List

Adding a people list to a section

The people list content type organises each entry into a list that runs vertically down your page.

You can add range of details to each item, the layout of the contact details will change according to how much content you insert in each one. 

Each list can include an unlimited number of entries, and you can add multiple lists to each page.

People list example

Give it a try

1. Add a hidden sub-section called PeopleList

1. Add a hidden sub-section (child) called PeopleList (Case Sensitive and must be spelt correctly), directly beneath the section where your people list is to appear.

2. Create a second hidden sub-section beneath your PeopleList section. Sub section structureThe name for this second sub-section MUST NOT be PeopleList but can be anything else to help you identify which list the people belong to e.g. 'Visiting staff'.

NB: If you want multiple groups of people in your section you can create extra sub-sections below the PeopleList section to organise each different group.

NB: If you want to include separate lists of people on a single page, you'll need to add a People list widget for each list you want to add, making sure that each widget links (via the 'Find additional items' field) to a separate hidden sub-section beneath your 'PeopleList' section.
