Name Directory free WordPress plugin
Description
Name Directory free WordPress plugin
Name Directory: Build your own glossary!
This plugin adds name/term directories (glossaries) to your WordPress installation.
The output on your website is like a glossary/index, including a search function.
This plugin supports multiple directories in one WordPress installation.
I recommend you to take a look at the screenshots, they illustrate more than words.
The Name Directory plugin was orginally developed for ParkietenVilla.nl to show a directory of names to name your budgies.
Create multiple directories and customize them!
You can create multiple directories with this plugin.
Every directory can be embedded with a very simple shortcode which you can just copy-and-paste
in your own pages and posts. Every directory has a few configuration options that customize
the layout and functionality of the directory:
Show/Hide title
Show/Hide description
Enter the subject of the directory (i.e.: movies, birds, countries, names)
Show/Hide suggestion form
Show/Hide submitter name
Show/Hide search function (searches names/titles and description)
Show/Hide a horizontal rule between the entries
Show/Hide all entries when the user has not chosen an index-letter yet
Show/Hide the newest entries (and choose an amount of newest entries to show)
Choose the amount of columns to display
Whether to jump to the name directory when a visitor is using the search box (for onepage websites)
When you embed a directory, you can configure it to start with a letter of your choosing. E.g.: start on letter J.
You can limit the amount of words in the description (and display a “Read more” link which reveals the rest of the text
The administration view of this plugin has the familiar look and feel of (the rest of) the WordPress Administration panel.
I have done my best to enable some AJAX-features in the administration panel, so you can work efficiently while adding new entries.
Since v1.7 and v1.8, import and export functionality is also supported through .csv-files.
Embed the directory in the WordPress default search engine
When you go to the General Settings of the plugin, you can enable WordPress search compatibility.
This will include the pages who have a matching entry of Name Directory in the search results
