Anyone looking to hold event registrations on their WordPress website should check out the Advanced Events Registration (http://shoultes.net/wordpress-events-registration-with-paypal-ipn/) plugin.

This plugin makes it easy for anyone to have a full event registration system on their website within minutes. Events can even be managed from within the WordPress admin.

From what I’ve been reading, many sites are built on WordPress, and some don’t even include a blog. If I could afford Mr Trevor, I’d have him build my site as well. Unfortunately, pokerplasm, inc! does not accept foodstamps and monopoly money.
Oh and also, another swing for the fences Messrs Carse and Manning.

Berty,
WordPress is a Content Management System, blogging being one of main focuses. It’s a fantastic program! I use it for all of my clients.

Cool – I need to look at WordPress more…

I thought it was just a blogging thing but seems pretty powerful

Not necessarily difficult, it’s just, what do you choose to program for? ASP or PHP? And what about other compatibility issues? But with the ease of use of getting a WordPress site up and running and install a simple plugin, it makes getting a poker league site running a snap!

PokerDIY is a great site/product and I highly recommend it for league admins that aren’t or don’t plan on running WordPress. In my experience with similar apps, I chose to develop the WP Poker League plugin so that I could host the data and the code on my own site.

At times the host of the leaderboard software we used (NOT pokerdiy mind you) had an extended server issue and we had no leaderboard! When it came back online we had to reenter a few events that were lost.

Geoff,
Would it be difficult to make a non-WordPress version?

Correct, this WordPress plugin is, naturally, only for WordPress. I tried to avoid any solutions that used an iframe to include results/leaderboards in a page/post.

Very cool – but it seems to only work for WordPress?

I am using http://www.pokerdiy.com currently (has a very indepth poker league scoreboard)
