WordPress custom form that shows data on a specific page?
-
Hi all!
Before anything, I beg all of you to read this carefully, as I am still new to WordPress in general, so I might have trouble explaining my problem.
I posted this same problem on the support forums, and twice on yahoo answers, but to no avail. I got no answers at all. Therefore, I am posting this here, in hope that somebody could help me.
I am a teacher at a high school and I am planning to make a site accessible only by me in order to aid me in my job.
What I was planning to do is to make a private site containing all the information necessary for me: school contact info, schedule, my daily lesson preparations etc.
The most important thing I was thinking of doing is to make a form-like page for each individual student of mine, so that during every lesson I can choose a student, write a comment and enter a grade if I wish, and then click save. I would like then that those information show on a specific page under that student’s name, and that later I can see all the notes and grades of that student on that page. That way I could track his/hers progress
For example, If I have a page called e.g. “Evaluation”, and i open it, I would like to have a form similar to this scheme:
– [dropdown menu] “Choose class” (since I teach several classes)
–>I choose e.g. class 3B– [dropdown menu] “Choose a student” (each class has 10-20 students)
–>I choose a student “Name Lastname”– [dropdown menu] “Choose evaluation element” (e.g. grammar, pronunciation, verbal skils, etc)
–>I choose e.g. “Grammar”– [radio buttons] “Choose a grade” (from 1-5 in my educational system. 1 being the worst, 5 being the best)
–>I choose e.g. grade 3– [text field] “Type a note” (optional)
– [button] “Save”
After the submission, I would like to have the possibility to navigate through the standard site’s menu to the class 3B, to pick the student Name Lastname and after I open that page, to see the date of the evaluation, evaluation element, grade and optional note.
Is there a way to do this or is there a plugin that can be modified to do this? Does anybody have any advice on this matter?
Thank you all in advance for your help!

Without you posting the URL for the exact site in question exactly as you were requested to do there will be no support. Hopefully, you comprehend that.

NOTE: I read what you posted in the OP and what you want to do is not what can be done on a free hosted WordPress.com blog.

Hey, thanks for reading my situation. Yes, i did not provide the URL since the site does not exist yet.
Thank you for explaining me that it cannot be done on wordpress.com blog
Can it be done on a WordPress-powered website, and could you at least give me some guidelines where and how to search for the solution for my problem? Googling “advanced forms for wordpress” and/or “custom forms for wordpress” or similar keywords usually redirects me to various plugins that are not what i am looking for.
Thank you once more, and since I have clearly gone to a wrong forum, (sorry for that!) I will not post any more to this topic after your reply, unless you require some other information from me.
