Creating portfolio site for several users

  • I’m looking for some advice on how to do a project that I’m working on.

    I’m doing a website for a school which main purpose is to present it’s students and their work. The client would like the website to first of present each student in a gallery. If the visitor clicks a student it should send the visitor to the student’s profile. On the profile there should be some personal information (preferably custom fields) like name, age, contact information and some basic text about the student. There should also be a gallery on each profile page where the student can upload images, videos and text. Basically each profile page should work like a portfolio for each student. Each student should be able to log in to the WordPress site and make changes to their profile only.

    How would I solve this the easiest way? I’m basically looking for a solution where I can create a template for the “profile page”, automatically create a profile page for each student and some way for each student to login and fill in their information and upload their work that then will be displayed according to the template.

  • Without going into too many details – the easiest way would be to do it via Buddypress (that being said, it’s not exactly pretty and I’d sooner recommend custom coding it and taking advantage of a few smaller plugins for specific features (like custom user fields)).
