Store and retrieve user data.

  • Hi all.

    Sorry if this a bit of general/broad question but i am just starting with this kind of coding and i am a little unsure on how best to start it.

    Basically i am starting a personal project website based around reef keeping and i would like for registered users to be able to input some data (test results/numbers) whenever they require, and then have the data be displayed via graphs and charts. The data they input would need to be saved so they could keep track of trends and fluctuations over time.

    I will look into the chart aspect more at a later time, at the minute i just need to sort the data storage, does anyone know of any plugins that will do this> or the best place for me to start?

  • Hi @nickp87 ,

    That sounds like an awesome personal project! I have used Gravity Forms before to take user inputed info, and then be able to display that info on a site. You can check out all the other available form plugins for WordPress here, but I only have experience with the one plugin in this respect. It aggregates all the data, and would show all of the user submitted data, so would not silo the info from each user and show just that users info, but that may still meet your requirements. I believe you can also take the data from Gravity Forms and generate the graphs and charts, but that is beyond my experience.

    Check out this specific page on how Gravity Forms could display DataTables.

    If neither of these work for what you are trying to accomplish, let us know so I (or someone else) can make a more accurate recommendation.
