Hey there,
Is it possible to generate a pdf file of the volunteers of a specific sign-up-sheet via link?
I don‘t want to give the users the manage role because there is one user per list who is in need of the pdf document.In the pdf only the Name and the mail address is required.
Thanks in advance

I do something similar in this way:
1. Export the volunteers to Excel.
It is possible to hide/choose columns before export – or by deleting columns in Excel afterwards.2. Print the document to PDF

Torben,
That is not currently possible. I’m currently using the datatables jQuery plugin for the viewing of data on the admin side, and it has all the export functionality built into it, so the exporting is not something I coded in PHP and could trigger with a link. It’s part of a javascript/jquery library: https://datatables.net/
If you want me to code something custom for you, I could certainly do it. My rate for custom programming is $100 per hour. You can contact me privately through the contact form if you are interested. I think this is a very specific need that probably nobody else would be interested in, so not something I would put into the free plugin. Also, could possibly violate privacy of your volunteers if other people can figure out the link to trigger the data export and get a list of names and emails for spamming, etc. You would definitely want to protect a function like that by requiring the person to be logged in to an authorized account for that function.

Im am using the pro version. It isn’t linked to my account here because of a different Mail address.
Maybe it is possible to show a specific user a export option for a specific list in Frontend?
Thanks for the fix answer!

There is no “Pro” version of my plugin. Do you mean you bought one of the many extensions for it? There is only the free version on wordpress.org, and then several paid extensions you can buy that add more functionality (calendar view, customizer, custom fields, etc.).
Again, none of that is currently possible. If you want something custom coded, we can discuss it. Otherwise, you have posted to the correct feature request forum, so this will stay here for future consideration, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up, as it seems like a very specific need.

Maybe I’m missing how to do this….
Looking to export all the sign ups for a multi-day Sheet after the days are over. Currently it only shows and exports today and in the future.
This is a multi-day event with ongoing sign ups. When it’s over, I’d like to pull the final list of volunteers.
Thanks, Mark

Mark,
You can do that already, but you have to have the options set correctly.
Scroll down in the general options for these settings (copied from the docs page):
Show Expired Tasks? — If you want to save signup info even after the dates have expired, check this box. This ONLY affects the signup lists on the ADMIN side. The public sign up sheets will never show tasks/signups that have expired.
Automatically clear expired signups? — Enables the hourly CRON function that checks for and deletes expired signups from the database. If you want to save your signup data after a task date has passed be sure to uncheck this and then check the above option to be able to view the expired tasks/signups on the admin side. If later on you want to manually delete all your expired signups, use the button on the CRON Functions page. For example, it is useful to clear all signups so that you can alter the dates on a sheet and reuse it for the following school year.
You need to make sure the first one is checked and the second one is NOT checked. Checking the first option above will allow you to view expired sheets & signup info. However, if you had the second box checked, then you are out of luck as it will automatically purge signups from the database once the events have passed.

Thanks Stephen,
Of course as soon as I look again, I see the “Show Expired Tasks” checkbox!!!!
Thanks for the fast response.I fFinally got another organization I’m involved with to use your great plug in. I had to work my way into being apart of the dev team and just installed it.
Been using it heavily at my company. It’s doing what we need it to do. Curious what a Pro version would offer.
Looking forward, Mark

Hi Mark,
There is no “pro” version, but I have the various extension plugins that I sell on this site.

That way you can pick and choose the features you need, or you can save a lot of money by buying one of the bundles if you want features from several of the extensions:
