WordPress Cycling Plugin

Hi,

I am a WordPress newby so any advise you can give would be much appreciated.

I am a front-end guy who normally uses ExpressionEngine to build my sites. I am looking to see if there is a WordPress plugin available that will allow me to be able to register users, have them be able to create a personal or team profile, have them log how many miles they have cycled, what their average cycle is, show personal and team league tables etc etc, a kind of general 'log my cycling' website.

Can anyone point me in the right direction of a plugin that might be able to do this? Or will this need to be custom coded?

Thanks. Stephen.

I don't think you will find a specific plugin that will do that explicitly but you could certainly set up something like it without having to create your own plugin. This seems to be something ideal for Custom Posts and Custom Fields (have another look at http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress). Set up a "profile" type custom post using those fields that want to be required and you could use another plugin to give explicit permissions for people signing up to the site or even front end editing access to that custom post type.

Thanks Andrew,

I am currently working throughout the "WordPress Development" track so hopefully I will have a better understanding of things after that. So much to learn so little time ha.

Thanks again.
