Hi Steph, great plugin but I've run into a problem. How can I let non-admin users create and manage entries without having to see the admin interface? So far, I've made a page with:

1.  table showing all entries (using custom display).

2. "add entry" button that links to another page with form. This is good, works without having to go into admin.

3. download CSV link to export entries to CSV. /?plugin=formidable&controller=entries&action=0&form=5&action=csv. This is good, works without having to go into admin.

4. edit link next to each row linking to page with form populated with data from entry. Should be like /wp-admin/admin.php?page=formidable-entries&action=edit&id=2, but outside admin. What URL should I use?

5. delete link to delete a row. Again, what URL should I use?

I'm sure there's a way within the plugin to let users manage entries without admin. Just can't figure out how. Can you please help? Thanks :-)

Looks like you've gotten most of the way. In your form settings, have you checked the box to allow users to edit previous responses? If so, then all you need is the link. It'll look something like this in your custom display:

example.com/page-with-form?action=edit&entry=[key]

The delete link will be almost the same:

example.com/page-with-form?action=destroy&entry=[key]

Only the user who created the entry can delete it.

You can check out a couple demos like this at demo.formidablepro.com
