staff-directory

As far as staff list plugins their are very few. Most of the plugins are terrible, this one however sticks out of the lot due to it’s flexibility, unfortuately the flexibilty is limited as it uses the postmeta table to store staff information which makes ordering and editing much harder than what it could be on a dedicated table, their is no official documentation which would be more helpful than a changelog. And their are very few comments in the codes making modifying it rather painful and tedious. Plugin seems far from being complete and achieving it’s full potential. I do however hope that this plugin will be updated in a near future in which I’ll probably modify my rating.

This plug-in looks simple, but it’s quite flexible. The only big problem is that it generates only staff lists but no individual pages for each staff member with all the custom fields. This means that you have to publish all the details in the list view which is not suitable for larger staff. And it causes problems in combination with full text search as well.
