can I create multiple databases

  • I’m using PDB to create a registry of musicians.

    Our website also needs the capability for people to sign up to participate in specific musical events on certain days.

    Is there a way to
    1. create multiple databases or
    2. set up my primary database to allow people to sign up/register for as musicians, if they like, and also to sign up for one event but not others?

    In other words, I need the database to allow Jane Doe to register as a violinist.

    But I also would like it to allow Jane to indicate she would like to play on October 14 for an event and for Bob Smith, a singer, to say he would like to sing on October 20.

    I hope this makes sense. I haven’t figured out a way to make it work.

    Participants Database isn’t well suited to this kind of arrangement because it really is a single database. What you’re describing would probably be better implemented using some combination of WordPress user registrations for your musicians and another plugin that can manage events.

    Thanks so much for the fast reply!

    OK, I figured out how to add new fields that would enable people to select specific events they want to participate in.

    So now folks can register as musicians and at any time, they can go back and say they want to play for specific events.

    I think that’ll work, but if not, I’ll try working with another plugin.

    I’ll keep studying the documentation about a different question and will post again if I can’t figure out an answer.

    Thanks again!
