Hi – I'm trying to display data from 3 fields in a form in a custom display.

 

My problem is that the custom display seems only to be able to repeat the fields for each user ie. I get:

 

Question 1:

answer

 

Question 2:

answer

 

Question 3:

answer

 

Question 1:

answer

 

Question 2:

answer

 

Question 3:

answer

 

& this repeats for each user that has entered data.

 

What I'd like is:

 

Question 1:

All answers from all users in a list

 

Question 2:

All answers from all users in a list

 

Question 3:

All answers from all users in a list

 

I've tried different shortcodes and different ways to edit the custom display but come up stuck. Is there a way to do this?

Do you only have a few questions? If so, I think you'll need to create a custom display for each answer. Would that work?

Steph, is there a way to create a display that I can pass a variable to? I am doing a directory that will have 1000's of entries.

 

So i have a custom display set up called Business Profile and I'd like to pass at least two variables to it to filter the data…for example: ?sector=Textiles&country=Algeria

 

For the function, I am using:

do_shortcode('');

 

I assumed Filter meant I could filter the data?  Please advise.  The issue is similar to s4c's post, but I do have way too many to create a view for every country, sector, city, etc.

Yes, this is possible. All you need to do in your custom display is add a line on the "Where" row for each of these. It would be something like this:

Textiles field is equal to [get-sector]

Country field is equal to [get-country]

i would be looking at over 8,500 custom displays.  I really need to pass a variable or two.

Never mind, I didn't read what you wrote correctly.  I see the "get" now and will test this out.  Thanks loads Steph.
