    Hi,

    I would like to know if somebody know what plugin I can use to display a sql query of a database in wordpress.

    Indeed, my target is that visitors give their opinion about things like fruits, book… (I think use a plugin form, like contact form 7 or an other, tell me if you have an opinion). I want these data in a database.
    And I want that visitors see a table that they can filter in order to see the best fruit sorted by price, taste…

    Thank you for your response,

    Adevy

    I don’t think it would be a good idea to allow people to enter sql queries directly on your data. If you are using taxonomies for price, taste etc, you should be able to return items with a combinations of values for these using a plugin to provide faceted search such as facetious: http://wordpress.org/plugins/facetious/ or one of a number of alternatives: http://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=faceted

    Thank you very much for your answer.

    I understand what you say but I don’t understand how i Can, fisrtly, display a table in order to show results of the database ?

    Even if visitors can’t touch the sql database, how can them see it ?

    Adding a table for this is not the recommended way to do it in WordPress.

    Using a custom post type would probably be appropriate then each fruit would be added like a post, but in the ‘fruit’ custom post type.

    I have already created the custom post type (called book) and custom fields (Mark for price, quality,…), thanks to you. But I don’t know visitor’s answers can change automatically the custom fields of the good book.

    For example, I want to mark the book number 14, with a 6/10 for price and a 9/10 for quality. Is there a plug in to change the average? (If I have to write the formula, it’s better).
    I have downloaded ninja forms to collect answers.

    In a second step, I didn’t find any plug in wich can display automatically all of the custom post type. (Of course, I don’t want to add every book one by one.
    After I will use taxonomy to filter.

    Thank you again!!
