I'm looking for a very simple wordpress plugin and after looking through a couple thousand plugins on the wordpress site, I thought maybe someone here can point me in the right direction.
I need to have a small admin section to save simple key value pairs (strings, or ints), and have the ability to pull those values out with a snippet of code in the template.
This data needs to be available site wide (not custom fields within a post).
It's for a non-profit with no budget, so I'm hoping to not have to write something. They just need the ability to go into the back end, and update a few fields (number of donations, total value of donations, and the location of the next school they will be visiting), and those values will be outputted into the header and inside the body of a few pages.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much in advance,
B
For anyone wondering: I found this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-custom-website-data/
It works exactly as I needed.
Thanks
Assuming this is just for a select set of options and adding options does not need to be dynamic... You should just create a plugin.
Its very basic stuff, options and setting a admin page.
It doesn't get any easier than that for creating a plugin.
You could probably just Google Creating you first WordPress plugin and any of the tutorials will almost give you the exact code you need.

I am looking for some tool or service that can be used to track arbitrary events in web based software, for the purpose of running A/B tests and measuring various other things. I am aware of Optimizely, but that seems only suitable for testing simple things in normal websites and Google Analytics is not really suitable for this type of things and there is a lot of hassle when you want to track events from the backend and link them with a user's session in GA.
An ideal solution would be some service accepting HTTP GET requests with arbitrary parameters and then letting users do queries in an SQL-like language. I have many times put together some less scalable solution with MySQL or a less flexible one that stores everything in text files and processed and aggregated them separately into desired format. But building a both flexible and scalable version would require a lot more time and I guess there are already good solutions out there. Does anyone know of any?
Other requirements are:
It must be possible to do both back-end and front-end requests.
It must be possible to do use it in widgets, running on other peoples' websites
It would be nice if it could automatically create readable reports with maybe some diagrams, etc.
If anyone has any experience with this kind of tools, I would be very glad to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for your help.
Have you tried mixpanel? We've found it quite flexible and powerful.

We've been using GitHub for 6-months now and have more/less figured out "best practices" with regards on how to put in tasks, milestones, etc. However, from a management point of view, there are a few features that are lacking. For instance, Gantt Chart capabilities found in solutions such as RedMine, or even overlaying on top of a calendar tasks/milestone markers, roadmaps, etc.
Is there some sort of "add on" or 3rd party website that can hook into GitHub and generate these for me? Since we've already integrated so much within GitHub, I'd like to stay on it, but if a migration to another system is possible with the functionality we require, I may be willing to transfer.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated!
I started a project which does exactly that :
https://github.com/neyric/gh-issues-gantt
It only handles issue durations in days, but we found it to be easier to maintain and quite accurate for our usage.

We are building a website that contains a large number of database tables that need to be edited by the CMS administrator.
Some of the tables are fed by form submissions from users on the front end of the website.
Some of the tables are purely in the CMS and are used to create custom modules on the front end of the website.
Although there is a forms module in Drupal, I think our requirements cannot be met by it.
Does anyone know of a system that allows forms to be saved to a CRUD style database with the following features?
(source: yart.com.au)
Export of all database fields.
View a summary of the records in a filterable table.
With paging
You can have one to many relationships in records eg
(source: yart.com.au)
To code this manually for 10 forms is A LOT of work. Particularly the one to many relationships. If there is a powerful module available it would save us writing one.
I have not used it at all so far, so I have no clue if it fits your needs, but the Auto Admin module seems to offer at least some of the features you are looking for.
You should look at CCK and check that doesn't meet your requirements before building something bespoke. All of your requirements can be met with a combination of CCK, Views, and a bit of tweaking.
This CRUD operations can be achieved using Drupal 7 modules like data,schema,entity,views and ctools.
Nice article is here: http://subhojit777.in/crud-data-table-in-drupal/
In-place editing for Fields is also possible using quickedit module,but Backbone.js,Underscore.js libraries are required and your Theme should support.

Anyone know of a system or framework for a non-programmer form creation? Not a full implementation, but something that handles the designer aspect and something that handles the displaying for being filled in. All the logic we'll be doing. Maybe just a pair of widgets.
We've got a client-server application into which normal users enter and modify data in a thick client and we want to allow the customers to update and create forms with another thick client application, rather than calling us every time they need a letter changed. We want something to do the display bits while we implement the various hooks and functions the system uses.
We're a java shop, but we expect that we're open to writing these clients in another language if it'll be easier.
Possibly Xopus with a schema for the XForm could work.
http://xopus.com/
Try searching for XForms libraries and tools. XForms is a new-ish standard format for defining forms and there are some libraries and tools available for it. Haven't tried any of these myself.
EDIT:
This looks interesting: http://www.orbeon.com/forms/builder
Well, you're a Java shop so this might not be the best tool for you, but from you description you look like a classic case for Infopath:

What I want is lots of nodes which can expand making a mind map.
I'd ideally like to expand and collapse nodes. I would like to be able to navigate by either dragging around the page, or by following expanded nodes.
I have a colleague who needed that kind of functionalities to graph Maven dependencies between projects. He ended up using FreeMind to do the visualization. He just had to write an XML file conforming to the FreeMind format. I even think you can just use OPML as the file format and find a ready to use XSLT to transform it to the FreeMind format. Maybe FreeMind actually supports OPML directly (I havent used it for a long time).
Once you have your data in FreeMind, you can either export them, or use the FreeMind applet to display an interactive MindMap on your website.
Suggest mxGraph.
Suggest protovis, lovely javascript cross-platform visualisation library.
I think you are asking for a component that does what Visio can do, except that it can be displayed on a web page. Most likely you would have to create one from scratch, because mind mapping tools are always released as products per se and not customizable components. I suggest looking for a basic drawing/illustration component, and then putting your mind-mapping logic in it.
