Author Topic: Create form to auto fill tournament schedule  (Read 436 times)

I am curious if anyone has done this, or can offer their opinion on the best way to approach it.

Short Version:
My question... is there a module that would allow an admin to fill in a form (for instance) which is taken and automatically creates a page with that data arranged in a pre-determined way.  If not, does anyone have a suggestion on how I might try to achieve this?

Long Version:
My soccer (football) club participates in a yearly tournament which is hosted by one of eight member teams.  I have developed a WB website which is passed from host to host, and they just personalize the blocks to their specifics.  But one area that I have not been able to automate is the tournament schedule design.  I have just been using a table which is not ideal, and usually gets messed up by someone along the way.

I am looking at something like this.  The admin would answer a series of questions:
Team #1 =
Team #2 =
Game #1 Time =
Game # 1 Field =
Banquet Time =
Banquet Location =

Then the resulting page would format it:
10:00 am South Feild - "Team #1 Name" vs. "Team #2 Name"
6:00pm - Banquet at the Clubhouse
etc.

I welcome any questions or direction.

Cheers!

Anyone have any insight into this?  It seems to me that it could be done, but I am struggling to find the stepping stone to get on the right track.

Check out the module "Members" by Chio ... I think it might be the right starting point for you.

hm said the same...

more info:

members will allow you to make some sort of a form you are talking about, then just like you can style the newsmodule you can style the loopfile of the members module.
