I am developing a WP theme in which I would like to have a page template that functions as a person information page. The person may or may not be a user/member of the site using the theme. I would like the person information consist of an image, some, text, and a URL.
In order for this to work properly, the information would need to be stored in the database. However, this is starting to sound more like something a plugin would do? Does anyone have any suggestions whether or not it is acceptable/appropriate for a theme to store data it needs in the database? If so, how would this be accomplished.
Additionally, if this is more of a plugin type item. Can themes package plugins with them as part of their installation?
