[wt-custom-fields-accumulator]

The following shortcode is only available in the Pro version of the plugin.

The accumulator shortcode displays a series of buttons that allow the user to increment the value of a numeric custom field for today's entry.

The aim is to provide an interactive and simpler way to increment a custom field without having to complete a larger form (that may contain other fields). For example, if you have a custom field that tracks the total cups of water consumed today then you may not want your user's having to load the previous total, increment the value and then manually save. Instead, this shortcode displays a series of buttons that allow your users to increase their daily total by set increments. Upon each button press, the current total is incremented by the desired amount, saved within the database and displayed back to the user.
