Basically here’s my project:
I have to create a back-end wordpress gui user input section. The user will enter details about their projects like name, location, what it is, some other details. A page will display the top 9 recent or so in a 3×3 grid. There will be a search bar to search projects for related tags.
I have currently:
- used functions.php to setup my post
type and it works - used simple forms plugin to create
forms on the add new page
Background: I am a pretty entry level person in wordpress, and slightly overwhelmed right now. But, it’s slowly coming together. Any input on structure or anything would be appreciated.
Update: I have created the forms, but I need to know what to put in the single-projects.php to display the content from the forms.
Thank you so much
Hi @jeff:
This list of plugins should give you what you need:
UPDATE
Try this plugin as it lets you set up fields for the user to enter into:
I’d take a look at one of these plugins:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-fields/
I use Custom Field Templates (CFT) on almost every project I do, specifically so that I can assign (better looking) Custom Fields to my defined Custom Post Types. There’s a number of tutorials around the web on how to get data back out of WP once its been stored as a Custom Field…these plugins just make it prettier/easier on the administrative side.
Hope that helps…
