   I am building our church site using wordpress and want to add a section that contains our electronic church member directory (contains names, numbers, emails, etc.) - password protected of course. The format will be block style address (like on an envelope). Now, this list will be a bit large - around 300 different entries and I will want it to be paginated of course.

   My only issue is how the best way to implement this would be. It would obviously need to be updated as we go, which is no problem. However, I would like to be able to paginate it by letter, not page number. Is this easily achieved?

   I suppose I could have several separate pages one for letters A-G, H-L, etc. and then paginate those which would be okay. I would then have to add links at the top of those pages to get to the corresponding letter pages (which I could accomplish with a page template). But, as with most things, if this has already been done somewhere, I do not want to re-invent the wheel so to speak.

   Thanks -

   Mike

   Thanks for the links. Those are awesome resources (I especially like the user-extra one). However, this is not exactly what I am talking about right now. I am just building the site, but do not want the directory to be a "member" site at the moment. It is more information; although, I will at some point be adding membership capability later on.

   What I was referring to was simply a section that has our current directory of members at the church for access by church leaders, prayer chain, etc. I think I will try to implement it the way I listed above. I may have answered my own problem when posting that! I will leave this unresolved at the moment in case someone else has other suggestions, but will be sure to mark it resolved soon. Thanks!

   Mike

   I think it might be easier to install another wordpress in a folder for the membership stuff - my .02
