Looking to put together a nice Members page for your site, but don’t want to write a bunch of custom HTML to make it look good?

Just use the {{< member >}} shortcode!

Setup

This setup is necessary for both the member shortcode and the authorbox feature!

Create a data file for each member in your site’s data/members directory with keys Name, Img (optional), URL (optional), Position, and Bio.

The URL field should indicate that particular member’s home page, either on the same site (if they have a profile page) or on a separate site.

If a user doesn’t have an Img key, the default photo will be used instead.

An example data file, to be found under data/members/shadow53.yml:

# This example uses YAML Name : "Michael Bryant" Img : "/path/to/picture/of/michael.jpg" Position : "Awesome Theme Designer" URL : https://mnbryant.com Bio : | I'm Michael, also known as Shadow53. This bio section is intended to have a small paragraph's worth of text in it so it takes up about as much space on the screen as the profile picture, because I think that looks nice. Lorem Ipsum. Foo, bar, baz, and all that.

Usage

Just use the shortcode wherever you want the member entry to appear on the page. Syntax is where "Member Name" is replaced with the value of the Name field in the data file. So, using the example above:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque convallis sollicitudin arcu sed
volutpat. Suspendisse ante erat, elementum eget orci a, consectetur condimentum est. Sed leo ipsum,
laoreet eu rhoncus id, posuere ut sem. Pellentesque blandit, tortor sit amet lobortis tristique, sem
felis pellentesque orci, vel interdum lacus magna et est. In fringilla facilisis ultrices. Maecenas
at bibendum tellus. Vivamus imperdiet volutpat lacus, a tempor enim rutrum at.

{{< member "Michael Bryant" >}}

Sed tristique ex eros. Donec vestibulum nunc sed mattis efficitur. Mauris mollis libero quis tellus
interdum, id venenatis dolor gravida. Praesent dignissim tempor blandit. Duis ut nisi eget arcu
molestie dapibus. Cras viverra magna id tincidunt ultrices. Nam id cursus diam, in ultricies sem. Ut
convallis eget metus non feugiat. Integer elementum consequat risus vitae lobortis. Curabitur
dapibus, lectus nec vulputate laoreet, leo elit gravida odio, ac dapibus nisl ex vel justo. Maecenas
ornare lobortis ante nec blandit.
