Hi everyone,

I have an EE2 site that uses the standalone entry form to allow users to add entries. There are two profiles: one allows a user to add only one entry, the other allows the user to add many entries.

The site works great for the first profile; I simply check if an entry exists or not. If it does, I go to the edit page, if not I show the add page.

For the second, there is no problem adding multiple entries and then listing them on a list page (see attached images). However, I can’t figure out how to display the corresponding edit form for each entry in the list. This is the code I use at the moment for the list, simple links going nowhere and a check to see if any entries exist already :

<ul>
{exp:channel:entries channel="Fiche" author_id="CURRENT_USER" status="Open|Closed"}
     <li><a href="http://">{title}</a></li>
{if no_results}
{redirect="Pages/Add/fr"}
{/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>

Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? I’m have a really hard time with this!

Thanks in advance.

However, I can’t figure out how to display the corresponding edit form for each entry in the list.

Does that mean you are attempting to use the SAEF as an Edit Form? Are you on the latest build? Are you using any extensions?

Hi,

I’m currently using the following build, taken from the footer: v2.0.2pb01

This is a stripped-down version of the add page of my SAEF:

{exp:channel:entry_form channel="Fiche" return="Pages/Edit/fr"}

<label>Company</label>

<input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="25">
<input type="hidden" name="url_title"  id='url_title' value="{url_title}" size="25" />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Save your entry" class="bouton" />

{/exp:channel:entry_form}

This is the corresponding stripped-down version of the edit side:

{exp:channel:entry_form channel="Fiche" return="Pages/Edit/en"}
{exp:channel:entries channel="Fiche" author_id="CURRENT_USER" status="Open|Closed"}
<input type="hidden" name="entry_id" value="{entry_id}" />
<input type="hidden" name="url_title" value="{url_title}" />

<label>Company</label>

<input type="text" name="title" id="title" value="{title}" size="25" class="saef" />
<input type="hidden" name="url_title" id="url_title" value="{url_title}" size="25" />
<input type="submit" value="Save changes" class="bouton">

{/exp:channel:entries}
{/exp:channel:entry_form}

Are there any great new ways of doing add/edit forms in the new build that I perhaps haven’t seen?

I just realised that the ideal situation would be to recuperate the titles for all “entry_id” for the user. Do you have any idea on how to achieve this?

Thank you 😊

Hi nanoxo,

This is a bit outside the scope of what the SAEF was designed to do; though you may have success, EE’s SAEF doesn’t officially support editing entries. There’s a feature request thread on this.

I’ll shift this over to the CodeShare Corner to get you further input. Thanks.

Does no-one have any idea how to recuperate multiple the different links to multiple edit forms? I’m really stuck!
