Single Staff Member page

Shameless bump..

goodness, I didn’t think I was asking too much..

OK, so I have tried to help myself, but it still isn’t working.

I have created the single-staff-member.php in my themes folder, and pasted the following code in (including the existing code from single.php):

<?php
		global $post;
		$custom 	= get_post_custom();
		$name 		= get_the_title();
		$name_slug	= basename(get_permalink());
		$title 		= $custom["_staff_member_title"][0];
		$email 		= $custom["_staff_member_email"][0];
		$phone 		= $custom["_staff_member_phone"][0];
		$fax 		= $custom["_staff_member_fax"][0];
		$bio 		= $custom["_staff_member_bio"][0];
		$prof 		= $custom["_staff_member_prof"][0];
		$fb_url		= $custom["_staff_member_fb"][0];
		$tw_url		= 'https://www.twitter.com/' . $custom["_staff_member_tw"][0];
		$li_url		= $custom["_staff_member_li"][0];
		if(has_post_thumbnail()){

			$photo_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
			$photo = '<img class="staff-member-photo" src="'.$photo_url.'" alt = "'.$title.'">';
		}else{
			$photo_url = '';
			$photo = '';
		}
		$email_mailto = '<a class="staff-member-email" href="mailto:'.antispambot( $email ).'" title="Email '.$name.'">'.antispambot( $email ).'</a>';
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="wrap">
		<div id="content">

		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();

			get_template_part( 'loop', 'single' );

		endwhile; ?>

		<?php endif; ?>

		<?php comments_template(); ?>

	</div>

		<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
	</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

I have then changed the ‘Staff Loop Template’ to the following:

[staff_loop]
<div class="staff-member-container">
<a href="https://www.mini-3.co.uk/internal/wp/[staff-name-slug]"> [staff-name-formatted]
<img class="staff-member-photo" src="[staff-photo-url]" alt="[staff-name] : [staff-position]"></a>
 <div class="staff-member-info-wrap">
 [staff-position-formatted]
 </div>
 </div>
[/staff_loop]
<div style="clear:both;"></div>

And the Staff Page CSS to:

/*  div wrapped around entire staff list  */
div.staff-member-listing {

}

/*  div wrapped around each staff member  */
div.staff-member {
	padding-bottom: 2em;
	border-bottom: thin dotted #aaa;
}

/*  "Even" staff member  */
div.staff-member.even {

}

/*  "Odd" staff member  */
div.staff-member.odd {
	margin-top: 2em;
}

/*  Last staff member  */
div.staff-member.last {
	padding-bottom: 0;
	border: none;
}

/*  Wrap around staff info  */
.staff-member-info-wrap {
	float: left;
	width: 70%;
	margin-left: 3%;
}

/*  [staff-bio-formatted]  */
div.staff-member-bio {

}

/*  p tags within [staff-bio-formatted]  */
div.staff-member-bio p {

}

/*  [staff-photo]  */
img.staff-member-photo {
	float: left;
}

/*  [staff-email-link]  */
.staff-member-email {

}

/*  [staff-name-formatted]  */
div.staff-member-listing h3.staff-member-name {
	margin: 0;
}

/*  [staff-position-formatted]  */
div.staff-member-listing h4.staff-member-position {
	margin: 0;
	font-style: italic;
}

/* Clearfix for div.staff-member */
div.staff-member:after {
	content: "";
	display: block;
	clear: both;
}

/* Clearfix for <= IE7 */
* html div.staff-member { height: 1%; }
div.staff-member { display: block; }

When I navigate to the single person page, it looks the same as it did before.
If I remove the code that is in the single.php from the single-staff-member.php and then refresh the staff member page, it is blank. So at least I know the changes have affected something.

Any help to get this last bit sorted would be amazing!

I’m having the same problem.

Can anyone help us?

Same issue! driving me nuts. The only possible solution I can think of right now is creating a group for each individual but…. that is just ridiculous.

I was hoping we would have received some input from the creator by now ??

It is clearly possible, we just need a few pointers!

In a 3 monthago post, the creator offered a possible update later using an ID to generate the single page…

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/show-individual-member-of-staff-from-list-by-id?replies=9
Excerpt:
“for example: to show the list you use [simple-staff-list]

maybe something like [simple-staff-list id=”1″]”

That would be perfect. I am trying to allow professors be selected and searched (SEO) on their own away from their groups.

Mintymurray’s attempt is close, but this might help more:
These calls get all the fields, but they can be placed in the entry-content area of your single-staff-member.php template.

I copy/pasted my page.php (using twenty thirteen theme) and used your variable setting, then echoed out those values in the content area.

