Rosters can be used if you wish to list information about the members of whatever it is you are developing your application for. Once again, it works in the same way that your typical list does, linking to a page information about whatever the heading describes. In this case, the page contains the member's basic bio information, including a photo of the member. The form to create and maintain a roster page can be seen below:
The "Name" field once again acts as a drop-down menu before you click on the "Add" button, where you will be able to select each roster profile from a list. Once you do add a new item to the roster, it will of course bring up a blank form. Skip the "Name" field for now. It will be automatically filled in when you enter information into the "First Name" and "Last Name" fields. The "Username" field is where you will put in the information about the member's WSU portal log-in name, and the "Email" field is where you will put in the member's requested email address, whether it be a Weber one or one that is used elsewhere.
When you click on the "Choose File" button in the "Photo" field, the following "Open" dialog window will appear:
Use this window to find the photo you will use for your member's roster profile. Once you have found the photo, select it and then click on the "Open" button. The name of the selected file will appear beside the "Choose File" button after the "Open" dialog window disappears, indicating that this is the photo you have selected to use. You will need to save the item in order to make the photo appear where the black box is located, however.
There is also a size restriction that you will need to be aware of while choosing the photos you wish to use. You cannot upload a file greater than 60 KB, and a 200H x 150W dimension size is all that will fit without the image becoming distorted. You must also be aware that the file must have a .jpg, .jpeg or .png file type.
The "Bio" field is simply a text box, though not in the same sense as the "Unstructured Content" fields and forms have been. It is only used for entering text, and nothing more. You may enter whatever you want here.
The "Category" field is where you will create the category header that each member will be grouped under on the roster page. For example, the "Administrators" and "Developers" categories in the screenshot of the roster page above were created using this field. The "Order" field next to it is where you will enter the number corresponding to what order you wish the category to appear on the page.
The "Position" field is where you will enter the member's title within each category. This title will appear below the name of the member in the list, and will also appear beside the member's name on the profile page. The "Order" field next to it is where you will enter the number corresponding to what order you wish each member with this position to be displayed within each category.
Once you have filled out each field, you will be able to click on the "Save" button. Once you have saved your profile, you will be able to "Edit" or "Remove" the profile. As always, don't forget to refresh the homepage of the application to go in and view your changes.
NOTE: Always remember to enter the same information in the "Category" field and the "Order" field for every member in the same category to appear as such.
