• Hi there,

    Was just looking for a method to create a meet the team page for a WordPress site. Basically would like to be able to display:

    – Thumbnail of staff member
    – Name
    – Position
    – Contact Details
    – Brief description

    Need a GUI so that administration staff can easily add/remove staff as required.

    Would like to be able to use with an existing site.

    I’ve played around making one using CSS/Tables and lightbox to get some cool effects – but the most important thing is super-easy expandability and integration with WP-Admin.

    Is there a WP plugin that can achieve this?

    Many thanks!

  • how about wp tables

    sets # of columns across and down, color, alternating background if desired, is fully configurable by the admin panel.

    Definitely look worth a look.

    Hopefully it is configurable enough – needs to laid out as a “profile page” so to speak.

    Cheers for the help – will give it a shot tonight and let you know how I get on.

    Sorry for the double-post, not sure how to edit!

    I’ve given WP-table a go, it’s a good plugin but unfortunately it requires the use of tags such as <img> and BR which I’m worried will overly complicate things.

    I suppose a gallery-esque plugin could work.. I’ve just had trouble finding one that allows for the level of ‘captioning’ that would be required.

    Thanks for the help so far though!

    huh?

    requires the use of tags like <img> ???

    If youre going to display images, youre going to need to use <img></img> regarldess of what plugin/solution you opt for.

    is a simple line break.

    If you find that to be overcomplicated, there isnt going to be anything that suits you.

    Needless to say, there isnt anything like that already made that Ive seen anywhere. Since you sound like you have fairly specific needs, like somehow displaying images without using image tags.. you might want to enlist some paid help.

    I don’t have a problem with img tags etc, it’s just a WYSIWYG editor would be easier for other people on the team.

    Essentially, what I’m looking for is probably a photo gallery product that allows the display of more than just one field as a caption, and for each field to be formatted differently.

    There’s two layouts which I’m deciding between:

    1. This is probably preferred, 3 columns and as many rows as required – displaying for each staff members their image, their name, position, contact number and a button to send them an email/perhaps more info.

    2. The more traditional method of 2 columns, with the image in the left and the title, contact details, perhaps description all in the right.

    The second option can be done relatively easily from within WP-Tables although it may be the case that it’s easier to build the page in HTML/CSS and create a page template and just have changes emailed to me so I can manually update the page..
