Hi,
I have been working on a new site (WPMS 3.0.1) which main purpose is to provide information to the members of all communities inside it. However, the admins (property managers) are requesting an interface to manage monthly maintenance fees of all property owners. Specifically, to provide every neighbor (user) with an status of their property maintenance fee (payment date, paymentMethod, amount, balance, status: good standing, overdue, etc). Quite simple. In the backend the site admin will have a summary of all payments and the status of overdue accounts.
This is how it works:
The Super Admin creates the community(site).
Every community(site) have a property manager (admin) and lots of property owners/neighbors (users).
I need an interface/plugin so that the admin of every site could enter:
ownerId, paymentDate, paymentAmount, paymentMethod, currentBalance, Memo
So I also need a backend which is only accessible by the admin of every site and that every property owner/user might see their respective account balance information.
I need a DATABASE CREATION PLUGIN. Imaging a plugin that could allow you to develop almost any kind of database within wordpress... Nice huh!
Questions:
1) Does anyone know of a plugin that could do the job?
2) If 1 is negative, is this possible using several WPMU plugins combined?
3) Anyone knows of any other alternatives to do the job?

Actually we may have something in the works that'll suit your needs here pretty well :D
I can't give ya anymore info at the moment, but with the new custom post types I think you could create a way for admins to create a custom post and update it's status and other details, which the user would then be able to log into and see on the front end.
There's a plugin out currently that gives you a bit of an idea of what I'm thinking of, but I think we have something on the horizon that's a bit more powerful. Take a look here for the custom post-type UI plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/
I'm still a rookie.
If the "something in the works" is in fact the custompress plugin, is there any real life example/tutorial on how to implement this plugin to solve the thread started here?
Thanks.

Hello masonjames,
Thanks for the reply.
;-(
Custom Post Type UI looks interesting. Will give it a try.
I will also check Pods CMS:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pods/
If you have time, please review Pods CMS and comment if necessary.
Hope the "something in the works" is launched in a very near future.
Thanks.

I think "as soon as possible" would be the timing we're going for ;D

Although I am almost sure it will be, please ask the developer to try to integrate this plugin with the super plugin Supporter.
Thanks.
