StaffList

توسط ERA404

A very light-weight plugin, designed to easily create and manage a staff directory on your WordPress theme. Admins can manage staff records by importing (from CSV) or editing records individually. Record columns may be reordered (or hidden). Directory is sortable by column header, paginated, searchable, and customizable (by subset of records or number of records per page) using simple shortcode attributes.

Simple, Straight-Forward

The plugin is very light-weight, but robust. It allows for the individual management of staff directory records, or append/replace using a simple CSV (comma-separated variables) document or Excel Spreadsheet.

Update five standard fields for each staff record (last name, first name, department, email, phone number)
Import from CSV or XLS allows administrators to keep their staff directory maintained, either by appending new records, or replacing the entire directory with an updated list
Fields are not required (and may be left blank) for general department mailboxes or numbers
Updates are performed on-the-fly, so no lengthy reloads are necessary
Design is split into separate stylesheet for ease of theming
No edit links or popups, just make your changes in-line
Case-insensitive substring search, with highlighted matches on front end
Uses jQuery/AJAX for page handling, sorting & searching without pageload (either on type, on enter, or both)
Tipsy is incorporated for contact cards, to display additional information about each StaffList record
StaffList can be placed into content editor using the shortcode [stafflist]
Multiple StaffLists are supported in a single page and are customizable by shortcode attribute (e.g.: [stafflist subset=”department:marketing”])
Language is customizable for standard column labels and other messaging

Web Addresses

If your spreadsheet contains a column called URL, Link, or Profile, it will be depicted as an icon with the column value used as a link, provided that value is a well-structured web address. The title text will read Link to: firstname lastname and the link target will be a blank page.
