The ” showtoall=“false“ ” Short Code does not stop users from seeing entries that don’t belong to them (at least when the ” Require user to be logged in to view the list” is set,to on. Can this be made to work so, when set, users can only see their own records?
There is a setting at the GF-Form Settings to setup this.
If you mean the “Require user to be logged in to view the list” setting, I have that turned on, but when that is turned on, the “Show records to all users or only to the record creator” option disappears. Anyway, in testing, we see that a logged on user can see entries that do not belong to them (although, they only get the EDIT button for entries that belong to them), But, this represents a security/privacy concern with the plug-in since users can see other user’s entries that they shouldn’t. To recreate this error, select “Require user to be logged in to view the list” and you’ll see that the “Show records to all users or only to the record creator” disappears and the ” showtoall=“false“ ” Short Code does not add the privacy in either. Ideally, the setting would work in the forms settings, but could be overridden using the shortcode so that some pages could be permitted to show all entries and other pages would be secure.
Will work with the next release.
I tried this again in version 1.9 tonight. It still doesn’t work. I see where you have created the new settings for “View’ and “Delete”, but the issue remains that users who are signed on (Subscriber) can still see all records in the list, even the ones that don’t belong to them. To recreate the problem, set “Require user to be logged in to view the list” to TRUE/on and the “Show records to all users or only to the record creator” option disappears for some reason. But, even if you set this field to TRUE or FALSE, it still shows the records in the list (it only shows the VIEW button rather than the EDIT button beside each record, but still those users should not even be able to VIEW the records. I also tried setting ” showtoall=“false“ on the form, but it still lets subscribers see the record, which is a privacy issue. I appreciate your support – I need to get a fix for this privacy issue.
Yep. I uploaded a bugfix release.
Thanks – I’ve retested on today’s version (1.9.1 php file time shows 11:30am change). The “checkboxes” editing item is working perfectly now. Thank you. But, I’m still seeing the issue with signed in “Subscribers” being able to VIEW records that don’t belong to them – I’ve tried a few combinations of settings and confirmed it seems to still be a problem. The Plugin does seem to remove the EDIT button correctly, but it leaves the rows showing and displays the VIEW button still.
Please take a look at the 1.9.2 release (will be available in some hours). If you set “showtoall” = true the view button will displayed at every record (when the user is logged in). Edit and Delete only for own records. If you set “showtoall” = false only the own records will be displayed.
That sounds great – I will watch for it. Thanks.
Hi Ralf – I tried 1.9.2 and has now corrected the display so that users can only see their own records, but it is now as if showtoall=“false“ is on for anyone but the Administrator. I.e. when you specify showtoall=“true“, non-Administrators still can’t see records that aren’t their own – I’m sure it’s some small setting, but I’m not a php programmer, so can’t really tell why it’s not acting on showtoall=“true“, I’ve also noticed that when you turn EDIT on, it turns VIEW to on at the same time (i,e, it seems like you always get EDIT and VIEW – this isn’t a prblem for me, but not sure if that’s what you intended.
Bought the plugin and is seems very helpfu, but I have a few things to address to allow me to use it: 1) Where is the documentation for the available SHORT CODES? I managed to muddle my way through the basics, but is there documentation? 2) I noticed there is an error with editing “Checkboxes” – if you “uncheck” a box that was previously “checked” it doesn’t save that change (i.e. everything stays “checked”. 3) The “Multiple file upload from Gravity Forms doesn’t seem to be supported – i.e. at least it doesn’t show the files -attached. 4) Is there any way to resequence the order of the columns in the table? Thanks.
Update – particularly on the checkboxes not being cleared during the edit?
I’ve found and fixed the bug. The update will be online in the next 2 days.
Great – thanks.
You’ll find the PDF documentation after you unzip the plugin file.
I found the documentation – thank you. I installed version 1.9 tonight and tested the “Checkboxes” editing again and the issue has not been fixed in this release. In case it was unclear before, if you have a checkbox “checked” (i.e. TRUE) and you edit the record and “uncheck” (i.e. FALSE) the item and save the record, you would expect it to save as “unchecked” (FALSE), but when you come back in to view the record again, it is still “checked” (TRUE). It does save cheanges from FALSE to TRUE, but nor TRUE to FALSE. Could this be fixed?
Iam starting to love this plugin and I have it almost working but thgere are a ffew things i don’t understand.
I would love to be able to include a status on te entries so that we can have a draft and a completed.
draft = editable completed = no longer editable.
I have forms which will act as quotes that need to be approved by management and the send to the clients once finalised.
I have also included the pdf extender plugin and love this too. wish I could have the view/download pdf functionality also be included in the front end form editor. Can you take a look? where do I send my login details?
