[dba-Tech] Word Press Website Search Function

[Rocky Smolin]

Dear Lists:

A client I have worked with for years needs support for a WordPress website
they have  built for a business which is a little complicated to explain.
But if you're interested you can call me to get the back story.
760-683-5777.

Or call him direct:

Scott Arens, 619-917-1119

Or if you know someone who might be interested in the job, please pass
along the info.

Thanks and regards,

Rocky Smolin

Rocky:



I would definitely be open to working with someone in another country.  I
think that idea more than a college student because a) I would not know how
to find them and b) they probably won’t be around in a year or two.  I
would rather work with someone on a more long-term basis.



*What I need*



We want client to register for our courses from one spot, as follows:



https://ahiassociates.com/scheduled-courses/



It looks weird now as we are having issues with site.



This will include all of our courses (five different) from different
providers (us, various state societies), with different lengths and with
different start dates.  If there are say 30 courses available we want the
potential customer to be able to filter using a few parameter so they can
see those courses that fit their needs.



I know you could do this in a snap in Access, since you have done such
filters and far more.  But it needs to work on the site.



All of the data in the website will match the courses in the database.
Exactly. It would be great if there was some automatic integration or some
ability to download the data to a file and then upload to the site.
Otherwise, we would need to input (re-input) each cell individually.



Any thoughts or referrals would be appreciated.



Scott

No, I don't do Word Press.  I don't know of someone right off but will
think on it. Would you consider a college student - you might have some
luck at the Universities.  I'll bet there are some crack WordPress
programmers at UCSD.



Would you be amenable to working remotely with someone, maybe even
foreign?  I can poll my forum.



What kind of searching do you want to do? Would the data you're looking for
be available in the revised version of the AHI database?

We need a programmer to help us create a course search function on our AHI
website (in Wordpress).  Is that something you do?  If not, any
recommendations?





Thanks,
