GuestHi. Our group needs to display a member directory and I like what
i have seen with this plugin. Now that it is installed, I have some questions with the functionality. Please let me know for each of these questions if it is included in the free download or if we need to purchase add on templates or widget packs. Thanks!On the main Directory page, we would like to use either the Default Entry Card or the Table Entry Card. When the name is clicked, we would like it to display as the Bio Entry Card.
If the above is not possible, is there a way to add a View Member link or View Full Profile link to either of the above cards and then have that link display the Bio Entry Card?
We need a Search box.
We need a Category drop down list.
Each listing displays the categories associated with that listing. Is there a way to make each of those categories a live link so that someone can click to see who else is in that category, removing the need to go to the drop down menu if/when someone is looking at a particular listing.
How can I keep the images from distorting as shown on http://awesomewomeninbusiness.com/awib-member-directory.
Thanks for taking the time to help me know how to move forward!

GuestAlso, we might want the option of limiting the number of entries shown per page.
In lieu of that is it possible to display an alphabetic range, i.e. A-C | D-F | G-I

In short, I think the cMap template is what you need. It meets nearly all your requirements. You can make it look more like the default template by removing its gradient, see this doc page for more.
The one item that is not met is the category links. Right now, that is not possible regardless of the template. Oh, cMap actually does not show the categories the entry has been assigned to like the default template does.
I hope that helps!

Oh, I almost forgot, image scaling.
Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and make sure the image ration is either scale or crop, not none. After you make that change, you’ll have to reupload the images so the new settings will be applied to the image.
