<p>If you’re a website developer and you need to extend the functionality of WordPress by creating new data structures, this plugin is for you.</p>
<p>Admin Form allows you to create data collections by connecting directly to your WordPress database. With this plugin, you can easily create new data structures or manage and filter existing tables in the database. For instance, you can streamline the process of developing new plugins by automating the entire data entry administration section.</p>
<p>Using shortcodes, you can quickly display HTML tables on your site with search results, column sorting, and page breakdowns. Alternatively, you can design your own HTML and use special shortcodes to input data. Admin Form also includes a complete template engine.</p>
<p>Our comprehensive documentation provides clear and concise instructions on how to use the plugin to its fullest extent. Additionally, the plugin offers flexible customization options, so you can tailor it to your specific needs. Whether you need to manage existing data or create entirely new structures, our plugin can help you accomplish your goals quickly and efficiently.</p>

</ul>
<p>We hope you find Admin Form to be a useful tool for your WordPress development needs!</p>
<h3>TEMPLATE ENGINE</h3>
<p>You have at your disposal a powerful template engine similar to wordpress shortcodes.<br />
You can customize the data display through attributes. For example to make text uppercase:</p>
<pre><code>[%item.Title uppercase]
</code></pre>
<p>You can control data flows through the most used operators (if, for, break, while, math…)<br />
For example, to check if a user is logged in you can write:</p>
<pre><code>[^IF [^user]==""] you are not logged in
[^else]  You are logged in [^endif]
</code></pre>
<p>Or pull the data directly into a post via the [adfo_tmpl] shortcode</p>
<pre><code>[adfo_tmpl]
<ul>
    [^FOR EACH=[^POST TYPE=post]]
        <li>[%item.title_link]</li>
    [^ENDFOR]
</ul>
[/adfo_tmpl]
</code></pre>
<h3>PHP</h3>
<p>Obviously you have a set of hooks and filters available for working in php, but you also have a class available with a set of functions to manage data from the code. You will find all the documentation inside the plugin.</p>
<h3>POST TYPE SUPPORT</h3>
<p>Custom post types can be created. These are handled with the plugin’s display and insertion system, thus focusing on data entry rather than content formatting. Using post_types, it is possible to generate not only new lists of data, but also the detail of individual content opened on new pages.</p>
<h3>METADATA SUPPORT</h3>
<p>For post, user, comment tables and all tables that have a linked “meta” table, Admin Form allows you to add custom fields to the table you are editing.</p>
<h3>MULTI ROW FOR POST, USER, MEDIA AND LOOKUP SUPPORT</h3>
<p>You can create fields that can save multiple data such as user lists, media or posts.</p>
<h3>PRO VERSION</h3>
<p>There is also a PRO version that you can download for free!</p>
<p>The pro version adds:<br />
– <a href="https://github.com/giuliopanda/admin-form-pro/wiki/Calculated-fields" rel="nofollow ugc">The calculated fields</a>.<br />
– <a href="https://github.com/giuliopanda/admin-form-pro/wiki/LOOKUP" rel="nofollow ugc">The lookups fields</a>.<br />
– A system for managing tables through mysql queries<br />
– The ability to create query forms (LAB).<br />
– Advanced management in the creation of tables<br />
– <a href="https://github.com/giuliopanda/admin-form-pro/wiki/Import-Export" rel="nofollow ugc">Import and export of data in mysql / csv</a>.</p>
<p>With the pro version you can directly manage the WordPress database by creating queries like on phpmyadmin or adminer.<br />
Some differences are:<br />
– Greater integration with WordPress allows you to avoid accidental changes to WordPress core tables.<br />
– The replace system supports serialized fields<br />
– You can edit the query with the help of a series of dedicated tools<br />
– For each column you have a menu of options inspired by the Excel system<br />
– The ability to edit multiple tables at the same time. in fact, it is possible to edit the fields extracted from the query independently of the tables to which it refers.<br />
For example:</p>
<pre><code>SELECT post.post_title, m01.meta_value AS test, m02.meta_value AS test2 FROM wp_posts` post LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m01 ON post.ID = m01.post_id AND m01.meta_key = 'test' LEFT JOIN wp_postmeta m02 ON post.ID = m02.post_id AND m02.meta_key = 'test2'
</code></pre>
<p>`</p>
<p>Allows you to edit both the test field and the test2 field</p>
