Hi,
I am working on a project(joomla 3.1), I've been playing around with fabrik 3.1 and it seem pretty powerfull so it looks like it would fit my needs. I would although like advice on how to proceed.
I'll explain quickly this site is for a sport center with about 10-15 sport teachers. Each teacher teaches one or several sports. Each sport has a page with info (weekly schedule, description, wages...). Each teacher has a page with portrait, info, specific contact form...
There is also a blog where all the teachers can post articles.
each teacher must be able to edit his inforamtion and an administrator should be able to create edit and delete all the teachers info preferably without going to back end.
I need to link sports with teachers and blog articles.
I have been thinking about this and I have come up with several options :
***1***
Use K2 and community builder but I don't like the extra fields management in K2 to make the weekly schedule.
***2***
Add Fabrik to option 1 to make the extra fields for the weekly schedule but I can't figure out how to link the extra fields of fabrik (week schedule) with the K2 items to edit and display on the same page
***3***
Use only Fabrik and start from scratch so I can have it exacly the way I want. This option seems pretty sexy and I could make it easy to edit for all the teachers.
I've managed to create forms structure the database as I thought it should be but I cant figure out how to display the information I want to create the actual pages. How do I access database and get the information I wan't on the page? I guess the best thing would be to create a component. I manage HTML, css and jquery but I am no database/sql expert.
or is there a component/module/plugin that could do that for me?
As you can see I realy would like to get this site as I want and the third option seems the best to my eyes so I am seeking help and advice for :
* tutorials to display information from database in joomla 3
* components, plugins, modules that can help
* your advice for this type of project
