WordPress for my detailed project?

  • General questions.

    I am planning to create a website that covers racing sports (cars, horses, whatever) using WordPress.
    The website would involve different categories that should be linked together in a professional way, those categories include (among other things) racing news, results, videos, photos, upcoming fixtures ..etc

    I want to be able to provide linked content of a racing day for example. Say a major race took place and I am to publish a news article that is separate from a photos article or videos or complete results. The user should be able to navigate through those categories of the same event back and forth with known simple ways.

    My questions are, is there an automatic or semi-automatic sorting way to do this in WordPress? Is there a functionality in WordPress itself (or themes, plugins, ..etc) that would allow me to publish news , videos, photos easily to their corresponding linked categories with a reasonably friendly CMS interface??

    I have used WordPress before for a small blog that didn’t involve with more than news articles, and I wasn’t able to link content in the way I described above, which, if I may elaborate, is similar to what is being used in many football results sites. You have the game news article and you can see photos in the photos section FOR THAT GAME as well as full results or statistics in another section for the same game.

    I was only able to publish photos in a separate page, videos in a separate page and news articles in separate posts naturally, and updating separately was a bit hectic.

    I have good knowledge of programming in general and fair knowledge of php.

    Thank you

  • If you have a somewhat knowledge of php and MySQL databases, and good with HTML and CSS you can pretty much do anything with wordpress. I don’t have the time to explain how to do all of the things your doing but from a programmers prospective, there’s nothing within wordpress that would hold you back from achieving what you want to do.

    You should take a look at JQuery, AJAX, and XML to create dynamic table content.

    Good book i recommend that has a nice example of this:
    Head First: Jquery
