Beginning with WordPress

  • Hello!

    I’m looking into WordPress to use it for a project of mine.

    Also i want to be able to develop my own plugin if necessary.
    I already read the beginners-tutorial, it looked really simple.

    Now i want some more, maybe there is a plugin which can do that, i don’t know since i can’t search for technical content, only for what the plugin is for.

    So what i want:

    1. I need my own database-table. the table will most likely be altered in the future, so i need a mechanism to create and alter the database-table.

    2. I want to insert and edit the content of the database-table on an admin page.

    2. a) For that i need a table-like view of the database-table.
    2. b) The table from a) needs a button/link that opens the edit-page of the selected entry
    2. c) i also need a page to create a new entry. It would be great if it was the same page as in b)

    3. i need to view the data to the users on one page that is reachable over a menu-item in the navigation-menu.

    3. a) the page should view the data like in 2a)
    3. b) the table here should also have one button so i can view the title of the entry in the table and all the data on a separate page ( that preferably opens inside a tooltip)

    4. i want to have one page where severeal database-tables (like in 1-3) are shown in small boxes with view-buttons like described above.

    Is there a plugin that does something like that already? If not, can you hint me to the information i need the do these things?

    Since there is a new version i would like to use it, but i guess it would be okay if you show me these things in an older version, i think it didn’t change too much.

    I hope i get help here, since i didn’t get any answer in the german forum.

  • Hello MaWe

    I think this plugin might just help you to get what you are looking for, you can check it out to see if it has all the functions you need.

    Hello Xyno1

    Thank you very much for the link.
    It looks like a plugin where users can sign-up for a newsletter or something. technically it is what i need, forms etc.

    BUT i just found another plugin which does most of the things i need.

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/custom-database-tables/

    There i can create and alter database-tables and input data in the backend.

    so the points 1 and 2 are done.

    now i need to read from these tables and view the data.
    i think i can learn a thing or two from the custom-database-table plugin and will ask more specific questions one’s i tried to implement point 3 or find a plugin that can help me with it.

    so i need a plugin that can view data to the user and creates a menu-item into the nav-menu.

    also i need a mechanism where i can add a page on which i can add boxes from several plugins via hook or something.
