Interactive page

    I am very much a novice with WordPress and I may have to ask a colleague if I don’t understand a reply! I maintain a website for an amateur orchestra in the UK.

    I have been asked if it is possible to make an interactive page on our website (in a password protected area) whereby members can show their availability or not for rehearsals or concerts. Rather than a Doodle-type thing where people are all added in the order they sign up, I envisage a ‘table’ with everyone’s names already there (in a GDPR friendly style, e.g. ‘instrument – person’s initials’) in the vertical plane and all dates in the horizontal plane. Members could then add to the corresponding fields ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘?’. I realise that this might mean that anyone can cock-up others’ entries, but individual passwords for access would be a nightmare to set up, I imagine.

    I have looked to see if there are any plug-ins that will do this, but none of them seem to offer the above.

    So, is it even possible to have such an interactive page in the first place?! And, if so, can anyone point me in the right direction?

  • Hi @cco67 – Actually you don’t need plugins to do this. You can create a public spreadsheet using Google Sheets like the table you mentioned, and embed it on your website. You can see this link. https://support.google.com/docs/answer/183965

    Hi Cereno

    That looks promising. Thanks for the link. I’ll give it a go.

    Hi Cereno

    Just wanted to add that the embedding etc. made the Google sheet uneditable, but a simple hyperlink to the Google sheet, giving everyone editable privileges has done the trick. As it’s on a password protected page and the hyperlink URL is not visible to anyone, we’re good.

    Thanks again.
