Question about Pages and Databases

Featured Replies

Posted

I've been experimenting with pages and databases and have a few questions. I've searched the forums and the help sections, but I couldn't really figure out what I need to do. I'm setting up a web site that will have different sections that use databases.

 

Here's an example of what I've done so far.

I created a Contacts page that holds a contacts database and has required fields for phone numbers and names.

I created a Help page that holds a help database and has different required fields for URLs and downloads.

 

Is this structured correctly? If it is, then how do I create a page that has links to both the Contacts page and Help page?

 

Like this:

Resources Page

      Contacts (Link to the Contacts Page that has the contacts database)

      Help (Link to the Help Page that has the help database)

 

I'm at a loss on the best way to do this.

Is there some way to create a database with categories or records that link directly to other pages?

Is there a plugin that does something like this? I checked out SuperGrid, but it seems to be per page/database unless I'm missing something.

Do I create a custom page, theme it, and manually add all the links?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you really want to bring those two sections together, you could merge them into one database with a category for “contacts” and one for “help”. Both can use different fields.
