Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

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
