Hello guys,

I’m a beginner with EE so my question may seems a little trivial but I wasn’t able to find help in the user guide or a tutorial for it.

It’s a general question about the templating system :

let’s say I create a “team” page, meaning a page which contains the list of the team member, and for each of the member I want a personal page. This page is not the index page.

So I have the CSS and HTLM for both the “team” page and the “team member profile” page. I also created a channel called “team members” which contains informations about each team member as entries.

So here my questions :

- How do I define different templates for specific entries (“team member profile” page) the and for the “container” of the entries ( the “team” page)
- How do I sort them using a specific field of the entries, for example sort them by “field” ( i.e. creative, management etc…) ?

Once again it may seems trivial, or maybe it is already explained somewhere else but I wasn’t able to find it. So may I ask you to help me or to point me in the right direction ?

Thank you all,
Gautier

Hi, Gautier.

When I do this sort of thing, I create a channel for the team members. Then I have a template group called team, and a single entry template called info (You can call it whatever you like, I just chose that name.)

So I build a link on the team page (team/index template) to team/info/{url_title} for each of the team members.

So Sally Smith’s page would be:

http://example.com/index.php/team/info/sally-smith

Inside of the team/info template you have the exp:channel:entries loop with a limit=“1” - and EE “sees” what entry to show based on the third segment, which is the url_title.

As far as sorting by a custom field - see this page in the EEDpcs

Does that help?
