front end submission

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi, I created a simple page for front end submission and it worked. I still need the below features though.

1. to let the author input the source name & url of the post. How can I assign this input value to the element’ Single Post Source’ so it can display in the post page?

2. how to let the author select or input tags of the post?

3. I created a test user as ‘subscriber’ but this test user can still post on the front end submission. It doesn’t make sense but it’s true. Is there any way I can prevent subscriber post on the front end submission page?

Thank you!

Hello @zhangleji !

1. Check this video: https://www.screencast.com/t/wYC393CRO
2. Try these elements: https://prnt.sc/XOlxgfctoT_S
3. Use a plugin for this, for example the Members – Membership & User Role Editor Plugin.

I hope that helps you!

Thank you!

Thank you but these are not what I asked for.

1. I know Admin can add source name and source url in the post by editing. I was asking for the front end submission page where my authors post their articles. Is it possible that I have two inputs, source name and source url, in the front end submission page, so the authors can directly input there?

2. same thing. The question was for front end submission page.

I also have a question regarding the elements such as single post source and tags. I can find and use these elements in the single post page. But when I create a new page (not a post) for front end submission, there is no such elements. Can you let me know why?

Hello @zhangleji !

1. You can add a label with an “inline text” element, type “source” and add a link with a href.

2. Try the second element: https://prnt.sc/XOlxgfctoT_S

Hi,

I’m still confused by ‘add a linke with href’. Do you mean add an element? All I want to do is to allow the authors to input the source name and source url of the post so I can display these info in the single post page. Can you take a screenshort or a video to show how you do it?

Thanks a lot!

Hi zhangleji,
The source name and url can be set for the posts in this section – https://i.imgur.com/fXRN6Aq.png
For frontend submission, you need to use ACF to make those fields custom and set them -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/custom-fields-support/
