I'm not getting a lot of responses to my questions, but I'm still trying ... 

Here is something on which I am working, and would like some ideas as to how best to approach it.


I've got a list of people with the following information about each person:
  • Name
  • Title
  • Education
  • Short (one paragraph) summary
  • Photo
Each person also can be assigned to one or more categories.  All of this information is to be stored in a table. 

I'd like to be able to provide an easy way to maintain the table, so I'm thinking of using the UDT module.


Here is what I want to do:

On a page, I'd like to be able to generate a list of people in a category, with names and titles.  Something like:

          John Doe
          President

          Tom Jones
          Vice-President

          Alexander Hamilton
          Treasurer

I'd like for each name to be a clickable link.  When clicked, I'd like to pop up a small window that has all of the information about the person.  This would be a business card type of display.

----------
So ... if you were going to do this, what would you use?

Joe, I almost think you would have to use UDT for this, or even ListX.  I'm aware of no other module that would get near to a solution for you.

Sorry.

Yes I would look at the r2i suite of modules - OWS has just been released and looks very powerful, i've recently done a video interview for Dec issue where a company have used r2i modules and they have created a really powerful saas application.

I woke up about 4am with the notion of using the Smart-Thinker User Profile and User Groups modules.  I'm using Mandeeps' LiveContent quite a bit in the site.  I'll use it to pop up the profile.  I'll let you know if this works.

You may even want to look at the venexus software collection, there is an example of user profiles etc. using their software on www.imvivo.com - look at the business directory and also register to see how all the modules interact with each other.
