How to create person profile pages and people listings on ND Theme CMS v4.

People profiles use the Person Page template. Listings usually live on a normal page (often Page with side-nav) with a Person List widget that finds child Person Pages.

Plan the people section

1. Create a parent page for the directory (landing). Any standard content template works; many sites use Page with side-nav.
2. Create each profile as a child of that parent with template Person Page.
3. Tag profiles in Page-Meta if you will filter lists by tag.
4. On the landing page, add Person List (Grid) or Person List (Stacked) where you want the directory to appear.

Create a Person Page

1. Create a child page under your people landing page.
2. Set the template to Person Page.
3. Set the page title to the person’s name (this is the main heading).
4. Fill the placeholders below.
5. Open Page → Page Meta and set:
   • Tags — for filtered directories (for example People, or role tags you create in Page-Tags)
   • Preview image / image alt / summary caption — used on list cards
6. Save (changes are live — see Getting-Started).

Person Page placeholders

Placeholder	Typical content
Person Title	Job title or role (often Simple Text)
Profile Picture	Photo (often Image (single) — see Media)
Address	Office or mailing address (often Simple Text)
Phone	Phone number (often Phone Number)
Email	Contact email (often Email Link)
About	Biography and longer content (often Text or NDT content widgets)

Prefer NDT widgets in About when they cover what you need. See Widgets.

Person list widgets

Person List (Grid)

Editor name: Person List (Grid)

• Finds child pages of the current page that use the Person Page template
• Optionally filters by Page-Tags selected on the widget (matched against each person’s Page Meta tags)
• Hides pages with Archive archive now set (see Archiving)
• Sort options: name A→Z / Z→A, or position A→Z / Z→A

Person List (Stacked)

Editor name: Person List (Stacked)

Same discovery and filter rules as the grid list; different layout (stacked rows instead of a grid).

Configure a list

1. Edit the people landing page.
2. Add Person List (Grid) or Person List (Stacked) to a content placeholder.
3. Optional Title for the block heading.
4. Optional Tags — only people with those Page Meta tags appear.
5. Choose Order.
6. Save.

If you use tags for filtering, create and assign them consistently via Page-Tags and Page-Meta.

Person List Item

Editor name: Person List Item

A manual card widget (name, image, title, summary). It is not tied to a Person Page.

Use it when you need a one-off entry that should not have its own profile page. For a real directory of staff pages, prefer Person Pages plus Grid/Stacked lists.

Tips

• Keep Person Pages as children of the page that holds the list widget.
• Archived person pages drop out of Grid/Stacked lists automatically when archive now is on.
• For side navigation next to a people section, see Navigation-and-Search.
• Upload clear photos and fill alt text — see Media.