I will think about a function like this.
I found another plugin called Gravity Directory and this allows for an approvals state and show only the approved items in the directory etc. This is quite cool. In the back end I can easily see which entries are approved and which not and it adds status to each one too.
I much prefer your edit capabilities as theirs takes you back to an ugly page to edit.
where do I find the pdf docuentation? I can;t get the list to show in the front end at all 
After you unzip the plugin, the PDF is at the plugin directory
AH found it thanks 
Great plugin. Is it possible to add a delete button for the uploaded images by user id?
Will be added with the next release
Nice addon to GF. Does this support pagination and filtering?
Thanks in advance…
Will be added with one of the next releases
I added Support for the tQuery – Dynamic Tables Script, that includes pagination and filtering.
Can we disallow edit of a user’s entries based on status of a post? e.g. users can edit their own entries except for entries with status = completed
I will think about a function like this
I will be out for some days, so i can’t give support in the next days.
The edit button doesn’t show up. can you use team viewer to check for me?
Please take a look at the PDF documentation. You have to setup the ‘Enable Edit’ Checkbox at the GF Form-Settings and also select the page, where the shortcode of the form is integrated.
Hi,
there is a bug in the plugin. You didn´t check the status of the entries, entries with the status “trash” are editable too. You can extend the where in the selects. I have some ideas too – you can extend the attributes for the shortcode with a edit true/false too – the user can with this got a simple table without a edit function.
Best wishes
Hi !
Thanks for the info. I fixed this in the developer release.
There are two ways if only need a list to display :
1. At the GF form-settings un-check the ‘is editable’ checkbox
2. Use the shortcode attribute gfediturl=”” (i hope this works
Can you limit forms displayable on the front-end by their form IDs?
Never mind, I found the answer in the documentation.
Hi, I would lika to notice a bug using Event on and your plugin. Event on works with gravity form but if I insert list&edit into the event I see many warning like this: Warning: Illegal string offset ‘spgfle_rows Warning: Illegal string offset ‘spgfle_tquery
Any idea? Thanks.
I think this is something depending on your PHP error setting.
Hi
The edit button doesn’t work anymore, I’ve assigned the page to the right page but all that happens is that it posts back on itself.
Can you help?
Any support here?
Send me Spur Backend access via the profile
I want to use Gravity Forms for front end posting, can I use this plugin to restrict editing to the author of the post?
At the Front-End only the user who created the post or an GF admin could edit the post.
Hi
Great plugin, definitely what I was looking for.
I see you will be adding the delete button in there, is there anything in the pipeline to add the duplicate button in? I know GF has it in the backend.
Cheers
Hi, I also can’t see the “Show Records to all users” setting anywhere.
You’ll find this setting at the GF form-settings
Hi, I really like the functionality of this plugin, but I’ve run into a issue that I don’t know how to solve. In your demo for post fields, you write “If you update a Post the old field-data will be saved as a revision.” In my testing, editing a post has been creating a new post rather than using the revision process. Is there a setting I may be missing? We really want to use the plugin for revisions.
Thanks
Yes. This is a bug in the current release. It is fixed at the next release.
The fixed release 1.9 is online now
Thanks for the notification. Look forward to the new features!
Hi,
Is it possible to get read only rendered and edit rendered for the same gform on 2 differents pages ?
Thanks Erdrol
I’m working on a view (readonly) mode. I hope the next release will be ready in about 2 weeks.
If the user has not created an entry yet, can the [gravitylist] shortcode display a “Create an Entry” message & link, instead of a blank list?
At the new release it’s possible to active a “add new” button, or to perfom a redirect to the form, i no record is there.
Hey naranili, any ETA on the new release? I need to decide if I can wait or have to create an alternative. Thanks
The new release in online now
One more question: The list is not showing the title of the form. I have tried adding title=”true” to the shortcode. I checked the form settings to make sure I didn’t miss something. Anywhere else I should look to make the title appear? Thanks!
Normaly the plugin uses the values from the default shortcode. Could you send me a link to your backend ? (via my profile page)
Just wanted to let you know that I did get the title to show up. I deactivated the plugin and uploaded it again. Somehow that did some magic. I am now having issues with how the shortcode affects how my theme displays a page…but I can live with it right now. Thank you! Looking forward to the next release!
I think this should be fixed with the new 1.9 release
Is it possible to have a user view-only and not edit an entry? I LOVE the edit button and the ease of inputting a list, but would like to give access to entries without edit option.
I’m working on a view mode and delete function
Thank you! I absolutely LOVE the edit function! Just what we needed!
The new release with the View-Function is online
