CA - Team Members


The individual Team Member pages, that are accessed via the /team/ page, are controlled via a custom post type within Wordpress.

Accessing the Team Members

To access the Team Member pages within the CMS you need to go to “Team Members” on the left-hand menu after logging in to the CMS:
 

From here you can view a list of all the Team Member pages, as well as add new ones, in the same way that you can with Static Content.

From the main Team Members page in the CMS you can hover over an individual item and you will get the same kind of menu as with Static Content:
 

You can edit, delete, and view the item from there.

Adding a new Team Member

To add a new Team Member, either go to “Team Members” on the left-hand menu and click “Add New” in the sub-menu, or go to the main Team Members page and click the “Add New” button:
   

Adding a Title/Name

You can add a title to the Team Member, this should be the name of the Team Member, as you want it displayed on the front-end of the website, this will also be used to generate the URL for the page:
 

Adding a Description

You can add a description of the Team Member within the main content editor, this is displayed next to the team member’s image on their Team Member page:
 

Adding an Image

You can add an image to the Team Member, to be displayed on the main Team page, as well as the individual Team Member page by clicking “Set featured image” on the right-hand side:
 
You can then upload and/or select an image as per standard Wordpress practices.
NOTE - This image should be a maximum of 320px wide, as that is the size it is displayed on the individual Team Member page.

Adding the Custom Fields

There are several custom fields used by the individual Team Member pages, in order to pass through non-standard data to the front-end.
To add a custom field, select it from the “Name” drop-down within the “Custom Fields” section, then set a value of it, and then click the “Add Custom Field” button.
 
 
Here are the custom fields that can/should be used as part of an individual Team Member page:
- has-own-page: (Required) This should be set to a value of “yes”, as this denotes that the page can be access from the front-end. If this is not set, you will be redirected to the home page when trying to access the page’s URL.

- ca-job-title: (Optional) This is the job title displayed on the main Team page under the Team Member’s name, as well as at the top of the individual Team Member page.
   

- ca-team-order: (Optional) This is the order that the Team Members are listed on the main Team page. This should be set to a number starting at 1.

- ca-extra-featured-image: (Optional) This is the URL of a secondary image to be shown on the individual Team Member page.
 

- ca-team-quality-1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6): (Optional) These 6 fields are used to display the “Qualities” of the individual Team Member, and are displayed at the bottom of the page.
 
The value for these fields should be in JSON format, with “text” and “image” entries, the first being the text displayed for the “quality” and the second being the URL for the image.

The value must be in the following format:
{"text":"TEXT TO SHOW","image":"IMAGE URL "}
Simply replace “TEXT TO SHOW” with the text to be displayed and replace “IMAGE URL” with the URL of the image.

NOTE – The border and shadow are handled by the website, so you don’t need to add those to the images. Also, the images should be 116px x 116px.
