Developing searchable database

  • Greetings,

    I have a project in mind to catelog thousands of “heraldic blazons” which are textual descriptions of coats of arms. I had originally looked into doing this on drupal, but did not get far. I’m more familiar with WordPress and wonder if it might suit my needs.

    This page on the drupal forum I have the description of my needs. I’m really not sure where to begin looking for support in this project.

    https://drupal.org/node/1592754

    I imagine a collection of plugins would be necessary. Something to generate bulk posts. Something to create posts from content entered into a user form on the front end. Perhaps a plugin for automatically generating tags from the blazon descriptions. Etc.

    Any guidance would be wonderful.

    Is it rude to bump my own post from a month ago?

    What I would really like to find at this point is a plugin that allows site visitors to enter data on a form and automatically populate new blog posts with that data. However, I don’t want that data to be the only thing that appears on the new blogs posts – some default information there would be nice.

    For example, the form may ask for: [NAME] [BIOGRAPHY] [DESCRIPTION]

    And then a post would be generated with [NAME] being it’s title and then with some preset formatting/paragraphing:

    [NAME]

    Biography:
    [BIOGRAPHY]

    Description:
    [DESCRIPTION]
