Custom database management

  • Hello,

    I am very new to WordPress, and I was wondering if it’s possible to have on the dashboard, a kind of CMS for a custom database.

    Explaining:
    I would have a table Entity, with fields id_Entity, Name and id_Type, and another table, EntityType with fields id_Type and Type.

    Would I be able to manage that information from somewhere within the dashboard? And would then I be able to create a specific page to show that info, and filter by EntityType, for example?

    TIA,
    Manuel

    Thanks for the reply, but my had designed a full scale database ER Diagram just for my app, which included about 15 tables, all connected between them. For what I’ve seen from this plugin, it look a little limited for what I’m looking for.

    Do you think there’s another one, a little bit more complex, in order to manage all the information within the 15 tables?

    Thanks

    A plugin that uses your custom tables is probably going to be hard to find.

    If I want to build a website, which contains some sort of hierarchic information, how would I go about it?

    Imagine I would like to have a Movie database:

    One table with movies, another with actors and another with directors.
    All of them would be connected between them, and I would have to add the information manually.

    Would there be any way to build those tables, and manage them through WordPress? The input would be somewhere through the dashboard?

    Would it then be possible to show the information through front-end pages? A listing for movies with references to the actors, directors?

    Thanks for the help.

    Hello Manel,

    I am trying to find something like that for myself. Did you have any luck? I was trying to avoid having to create some custom plugin to manage some tables in the database… ??

    Thanks for your help! (obrigado!) ??
