    Hi Roland,

    Thank you for the awesome plugin. You are the best!

    I have two questions.

    1. How to add the edit button on the [pdb_single] page?

    2. How to place an additional form which will add new records to the existing participant without overwriting the old records? For example, I have a customer under the company name ‘Example Ltd’, from the second form I would like to select the company name from a drop down menu and add additional ‘record1’, ‘record2’ ‘record3’ without overwriting the existing ‘record1’, ‘record2’ ‘record3’. is this possible? Thank you very much.

    1. The edit button is possible by using a custom template. You’ll need to know a little PHP to do this. You should understand that this means anyone who has access to the single record page will be able to edit the record too.

    Take a look at this example.

    2. The database is “flat” meaning that each record has a single layer of data…each record is independent and not related to other records. This means that you cannot “add” records to an existing record.

    If your users are WordPress users, you can approximate this by relating any record the user creates to that user.

    Hi Roland,

    I used a custom pdb_single to insert the edit button per your instructions but the problem is that it throws ‘No record was found.’ message when pushing the edit button and the ‘tabs’ disappear as well. This is the short code I use:

    [pdb_single template=”custom” tabs=”true”]

    Do you know why this could happen?
