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 originally developed for ParkietenVilla.nl to show a directory of names to name your budgies.
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:
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, simple import and export functionality is also supported through .csv-files.
This plugin is also tested compatible with:
* the popular Members plugin which makes role permissions easy
* Relevanssi plugin, the better search plugin
