I’ve spent the last couple of years hacking various sites int WordPress, but I’ve been jumping through hoops trying to accomplish what Pods has let me do in a 3 very quick tutorials.

Thank you so much.

Thanks for the quick response!

I’ll give it my best! I’m definitely a designer and front-end developer first and foremost. Would you be able to recommend anyone familiar with Pods that could write an example of this for me? Paid work, of course.

Hi Lee,

That’s no problem, although you’ll have to get a bit creative here. What I would suggest is pulling all of the team members and instead of outputting data as per the example above, saving that data to a new associative array. From there, you’d loop through your new array when dumping out the list of team members, and when you’re on the ‘content’ side you’d loop through again and only output the applicable team member. One way to do that would be to simply use a conditional that compares pods_url_variable(-1); to the array key in which you’ve stored the member slug. Does that make sense?

Very glad you’re finding the tutorials useful!

Jonathan,

How would I combine both the list and the view on one page? In other words, if you wanted to list the team members in a side nav on the left and display the current team member within the main content to the right.

BTW, stumbling across your 6 part series is the only reason I even gave Pods a chance and it’s doubtful I’ll do it any other way. Excellent resource you’ve shared here!

I'm actually a big fan of using TimThumb for image resizing on the fly, that way I don't have to keep track of various image sizes as I develop. Also comes in handy when a redesign comes up.
