Creating php pages in wordpress

randombar

Hi Lads,
I'd like to create a few pages in wordpress that will for example allow a user to enter details of club members into a database and the likes.
What's the best way to go about this? I'd like to use something within wordpress i.e. create a wordpress page but include my own php and stuff like that.
Also I'd like to add in a page like this: http://www.zuzuspetalsarcadia.com/find.php I know how to do it but don't know how to set up the api in wordpress?
Any help you can give me would be appreciated.
Thanks
Gary

There are a few plugins for WP that allow you to include php in your pages ie. wrap the code in the templates.

I'd check out the WP plugins site for more details

I thought there was a setting in the config where you can include a [php] tag ? (maybe it was a plugin)

There used to be a plugin - no idea about an option, as I stopped using Wordpress ages ago

I know I should move to joomla and the likes it's just for the freebies I don't like having to do too much work.

I know it's off topic sort of, but the main nav menu pop-ups work terribly for me in FF3.0.1

The RSS link colour is Blue on Red EEK!!!

(and not entirely off topic as he posted the url for it)

Thanks Adam it's on the to do list, the "about us" is going onto the next line etc.

So close recently to packing it in and building my own cms, thing is I'm going to oz so will have to hand it over to someone!

#sidebars h3 a {}

I'm not sure what you mean by that, just to confirm, the primary problem for me is there is about a 3px high area to hover over to get the menus for Juvenile and Camogie, and it's above the actual text.

Hi,

Ya I'm useless I changed the width of the tabs last night (while watching the panel) and forgot to change the overall width.

Nice one for the info forbairt fixed that there now too!

How would I change the calendar one? i.e. sidebar caption.a{} or something?

something like

#wp-calendar caption a { color: #FFFFFF; }
#wp-calendar caption a:hover { color: #00FF00; }

Here's the .js

The code was taken directly from another site I used it for?

function load() {
  if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {      
	map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map"));
	map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl());
	map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl());
	map.addControl(new GOverviewMapControl());
	gdir = new GDirections(map, document.getElementById("directions"));
	GEvent.addListener(gdir, "load", onGDirectionsLoad);
	GEvent.addListener(gdir, "error", handleErrors);

	map.setCenter(new GLatLng(51.824042,-8.457493), 15);
	var mainpoint = new GLatLng(51.824042,-8.457493);
	
	function createMarker(point) {
		var marker = new GMarker(point);
		GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
			var myHtml = "<h2><font color=\"#000\">Ballygarvan GAA Club</font></h2>";
			map.openInfoWindowHtml(point, myHtml);
		});
		return marker;
	}		

	map.addOverlay(createMarker(mainpoint));
	
	//setDirections("San Francisco", "Mountain View", "en_US");
  }
}
