How to display statistical data in template table

  • Hi,

    I would like to display a table of statistical data in one of my templates. I want the data to be in a table in the WP database and then display it on a WP page.

    The database table will have the following fields: Zip, City, State, Population, crime stats, etc.

    The individual page will retrieve the respective data from the database through custom post type. So if I enter City, State ZIP on the custom post type field, it will retrieve the data of that particular place from the database and display it on the page.

    I hope that makes sense. If there is a plugin that can do this, that would be really helpful. I’m not a PHP/MySQL coder (just HTML and CSS) so I really need help with this.

    I would appreciate any help. Thanks!

  • There is a pretty big learning curve, but the Pods CMS Framework plugin will let you define a custom table and it will create the Admin menu entries to let you add/edit posts in the table. You will need to use the Pods functions to retrieve the data in a template.

    Thanks.

    I did check Pods before hoping that it could help me. I was a bit overwhelmed by the learning involved but I guess if there’s no other way to do it I’m gonna have to learn it.
