Your assumptions were correct. However, I've inserted the code you posted into a PHP widget on my sidebar and when I click it (while logged in as an author I use for testing) I get this resulting url: <a href="http://www.testmymessage.com/?author=/" rel="nofollow">http://www.testmymessage.com/?author=/</a> with a 404 error. </p> <p>Any further help is greatly appreciated! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-users-access-to-form-entries#post-36304 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 03:49:17 +0000 RichardBest 36304@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>By the way, for those interested in the ability to edit posts from the front end, the latest release of the third party Gravity Forms Directory Add-On now supports the ability for a user to edit his or her entries from the front end, assuming you're showing the entries on the front end via the directory shortcode. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-users-access-to-form-entries#post-36303 Tue, 27 Sep 2011 03:44:37 +0000 RichardBest 36303@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Brian - I'm just another GF user but have been deploying GF on multiple sites since shortly after it was first released. I'm not entirely clear on what you're trying to do, but it sounds like you:</p> <p>- are setting up a pay to post mechanism (doable with the PayPal Add-On); and<br /> - would like a user (who has presumably paid to post) to be able to logon and see only his/her paid-for posts.</p> <p>If that's right, you can achieve that with a combination of Peter's Logon Redirect plugin and creating a dynamic link in the navigation for "My Posts" which only appears when the user is logged in. This is the code I've used in the past to achieve the latter (which in my case I added to the theme's header.php file alongside the existing horizontal nav list):</p> <p><code>&lt;?php global $user_login; if($user_login) { ?&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://yoursite.com/?author=&lt;?php echo $user_ID; ?&gt;/&quot; &gt;My Posts&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;?php } ?&gt;</code></p> <p>In essence, the redirect plugin can be used to take the user straight back to the homepage (or other designated page) upon logging in and the code above can be used to create a link to the user's posts. I've not tried adding the code above to the entry for the redirect in the backend/admin. Perhaps that would work. Come to think of it, it seems that that's what you're after. Might be worth a try. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-users-access-to-form-entries#post-36290 Mon, 26 Sep 2011 22:43:11 +0000 Brian Schmitt 36290@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Andris,</p> <p>DId you find a way to accomplish your goal? I am trying to do the same thing and struggling to find a solution. I am using Cart66 to process PayPal express transactions, and using GF to take the info, make a post, Cart66 takes the payment, returns them to a thank you page were another GF ask them to create a user account. This creates an "Author" account in WordPress.</p> <p>I'd like to be able to let user login and see only their posts listed on a front side page. Clicking on a post title would take them to the post's page where they can see other user's comments on their post and make comments themselves. They do not need edit rights.</p> <p>Thanks for any help. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-users-access-to-form-entries#post-35537 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 23:10:44 +0000 Carmello 35537@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Carl, one thing that would be really helpful in future updates for my clients would be that logged in user without the capability to edit forms would not see the edit forms button in the forms menu. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/allowing-users-access-to-form-entries#post-35535 Fri, 16 Sep 2011 22:34:00 +0000 jameztcc 35535@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi Carl,</p> <p>thanks, the list is very useful.
