 * Hi – On this page: [https://xnau.com/work/wordpress-plugins/participants-database/participants-database-documentation/field-types/](https://xnau.com/work/wordpress-plugins/participants-database/participants-database-documentation/field-types/)
 * It shows “Numeric Calculation”, but then does explain how to do this, and “Numeric
   Calculation” is not in my dropdown list of field types.
 * I want to be able to do a simple adding of a few fields and product the total
   in the “Numeric Calculation” field.
 * Is this possible, as I note from a previous answer you planned to do this a few
   weeks weeks ago.
 * Thank you, Russell

 * Thanks for letting me know about that, it’s a bit of advance documentation for
   the next release.
 * It will be out very soon, within a couple of days at this point. It is a major
   release that (unsurprisingly) took longer than anticipated to complete and test…
   will actually be version 2.0.

 * Hi, thank you for replying so quickly, and I thought as much when I read your
   previous reply, these things always take longer than expected. I look forward
   to the update.
 * Also, please will you confirm something, as looking to get one of your add-ons.
 * It’s the “Pretty Permalinks” one, which would work well with what I want to do.
 * So can I check, each time I enter a record, or a “participant”, will this plug-
   in create a new page on my blog that will become indexable by Google, if that
   is the case, event better.
 * Or is there something I will need to do in addition to adding a record for this
   to be published to the internet? Or will this become self explanatory once I 
   purchase the upgrade?
 * The other question that maybe you’ve thought about is being able to edit the 
   data in table form for speed too.
 * Thank you once again.
 * Cheers, Russell

 * Pretty Permalinks is just for setting up human-readable links for your PDB records.
   The [Directory Tools add-on](https://xnau.com/product/directory-tools/) is the
   one to use to get your PDB records indexed by search engines. It creates a WP
   post for each record, which exposes the data (you have control over this) to 
   site-wide search and search engines.

 * Hi – perfect, thank you. So I assume that it I want these records to each have
   a pretty link, I add the “Pretty Link” add on as well?

 * I don’t recommend you use both plugins. I’m not saying its impossible, but it’s
   typically unnecessary.
 * A Proxy Post is a WP post, so it will have a “pretty” URL already, so it’s generally
   not necessary to also have a pretty link for the PDB post as well. This is because
   the typical use of Directory Tools is to use the WP post to display the data,
   not the [pdb_single] shortcode, which is for displaying a PDB record.
