I am looking to setup a staff directory exactly like the one here:
http://teacherstern.macace.net/our-people/

Is this using the circled template add on below?
http://connections-pro.com/add-on/circled/

If so, can this also display birthday and anniversary dates?
Also, is it possible to import a list of staff members with this add on?
Thanks!

re: Is this using the circled template add on below?

Yes, that site is using the Circled template, however, they have customized it quite a bit.

The demo page is representative of what it looks like unmodified.

The dates, anniversary and birthday, will be shown on the profile page not on the results page.

re: Also, is it possible to import a list of staff members with this add on?

No, the template does not support importing. However,the CSV Import addon is available and is used to do bulk imports.

I hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

Great thanks. So it can be customized to look like this?
Also, are the search and category dropdown features included with this?

re: So it can be customized to look like this?

Yes, but the changes they made are not supported . Meaning, what they did are not options. They edited the template’s CSS and PHP template file. If you are comfortable doing that, the changes should be fairly simple to do. If you are not, I do provide custom development services. I could create a version that matches that site. Let me know if you are interested and I can give you a quote.

re: are the search and category dropdown features included with this?

Yes, they are, there are off by default. The doc page has instructions on how to enable those features.

First, you should give these a read so you can learn how to make these changes in an update safe way.

• http://connections-pro.com/2014/05/07/quicktip-custom-css-templates/
• http://connections-pro.com/2014/06/04/quicktip-custom-template-override-files/

To add the you need to edit edit the card.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/

You can copy the code from the card-single.php file found in the same folder.

This is the code you want to copy/paste:

$entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['phone_format'] , 'type' => $atts['phone_types'] ) );

$entry->getEmailAddressBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['email_format'] , 'type' => $atts['email_types'] ) );

Hope that helps!
