I know about the author template codex, but I’m looking for a way to create a page that will list staff, bios, and images… DYNAMICALLY!
Meaning, editable and it will have the ability to update automatically as users change.Any ideas?

btw: Theres lots of plugins which may do some of what you want, and that has code you may reuse in a Page template: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/author/

August 30, 2009 at 9:17 am #63010hoss9009MemberI’ll give the userdata a shot… will this list all of the users?
August 30, 2009 at 9:19 am #63011hoss9009MemberAt the top of this page: http://www.ericdmunoz.com/dhe/author/admin/, you can see that I have a box w/ the user name, pic, and bio (this is in a testing phase).
I would like to be able to repeat this, if at all possible.
Like I said, I’ll try the userdata and see how that goes.August 30, 2009 at 9:23 am #63012hoss9009MemberNot much luck. I just gives me 1 user at a time.
Any idea on how to have it generate all of the users at one time?I’m looking for something like this: http://www.viget.com/about/team/

I’m not very good w/ php, but what I can tell is that it has an multi-author loop that I can add bio info via the backend.I’m a teacher full-time so I have to do grading today and I’ll try it this week and I’ll let you guys know how it goes. :D
Hopefully, it works.

http://guff.szub.net/source/page-authors.phpI have 1 problem. There’s no link to individual profiles.
Here’s the line in which I want to link up to the individual profile:Code:Code:user_firstname; ?> user_lastname; ?>to a personal profile?
By profile I mean the default author.php page.AuthorPostsViewing 9 posts - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)- The forum ‘Back End’ is closed to new topics and replies.
