I'm looking for a WordPress plugin to manage and store data (preferably in a separate database, or at least a separate table from the rest of WordPress ). Something along the lines of Caspio Bridge or Zoho Creator, but much simpler. I don't need to be able to do much with it (at the moment) - just import/export csv and search through it.
Whenever I try and search for anything to do with databases and WordPress all I get is information on it's database, so hoping someone here will have some suggestions!
I think this is what you are looking for:

There is PHPMyadmin plugn for Wordpress here:

And the small Adminer plugin too:

I have an old website with an old framework on PHP and mysql.
I want to migrate to wordpress.
I want to know if is possible or exist any plugin on wordpress that let me read data from mysql database and put them on page.
Other speaking, can I use the database and create pages dynamically with wordpress.
If yes please provide me a link contains a simple example to learn.
Appreciate in advance.
Shortly, it's possible to migrate website, which used some framework to wordpress cms. But there isn't any tools, which can do it for any framework type. Each website is differ with it's structure, pages, logics and goals.
For some cases there is plugins, extentions, which transfered the whole website from one framework to another.
But you should to know, that it can not be done 100% transfered without any losing.
Main migrate to wordpress is going so:
1.Compare databases and with sql commands insert into wodpress db information of posts/pages/users/products and etc., which will be inserted as it need wordpress to work with theme.
2.The second step is migrate static files to wordpress, such as html/css/js and make them work dinamically using wordpress functions, file structure and etc.
Please note, that if your framework have not many datas, it will be faster to just install new wordpress into server, find some theme, which will suit you, create posts/pages as you want and after it replace some information from old website
I need to know, has someone integrated any DB to Semantria, and get output to any DB or excel or text file ?
I have tried to explore semantria via excel and API , but integration does not work perfectly.
It depends on what kind of integration you're looking for.
I have already done many integrations with different storages including indexing services and RDBMS solutions.
Unfortunately there are no ready-to-use components available on the market, so you will need to build integration by your own.
Semantria offers SDK (https://github.com/Semantria/semantria-sdk) for all modern languages, you will need to build a logic that will get analysis results and will save them to a certain storage.
Can you please explain what storage do you use and what Semantria output you're interested in?
Thanks George.
Well at the moment, we are just focusing on pulling the data from DB (take for instance mySQL, or Oracle), and output should again go back to same DB, i will take care of transformation needed in o/p.
Now where I am stuck, is the place where I can set up a link between DB and semantria, how will these SDK help, never worked on something like this.
A brief on this will surely be of great help
I am searching for the proper way to build an online database application to behave similar to an Excel datasheets that I have.
I have a working excel file with many calculations, and I need to port this to my WordPress website as a service.
My clients would be able to log into the web app section in WordPress, and manipulate their own data sheet, and get results from all the calculations.
Any idea or direction regarding recommended platform or programming language that can do that ?
Sincerely
Dan
If you want to create a web calculators based on an Excel file I would recommend you to take a look at “Appizy”. It converts instantly a spreadsheet into a standalone web calculation tool (HTML+CSS+JAVASCRIPT). You don’t need to hardcode the whole interface and calculation formulas!
As your Excel file is converted in HTML you can download it and paste it in your WP installation.
If you want to include database you might need to had a bit of PHP on top...
Let me know if it helped you!
I am trying to create multi-site platform using codeigniter.
Requirements are:
- Same Codebase.
- Same Database.
Just wanted to know how to achieve multi-site platform if we use same database/codebase?
Is there any way we can create separate tables for each new site i.e wordpress multisite?
Thanks a lot.
For separate sites you have to create separate directories, and set paths accordingly
eg.
application/contollers/site1/index.php
application/contollers/site2/index.php
Same for views and models
For database you can use prefix,
eg: if u are creating same site in different languages
eng_title
arabic_title
eng_description
arabic_description or arb_description
and you can fetch your desired data with your query and condition.
CI tutorial would be helpful for your requirements, please check

When Joomla 1.6 came out and onwards I started using the joomla profile plugin to manage my user's profile data.
I have been wondering for quite a while about the pros and cons of such a table where the data is stored in rows and not in fields.
The pro is definitely that I can add new profile fields very easily.
The con is how do you search on the information when different field types are stored in a text field - ie: the dob of the user is stored in a text field.
Perhaps this question is more database than joomla related?
But it boils down to - should I be using the joomla profile table for large numbers of users?
Thanks,
Mat
It really depends on the project you are working on.
If you use a plugin to get the work done, cons are
You will have to spend some time to get to know the plugin.
It will take more time to make changes since you don't know the internal structure of the plugin.
pros are,
Plugin does everything for you. Faster development.
Most probably error free and tested well.
In my opinion if you are to do a lot of data manipulation and if the plugin does what you want to do exactly use the plugin. That's the best part of joomla. Faster development. If you have any problems please ask.
You can use the Joomla extended profile if you want to, or you can use Community Builder which also extends user profiles.
Out of all honest, might be better for lots of users, as you might want to install other extensions in the future, such as the Kunena forum for example, which it integrates with fully, along with lots of other extensions.
