Question

itd be great if someone could help me with this.

Im doing a site for my local football team using wordpress, they want to be able to create regular posts with descriptive match reports . Thats fine. But they also want some of the information to appear on another page with a match report listing as if it were in a table, with just key relevent information, like …
date | venue | division | hometeam | 3 2 |awayteam | link to report|

Some of this would be fine, ie the date and the link to report , but the problem is the other information is quite specific and not as simple as including the_title or something.

The title of their posts wont look the same as what would be on the table. So instead of the the_content, the_title, etc, Im wondering is it possible to grab certain elements of the_content. Or is what im looking to do very complicated?
Im wondering is it possible to implement this using tags?
I want it to be easy for them as possible.
Id really appreciate any advice.

Answer 1

You could use regular expression to parse the content, but that’s not the recommended way of doing it.

The simplest way would be to use “custom fields”

And then use

get_post_custom($post_id)

to get a array of all the different tags, and then display em in a table.
