Display a List of Entries

Add a list of form entries to a page, post, or widget. Each item in the list can be used as a link to view or edit the entry. By default, each list item will be the entry creation date, but this can be customized.

Use the shortcode builder

1. Go to a WordPress page or post.
2. Click on the 'Formidable' button above the content box.
   
3. Click 'List of Entries', then select the form that holds the entries you would like to use and choose from the options below.
   
4. Click the 'Insert into Post' button.

Insert the shortcode manually

Insert the following shortcode in a page, post, widget, or anywhere shortcodes are accepted.

[frm-entry-links id=x]

Use this shortcode to display a list of entries from a particular form. Replace x with the form ID.

Parameters

Required

• id - ID of the form

Optional

• field_key - Include a field key or ID to specify which field will be displayed in place of the entry creation date. This will display the data that has been stored in that field for each entry. For best results, make this field required in your form. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x field_key=adjh29]

• type - Display the entries as a list (default), dropdown, or a collapsed list by using 'list', 'select', or 'collapse'. Use type=collapse to collapse the list by year and by month. Use type=select to insert a dropdown with a list of the entries. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x field_key=y type=select]

• logged_in - Determine which entries will be seen by each user. Use logged_in=1 to only display entries submitted by the current user (this is the default behavior). Use logged_in=0 if you would like to display all submitted entries for each user. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x logged_in=0]

• edit - Determine whether the links will allow editing of the form or just display the entry. By default, the links allow editing of the form. Add edit=0 to allow users to see the entry without making any changes. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x edit=0]

• page_id - If you put the entry list on a different page from the form, add the ID of the page where your form is published. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x page_id=5]

• show_delete - Add a delete link next to each list item or next to the dropdown. Include the label for the link in this parameter. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x show_delete="Delete"]

  • confirm - If using the show_delete parameter, you can display a pop-up message to confirm entry deletion. Usage:
    

    [frm-entry-links id=x show_delete="Delete" confirm="Permanently delete your entry?"]

• link_type - Change the link to point to the admin entry, a different location on the page, or a normal front-end link (default) by using 'admin', 'scroll', or 'page'. If you use 'scroll', you will need a View on the same page. It expects a container with id="[key]". You can see an example of the scroll option on the FAQ page. Usage:
  

  [frm-entry-links id=x link_type=admin]

PHP Alternative

FrmProEntriesController::entry_link_shortcode(array('id' => x, 'field_key' => 'key_here'));

• 'x' = ID of the form
• 'key_here' = ID or key of the field you would like to display

Additional Customization

If the frm-entry-links shortcode doesn't have enough built-in options to meet your needs, you can create a View to accomplish the same thing. Just set the View to show 'All Entries' and insert the following link into the content box:

<a href="/page-with-form?frm_action=edit&entry=[key]">entry title here</a>

Change 'page-with-form' to the URL of the page where the form is published. When this link is clicked, it takes the user to edit the attached entry.
