I want my client to fill in his education and employment details himself. I have made a unsorted list for it which has div boxes in it. I can't seem to find a way so that the data the user inputs like date, post etc. and it automatically gets added in the list.
I'm talking about like a repeatable region but the client should be edit his previous data and add new data to the region also

Guys any help please?

Not totally sure what the problem is.

You want a list with each list item comprised of several fields like Date, Title, Description,? And you want to be able to enter the field data in boxes in the back end and for it all to be formatted in the front end?

Yes you are right. What I basically want is like a timeline of the guy's education history and stuff.

I want actually like those portfolio websites. I got the structure done. But when the person has to enter details regarding his education and the places he has worked it's becoming a problem. Since the <lil> tag needs to repeat with all the div boxes inside it.

Any plugins or ideas on how it could be done.

One of these plugins I think:

i18n custom fields (you probably want/need a different template file for this page)
i18n special pages
gs custom settings

Btw. what's the <lil> tag you mention? You probably mean <li>

Yes the <li> tag but how do I use those plugins to get the output I need. I have tried those plugins and not succeeded yet 

Last days I have been testing the GS Custom Settings plugin. Here you can see an example:

[attachment=553]

This means these settings are centralised in one place instead of in the specific page. Depending on how you want it organised, this can be handy. Also it has multi-user permission settings.

In Custom fields plugin it works similar, but you do the edits in the page.

I don't understand what you mean with a timeline, can you give an example?

If you check out the resume section there is an employment and education space. It's a list I want it such that my client can fill it up on his own. The client doesn't have programming knowledge that's the problem

I'm talking about this 

Have you tried that?

Have you considered making each section a different page? Then use the I18N Search plugin to display the sections as a single page (in a list).

Each (section) page has the same tag and you search on the tag. You can order the search results by menu order, so sections can be placed in the correct order by drag & drop (I18N Navigation), which is easy for the end user to do. I18N Search allows you to display the search results using custom code.
