Title: Beginning with WordPress Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Beginning with WordPress * [MaWe4585](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mawe4585/) * (@mawe4585) * [11 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/beginning-with-wordpress/) * Hello! * I’m looking into WordPress to use it for a project of mine. * Also i want to be able to develop my own plugin if necessary. I already read the beginners-tutorial, it looked really simple. * Now i want some more, maybe there is a plugin which can do that, i don’t know since i can’t search for technical content, only for what the plugin is for. * So what i want: * 1. I need my own database-table. the table will most likely be altered in the future, so i need a mechanism to create and alter the database-table. * 2. I want to insert and edit the content of the database-table on an admin page. * 2. a) For that i need a table-like view of the database-table. 2. b) The table from a) needs a button/link that opens the edit-page of the selected entry 2. c) i also need a page to create a new entry. It would be great if it was the same page as in b) * 3. i need to view the data to the users on one page that is reachable over a menu-item in the navigation-menu. * 3. a) the page should view the data like in 2a) 3. b) the table here should also have one button so i can view the title of the entry in the table and all the data on a separate page ( that preferably opens inside a tooltip) * 4. i want to have one page where severeal database-tables (like in 1-3) are shown in small boxes with view-buttons like described above. * Is there a plugin that does something like that already? If not, can you hint me to the information i need the do these things? * Since there is a new version i would like to use it, but i guess it would be okay if you show me these things in an older version, i think it didn’t change too much. * I hope i get help here, since i didn’t get any answer in the german forum.

It looks like a plugin where users can sign- up for a newsletter or something. technically it is what i need, forms etc. * BUT i just found another plugin which does most of the things i need. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-database-tables/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-database-tables/) * There i can create and alter database-tables and input data in the backend. * so the points 1 and 2 are done. * now i need to read from these tables and view the data. i think i can learn a thing or two from the custom-database-table plugin and will ask more specific questions one’s i tried to implement point 3 or find a plugin that can help me with it. * so i need a plugin that can view data to the user and creates a menu-item into the nav-menu. * also i need a mechanism where i can add a page on which i can add boxes from several plugins via hook or something.
