I am looking to buy the propack as I operate a multisite for a college within the university. But can I create a directory with all 100 of our main faculty on the main site and then somehow create subdirectories on the department pages that only pulls from a certain dept?

For instance, I would like all the geoscience, physics and chemistry professors listed on our main college page, but be able to just have the physics professors on the physics subsite and so on. This would make my life easier, because it would mean only updating an entry once.

Is it possible?

Right now, I have Gridder, but only a license to operate it on one subsite.

I;ve read this a few times and I believe the answer is yes, you can do what you want. I’m assuming the department directory pages are actually subsites in your multisite network, correct? If this is the case, what you need to do is setup Connections to run in single site mode on you multisite network. Ensure all your entries exist on the primary site. You departments would have to be categories within Connections and the relevant entries assigned to those categories. Then on your subsites when you setup the shortcode to embed the directory, you would limit the display to that specific category. Others have done exactly this so they can maintain one single “source” then display it on separate “sites”.

Does this answer your question?
