Directory Related Short Codes

There are several ways that CMS pages can reference information in the UH Hilo Phone Directory. These include Directory Tooltips, Directory Cards, and Contact Blocks.

Tooltips

To find an individual's directory ID, use the directory tooltip lookup button, with the . This will insert the [​[DIRECTORY id=123]] shortcode for the matched individuals. To link to an office, please View the available office abbreviations.

The link-text attribute is optional. If none is provided, the full name from the directory will be displayed. Sometimes, it may be preferred to refer to an individual by position, or to use a shortened version of their name.

Without link-text, a persons name is displayed exactly as in the directory. Provided link text will show instead of the directory name

Contact Blocks

Directory Cards

Many faculty or staff office pages are setup to display contact information that is found in the UH Hilo Phone Directory. This is easily done in the CMS page using the DIRECTORY-CARDS shortcode. The shortcode pulls staff information for a department or a specific group of individuals from the directory.

To showcase only a single person, append the short=1 attribute.

Example:
[​[DIRECTORY-CARDS ids="1496" short=1]]

Organizational Directory Codes

Occasionally, the [​[DIRECTORY ]] or [​[CONTACT-BLOCK ]]shortcode is used to reference an office, instead of an individual, in the phone directory. To do that, use the Affiliation Code from the table below instead of a numeric ID.