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying staff member pages
**/

get_header(); ?>

	<div id="primary" class="content-area">
		<div id="content" class="site-content" role="main">

			<?php /* The loop */ ?>
			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
					<header class="entry-header">
						<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail() && ! post_password_required() ) : ?>
						<div class="entry-thumbnail">
							<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
						</div>
						<?php endif; ?>

						<h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
					</header><!-- .entry-header -->

					<div class="entry-content">
		<?
                //GET THE VARIABLE CONTENT FROM STAFF LIST
		global $post;
		$custom 	= get_post_custom();
		$name 		= get_the_title();
		$name_slug	= basename(get_permalink());
		$title 		= $custom["_staff_member_title"][0];
		$email 		= $custom["_staff_member_email"][0];
		$phone 		= $custom["_staff_member_phone"][0];
		$fax 		= $custom["_staff_member_fax"][0];
		$bio 		= $custom["_staff_member_bio"][0];
		$prof 		= $custom["_staff_member_prof"][0];
		$fb_url		= $custom["_staff_member_fb"][0];
		if ($custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]) { $tw_url = 'https://www.twitter.com/' . $custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]; }
		$li_url		= $custom["_staff_member_li"][0];
		if(has_post_thumbnail()){

			$photo_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
			$photo = '<img class="staff-member-photo" src="'.$photo_url.'" alt = "'.$title.'">';
		}else{
			$photo_url = '';
			$photo = '';
		}
		$email_mailto = '<a class="staff-member-email" href="mailto:'.antispambot( $email ).'" title="Email '.$name.'">'.antispambot( $email ).'</a>';
?>
	<div id="wrap">
		<div id="content">
<?
//HERE ECHO OUT THOSE FIELDS, ONLY IF THEY EXIST
if ($title){ echo 'Title: '.$title.'<br />'; }
if ($email){ echo 'Email: <a href="'.$email.'">'.$email.'</a><br />'; }
if ($phone){ echo 'Phone: '.$phone.'<br />'; }
if ($fax){ echo 'Fax: '.$fax.'<br />'; }
if ($bio){ echo 'Biography: '.$bio.'<br />'; }
if ($fb_url){ echo 'Facebook: '.$fb_url.'<br />'; }
if ($tw_url){ echo 'Twitter: '.$tw_url.'<br />'; }
?>

		<?php comments_template(); ?>

	</div>
						<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-links"><span class="page-links-title">' . __( 'Pages:', 'twentythirteen' ) . '</span>', 'after' => '</div>', 'link_before' => '<span>', 'link_after' => '</span>' ) ); ?>
					</div><!-- .entry-content -->

					<footer class="entry-meta">
						<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'twentythirteen' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
					</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->
				</article><!-- #post -->

				<?php comments_template(); ?>
			<?php endwhile; ?>

		</div><!-- #content -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

This shows the name, the image as a thumbnail, and all fields if they exist.

jilleryfregan you’re wonderful!

I’ve been looking for a post on this for weeks that had a solution that actually worked.

Thank you

Jacqui

Hi jilleryfregan, thanks for sharing your input on this topic.
I’m looking for the same thing: just to display the staff info on single person page,
but I’m not entirelly sure what to do with the code you posted.
I know where to place it and such, but I’m not that good with PHP – could you please just point me in the right direction? Do I just copy-paste the solution you provided into the said template?
Thanks in advance!

Hi @nostro –
It’s been a while since I was doing this, but let me try and clarify…

Make single-staff-member.php file (or if there already is one, I forget?)
copy in whatever header and footer stuff from the page.php template of your theme so it all looks the same.

Where the page content is (<?php the_content(); ?>) – delete that.

In it’s place, enter the code:

<?
//GET THE VARIABLE CONTENT FROM STAFF LIST
global $post;
$custom = get_post_custom();
$name = get_the_title();
$name_slug = basename(get_permalink());
$title = $custom["_staff_member_title"][0];
$email = $custom["_staff_member_email"][0];
$phone = $custom["_staff_member_phone"][0];
$fax = $custom["_staff_member_fax"][0];
$bio = $custom["_staff_member_bio"][0];
$prof = $custom["_staff_member_prof"][0];
$fb_url = $custom["_staff_member_fb"][0];
if ($custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]) { $tw_url = 'https://www.twitter.com/' . $custom["_staff_member_tw"][0]; }
		$li_url		= $custom["_staff_member_li"][0];
		if(has_post_thumbnail()){
			$photo_url = wp_get_attachment_url( get_post_thumbnail_id() );
			$photo = '<img class="staff-member-photo" src="'.$photo_url.'" alt = "'.$title.'">';
		}else{
			$photo_url = '';
			$photo = '';
		}
		$email_mailto = '<a class="staff-member-email" href="mailto:'.antispambot( $email ).'" title="Email '.$name.'">'.antispambot( $email ).'</a>';

//HERE ECHO OUT THOSE FIELDS, ONLY IF THEY EXIST
if ($title){ echo 'Title: '.$title.'<br />'; }
if ($email){ echo 'Email: <a href="'.$email.'">'.$email.'</a><br />'; }
if ($phone){ echo 'Phone: '.$phone.'<br />'; }
if ($fax){ echo 'Fax: '.$fax.'<br />'; }
if ($bio){ echo 'Biography: '.$bio.'<br />'; }
if ($fb_url){ echo 'Facebook: '.$fb_url.'<br />'; }
if ($tw_url){ echo 'Twitter: '.$tw_url.'<br />'; }
?>

If you post back any issues I’ll try again to help out.

Thanks for posting again @jilleryfregan – good to see people helping out! I can verify that single-staff-member.php does not exist in the plugin, it has to be created.

I’m working on a more elegant solution for this in the future but what you posted should definitely do the trick.
