Setting up a member/user directory in WordPress
By Bradley Charbonneau | Filed under Help, Tutorials, WordPress
I’ve had several requests to help out with how I put together the member/user directories on a few sites (e.g. BNI Embarcadero). I recently did another tutorial (more links to code on that page) showing how to use the UserExtra forms from the user’s perspective, but this is a tutorial that shows how to set that up behind the scenes in WordPress. Here’s the video tutorial below.

On your BNI roster page (http://www.bniembarcadero.com/roster/), you have an image / photo associated with each user. How did you get that photo associated with the user and get it into the user profile?
UserExtra doesn’t allow an image field type, so how did you enable the user to upload that? Also, how did you display that in your members directory page?
Help!

Hi thanks very much for the video. I went to look at the ajf site as well, as I’m working on something quite similar for a group of textile artists. I clicked on the album link and I thought you’d want to know there’s currently a php warning re the userextra plugin at the bottom of the page.

Fiona D: Thanks for the note about the error. I’ve seen it, too. I’m looking to hopefully use something more “advanced” than userextra/usermeta for a future overhaul of the AJF site, but I hope I can import the extra fields into that other plugin (I’ve seen some new “extra fields” plugins, but I haven’t worked with them yet and certainly don’t have anything working that will then display it all nicely on a roster page as I have working with userextra/usermeta. Thanks again.

Implementation of a user directory by adding code into a new page (through the backend interface) seems to not work using your tutorial. Is it because Im using 2.7 and alot has changed since you did this tutorial?
Im confused.

I really enjoyed reading about the Member/User Directory. I was wondering if you can set up different groups or chapters. I have a computer networking group that needs at least 5 chapters to start (ie: Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, etc.). I was wondering if it is possible if you can do this.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

Hi Matt,
Thanks for writing. It’s funny, that post (and method!) is so old I don’t dare try to recreate it. I’m also going to need to do a new member directory for another site soon and I’d like to look into more, uh, “modern” methods! The main things I’d like are: (1) have login fields be more a part of the regular login stuff (where Name, password, etc. are) and (2) have photos be part of the system (they’re currently using something completely separate), and (3) well, I’m sure I’ll find a better way to do all of it! The hardest part is really that Member Roster-type page that lists them all. On that page, I’d also like to make it have options: just a simple list, a list w/o images, list with images, etc.
Well, looks like I’ve got my work cut out for me. But I’ll update here when I’ve got it going.
Thanks again for writing.
