staff-directory's Issues

Undefined variable notice

Hey, just installed and I'm getting this notice in the settings panel.

Notice: Undefined variable: did_update_options in /web/app/plugins/staff-directory/views/admin_settings.php on line 63

Multiple category ids for [staff-directory] shortcode

We have implemented the feature and we have allowed the shortcode to use slugs instead of ids.
If you want we can submit a pull request to your GitHub repository.
We think supporting slug and multiple categories may be a pro for everyone.

Email Link

I see that [email-link] has been deprecated, however I have <a href="mailto:[email]">[email]</a> and it's just linking to not the shortcode, but just the text of [email]

Any ideas?

Template for Profiles

@adamtootle @TurqDevDesign

How's it going guys? Been awhile.

I cannot remember the outcome of this, but if I want the individual staff pages to load using a specific template, how do I do that? Wasn't it by creating a template and titling it something specific?

Thanks,
David

Default Dashboard Sort Is By ID, But Should Be By Title

So in the Admin Dashboard when listing All Staff it appears that the default sort order it by the ID when it should really be by Title. I'll fix and submit a PR.

Better support for sorting

To support orderby custom field (meta_value* in wordpress)
Example:
[staff-directory cat=11 template=custom_1 order=asc orderby=meta_value_num meta_key=my_sort_field]

Just forward 'meta_key'
staff_directory_shortcode.php.txt

Problem with custom template.

Staff directory resets custom template after disabling and enabling the plugin.

1. installed plugin and enabled it.
2. added content.
3. created custom template in template1 field. saved.
4. disabled plugin.
5. enabled plugin again.
6. template1 was reset to default.

orderby=name not working

Plugin version: 1.1.2
WordPress version: 4.7.5

I created a custom detail field with the template shortcode [order] in order to sort the items by the given number in this field. But the items are ordered by their ID in ascending (or order=DESC => descending) order, the plugin seems to ignore orderby=name.

Full shortcode: [staff-directory cat=3 template=custom_1 orderby=order order=ASC]

AJAX Type Search

I'm not sure if this is a good location or the appropriate location, but something that I think would break this plugin into a mainstream Employee plugin would be the ability to display "instant type" search results.

Something like this: http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_ajax_livesearch.asp

Custom templates missing after upgrade to 1.1.0

Our site broke after updating the staff-directory plugin to 1.1.0. I did the following to restore our site:

• backed up a copy of the staff-directory plugin folder
• deleted the plugin folder
• logged into the site
• installed 1.0.3 from the Github tag

This got our site back up and running, but all of our custom directory list templates seem to be gone. I upgraded to PHP7 per issue #13 and upgraded the plugin to 1.1.0 again, but they are still missing.

Where should these custom templates be "stored" (e.g. database table, folder, etc.) and is there a non-catastrophic reason they wouldn't be showing up?

[BIO] tag removes HTML

I have rewrote some of our pages and included [BIO] on a few of the templates I've created and it's apparently removing the HTML or more specifically the line breaks <br /> from the biography which is causing the entire bio to be a long run on paragraph.

Thanks in advance.

Optional [staff-directory] title parameter

Hello, in our use case of your great plugin we have the need to insert a title over every table generated by the [staff-directory] shortcode.

For example we need to dynamically implement a layout like this:

title
table1

title
table2

[no title and no table when table is empty]

Is there a way to do this in a clean way? At the moment we have overwritten the class StaffDirectoryShortcode supporting a new title argument but it will be a good idea to have this feature in the official release.

Add Staff Category as an Admin Listing Filter

Would be handy during the management of the staff list in the admin dashboard listing to be able to filter the list by category.

Amending URL Base '/Staff'

Hello! Not sure if this is the correct forum for this request. Feel free to point me in the direction of some WP / PHP documentation outlining the process if it's not a unique change for the plugin.

I'm wondering how to change the start of the url from "staff". Love the plugin, love what it does but in our specific scenario we want to use the word "stations" (as in Radio, TV stations).

At this stage I don't mind of the admin side still shows everything as "Staff", I'd just love to get the URL swapped!

Image Cropping

Hello, I saw you said post here for issues that you might be able to look at.

I have two when it comes to images.

1. It crops the images and cuts off heads. Not sure what it's using to crop the images, but it doesn't look good.
2. Images keep turning themselves. Thumbnails are turning sideways for some of the users staff picture.

Thanks for your help,
David

Latest Update 1.1.0 Broken

Evening,
Just writing for a few issues with the latest release. I loved the idea of single author pages with biographies, but it failed.

The latest update created issues with JQUERY items as well as broke other custom_post_type layouts. I saw users saying they were receiving a 500 error. I wasn't able to duplicate that.

I'm not sure if it's because of it killing layout items, but also shortcodes for Staff Directory plugin did not function any longer after update.
