Hey SS'ers,

My current dilemma seems to be something I don't exactly even know how to search for it much less know if its even been done before. I know there could be other ways to display what I'm trying to display, but that doesn't satisfy the curiosity of how to do it if I ever needed it, which I do.

For example I have a profile page that displays all member data in a sort of a directory for an intranet. Some data has been omitted because its not allowed to be seen by all staff. Okay. These members are of course dataobjects sitting in the database.

Now there are certain departments where those certain staff members are working in, and I would put there name down as part of that department.

Now, I WANT to be able to hyperlink said name to a matching member dataobject so that when clicked on it brings up the profile page or the directory display page to display all the data of that one member.

Does anyone know how to go about this?

The only alternative I know of is to loop the member objects details and display them on each department page with their image and have no linking, and leave the searching of the directory as a separate thing altogether.

Thanks in advanced.

Checkout custom Controllers. You'll be able to customise a url to point to a specific function like renderMember() with something like mysite.com/member/$ID

inside renderMember if you use $this->renderWith( ) you'll be able to control the display
