How can I create a gamerprofile database site with wordpress?

  • I’m looking for a solution to create a gamerprofile database site with WordPress.

    Let me explain. Currently i got a Google Sites page where you can fill in your username + gamerstag. And some checkboxes where you can fill in which games you are playing. Then you can submit it the big table which has all these information of all different users. It isn’t possible to edit these info afterwards.

    Now i’m looking for a way to convert this system into a WordPress site, but this time with edit functions.
    Players can register an account. Fill in their username, their gamerstag and choose the games they play from a list which the admin provides.

    Does someone know a plugin or something that can do this kind of thing?

  • This is quite routine.
    WordPress supplies the user registration and login, also instruction pages and so on.
    You write a plugin which registers some shortcodes, these shortcodes when seen in pages, invoke the selected function in your plugin which accesses the database and places suitable tables and forms in the page. The same functions know how their form is being driven, can tell if a submit or edit button were clicked, or if it is an initial load, the function can gather the relevant fields and insert / update to your custom database table.
    Of course these functions know the user id and can limit edits to the entry creator or administrator.

    Because your displays will need custom css, you will work inside a child theme. Maybe your pages need custom page templates, again easy in a child theme.

    Suggest that you search the plugins library here and find some small examples which do database insert / update operations with forms, they will provide the framework to get started. Develop in small steps.

    I’m not looking to create a plugin as i don’t have the knowledge to create a plugin.

    I hoping for one or more existing plugins to get the result.
