Formidable Pro: Guestbook Tutorial Part 2—The Custom Display

posted on June 13, 2012

In our previous Formidable Pro tutorial, we constructed a form that enables your site's visitors to leave an entry in a guestbook. This tutorial picks up where Part 1 left off and walks you through the steps for creating a custom display to show your entries on one of your site's pages.

The video will walk you through the following Formidable Pro features:

  • Custom Display Panel
  • Custom Display Info
  • Form and Display Type
  • Content
  • Advanced

In addition, we'll walk through the source code displayed below and explain each section and what it does.

The custom display source code is below1:


 

[ihzfpx] [x1jxfj] [if bgb7ao not_equal=""] Send poster an email [/if bgb7ao] [if 2t1gv6 not_equal=""] Visit Poster's website [/if 2t1gv6]
[created-at format='D, j F Y']

[47kidn]
[arve91]

This is how the custom view appears after applying the code:

Feel free to download the source code.


1Author's note: I recently changed the custom view source code to eliminate the tables and use HTML <div> tags and CSS for positioning the data.
