Multi-user site with profiles, calendars, etc.

  • I have a new WordPress project that is at a scope beyond I have previously worked. I need to know if WordPress can handle it, or if I need a stronger or different product. I have found some plugins/extensions, but I’m not sure if they can handle the intracacies.

    In a nutshell

    Users:

    • Admin (5)
    • Contractor (400)
    • Customers (unlimited)

    Capabilities:
    1. Contractors must have an editable profile page

    • 3 different images
    • several text fields including web links, email links, etc.
    • pop-up list of services
    • individual calendar with different input types: available, booked (linked from admin calendar

    2. Admin must have complete access to Contractors’ profile page. There will also be text/note fields that the admin can fill in that are not viewable or accessible by contractor.

    3. Events on Admin calendar must click to open a form with several fields. These events must auto-send alerts to the Admin, Contractors and customers (or just an email address) that are included in that event. These alerts will go at specific intervals and will contain different fields from the event form.

    There’s more to it, but this is the gist of it and the weight-bearing part for WordPress. This will be huge as there will be several events a day, involving dozens of Contractors and Customers.

    If anyone has recommendations of plugins and extensions that will allow WordPress to accomplish these tasks, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you.

  • Hi nickchia,

    You may try pods which is a flexible and powerful framework to develop cms on WordPress platform. user profile and roles can be easily done by extending users with custom fields, some fields for admin only and some fields to store images. you may search for an event plugin that produces a custom post type to be extended with pods. the alerts can be achieved by cron jobs.

    I have coded an add-on to WP All Import which you might find useful to import users or custom post types. CIO custom fields importer the customers can be either users with role “customers”, or custom post types with custom fields storing data.
