can read in the tweets from the RSS feed as nodes, but will display my name and not link #names and #tags.
The following post by Gábor shows how he has done it but I am not sure how he has written a custom module to do this.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Gabor is using the Feeds module along with the input filter from the twitter module.
From his post:
Tweets have certain special items like
#username references and #hashtags.
These should be linked to their
respective twitter.com pages, and
twitter module has input filters for
these which I could use to build up an
input format. (Given my use case, I
had no use for the rest of the twitter
module, so I took the format code into
my site-specific module, and do not
actually use twitter.module.) The
twitter feed also includes my username
at the beginning, which my site
readers will either know or do not
care about, so I also wrote a quick
filter which will transform my
username to a "from twitter" link at
the end of the node body.
You'll need to start importing your tweets using the feeds module. Then you'll need to add the input formats from the Twitter module to your default import (probably "Filtered HTML").
This is not possible any more, as Twitter does not export the user timeline as an RSS feed
