  1. Determine which way to build to combine Deacons/Priests with new staff category.
  2. New ACF section needed on pages to add staff to a page.
Ryan Ross, Developer at Diocesan
1) I determined that using the DPI Modules as the vehicle was the simpler approach since it already has the association to church/school built. I'm adapting a strategy used in other DPI Module instances, and updating/creating a staff CPT instead of a page.

This will allow us to conveniently tap into ACF Post Object relationship for connecting staff to a page/office, without altering existing priest/deacon/religious  functionality.

Proof of concept: Individual Staff https://dioceseofvenice.diocesanweb.org/staff/william-l-adams/

Staff on a page: https://dioceseofvenice.diocesanweb.org/just-a-page/

To complete the component, I'll just need to determine what information is needed to be shown on a page (ie phone number, email address, title)

As for searchable staff, I believe this isn't much different than how I did Clergy for DOSP that covered both Priests & Deacons.   In the case of Venice, its a few more "types" but concepts are the same.

If you haven't done this can you add it to your to-do list.

As in polish it up and move it to the live site?  I'll add that to the to-do list.
Gary Smith, Web Department Director at Diocesan
Can you go over it on Monday w/Blake and Veronica. If you guys are happy with it (it works and meets their needs) then let Rogert know when & how to look it over and we'll push it if he's happy.

Sending an email asking these questions:
  • Do they want images for staff on pages?
  • Right now, they show Name, Title 1, Title 2, email. Do you want other fields (phone, fax, biography,  etc) to display as well? 
  • Do the staff on pages link to a single staff page? (Similar to clergy)
  • Search - I know we are combining religious/clergy but does DOV want an ALL staff/clergy search page?
