Jot Data Manager

Jot allows non-technical WordPress administrators to modify MySQL tables with a lightweight, user-friendly interface. This plugin currently supports MySQL only.

Features

• Create menus directly in the WordPress administration page to view and interact with tables
• Quickly add and edit single entries to the data table
• Associate table entries with images, which are uploaded and managed using the Jot interface
• Rearrange table entries or split entries into multiple tables

Usage

Creating a menu

• To create a menu, navigate to the “Settings”>”Jot Settings”
• Ensure “Create New” is selected under “Menu Selection”
• Fill in your database information and click Update
• Choose the table that you want to create a menu for
• Fill in the remaining form and click “Add New”

Modifying a menu

• To edit a menu, navigate to the “Settings”>”Jot Settings”

Deleting a menu

Regarding image association

• Tables you wish to associate with images must have a dedicated image source column (ex. imgsrc)
  • The image source column will contain the image FILENAME
  • The image directory will be defined during setup
• To use your own default image (used when no association is made), simply add a “blank-profile-picture.jpg” to your image directory
