Accessing non-Participants tables in custom template?

  • While I know this isn’t officially supported with short codes and such, but is it possible to add in codes in a custom template to call specific data field from a table not created by Participant Database?

    I am using the Participants Database to store product components. Each entry is a list of components for one single product. However, I need a different table to store production information, such as how many of each component to order, clients, and delivery date. So, what I want to do make it so the total page will multiply the components of different products by the number of orders placed.

    This is certainly possible, I can’t be too specific, but if you are familiar with the use of the wpdb class, it is easy to access any table in your WP database. You would probably place the code at the top of the template before the actual printing takes place, then use the resulting values in your template.
