    Hi!
    I’m about to start a WordPress site and wanted to consult the experts here on the best way to go about part of the build. I need an A-Z directory listing of records (these can be pages or posts). i.e.

    Page: Section A
    — Item 1
    — Item 2
    — Item 3

    Page: Section B
    — Item 1
    — Item 2
    — Item 3

    See an illustration of what I want to build here: http://bit.ly/bS6E2o

    Since this is only part of the site, a plugin that turns the whole of WordPress into a directory isn’t appropriate.

    Each type of record (section A or section B) will have the same data input requirement:

    Title
    Content
    Email
    Telephone number
    Address
    Postcode

    – A-Z will be sorted based on Title.
    – The postcode will be used to plot where the items are on a Google map.
    – Email & telephone number will be displayed in the search listings.

    From what I can see, the following Plugins might be useful (any thoughts on other plugins?) :

    http://magicfields.org/ – to create the input fields required for Section A and Section B records & Inline Google Maps: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-maps-advanced/

    Many thanks.

    You could create a simple page and manually add links to the list. That’s how I would do it, unless there’s a ridiculous amount of links to add, of course.

    Thanks MacManx, yep there’s a fair few items to add so I’ll need to automate it. I’ll see if I can hack something together.
