    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 originally 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, 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

    Try the plugin without installing it yourself.
