Ok, so I could:
- create a topic called "Biographies" and note the number for it
- manually put that number in the topic field for each sales person using
mysql
- create an article for each sales person under that topic
- put the name of each person's article in the homepage field
- use one of the get_person functions to retrieve the list of sales people
- loop through the list, displaying their contact information from the
person object
- use get_by_name (topic_id, homepage) to retrieve the appropriate article
- display everything nice and neat
Is this more complicated than necessary?
