      Hello,
      I have to develop an application and a website for a mediatheque. the application must manage books, CDs, DVDs, and other … the authors, and must also manage the adherents and the loan or lease articles, track time works in you, edit reports and statistics …
      I can achieve this with piklist?
        I know very well wordpress, but I didnt know if piklist is powerful enough to do that.
      Thank you for expert answers piklist

      @fmalinge– Welcome to the Piklist community!

      It sounds like you will need lots of post types and custom fields. This is basic Piklist and it does it very well.

      If you can do it in WordPress… you can do it faster, easier and with more power with Piklist!

      The best part of Piklist is that it’s easy to get started and use it.

      Feel free to post specific questions on the support forum. We’re here to help!

      Thank you for your answer, super fast
      I do not think I can do it with only wordpress I need a tool to make calculations on fields, what are the rental items, items available, edit reports and statistics.
      It should also make links between posts, for example, between the post books, and post articles on loan, is it possible? it must generate a unique identifier per item.
      last thing is what piklist can operate in multi site, we can export the application to be used by other mediatheque with their own database.
      thank you again

      @fmalinge— I’m not 100% clear on your scope, but I’m guessing you can do this in WordPress/PHP/Piklist.

      And yes, Piklist works well in multisite.

      Thanks and sorry for my english
      Exemple in a post i have authors (id author + name + …)
      in another post i have books (id book + name +…+ id author1 + id author2)
      another post i have history (id book + date + comment + …)
      when i display a book, i would like to display authors infos and have the possibility to display his history
      When i display an author, i would like to display his books, etc …
      that mean is there a field (ex id author) i can put in the book post to select the author of the book.
      PS authors can’t be a category or taxonomy, it s a post
      is it possible ? is it clear ?
      i ve install piklist and i ll try …
      is there a place to see website made with piklist ?
      all the best

      This can definitely be done by Piklist! In fact, sample code is already in the built-in demos:

      Activate the demos
      -Go to: Add New Demo
      -Click on the “Advanced” Tab.
      -The field “Content Section (Grouped)” is pulling in Post Titles to a dropdown.

      The code is located in:

      wp-content/plugins/piklist/add-ons/piklist-demos/parts/meta-boxes/field-add-more.php
      

      Let us know if that helps.

      yes, it is exactly that, thank you
      I ll begin to develop my website, I hope I would have no barrier to do what I want with piklist.
      I take your listening to ask you another question
      if I want a unique item ID (identifier) how can I generate it automatically? ex ID00001 ID00002 …. it may be necessary to encode a bit of PHP at the time of validation?
      thank you again
      PS. you know where I can find websites made with piklist?

      @fmalinge– WordPress automatically assigns a unique identifier to each post… the Post ID.

      That s right
      and if i want to choose this ID (for exemple DVD00001 or BOOK00022) and then control if this ID does not already exist ?

      The default WordPress post_ID is an integer, so you can’t use DVD0001. However, you can automatically set the post title to this using the Piklist filter piklist_empty_post_title

      Check out this example >
