Inspiration for a sports team website - can this be done ?
Permalink
I'm an Oracle developer who has built a couple of C5 website's this last year and I'm in need of some advice/inspiration.
I've been approached by a local team to build a website (no problem there), start a newsletter (again no problem) and create some form of database to keep parents and players information etc.
It doesn't need to be complicated, we're only talking basic contact information for the people, whether they've paid their subs, etc and it's not huge with maybe 75 kids (plus parents).
Is this something I can easily achieve with C5 and mysql for example ? I just want to be able to build the site and let an 'admin' person handle the maintenance of 'the people'.
There is the odd add-on which looks like it might do the trick but I'm not completely certain. At the moment there is no need to store team information (fixtures/results) but it may be wanted in the future.
I could easily build something using OracleXE but that seems like overkill !
Cheers

This is all pretty much built in to concrete5 within the Users and Members areas. If you add User Attributes such as birthdate, parent's names, fees paid, etc, etc then these fields are available for Admins to search, edit etc. I have built a site for a youth volleyball club where I coach. If you make these User Attributes mandatory then whenever a player logs in then they are prompted to add any new fields they haven't already filled in so it's really nice because you never know what new info you will need to collect from one season to the next.
You first have to activate the Public Registration and Public Profiles in the dashboard and then you can play around with permissions after that to control who sees/edits what info.

Great, thanks for the reply.
I've been playing around with mysql and have created a couple of PHP pages to input and display information.
I'll have a look at Users and Members areas next.

I've never had to do any custom pages that work the database separate from the functionality that is already built in. I think if you turn on the Public Registration and Public Profiles and start playing with them you will see it's quite powerful out of the box.
Is it possible to have logins on the site for different people to check different information ?
1. An admin 'role' who can add/update/delete players or parents.
2. A coach 'role' can search and view contact information for their players.
etc
All from within the site itself ?
