Using Teline IV template.

I would like to have a biography/article setup as follows:

master page – summary list of all people, by name

Whenever I click on a name, the biography page for that person shows up.

The catch is, once the biography page shows up, I would like all articles on the site that reference that person to appear in summary format below the biography.

Is this possible using the existing components? Thoughts on approach?

It seems to me that you would need/want to utilize a Content Creation Kit (CCK) for something like this.

The two that come to mind are K2[/url] and ZOO[/url].

CCK? Ok. How many people on here use K2? Seems to be quite popular. What are the main advantages?

Thanks. I see on the reviews that there have been issues with K2 and Teline IV. What has been the experience of others?

One of the primary issues that most have had is that the JA Devs have not (yet) updated Teline J1.7 with K2 9as it is within the J1.5 version). So, many of the “complaints/issues” stem from some not wanting to have to install/configure the K2 component on their own.

Other than that, my suggestion would be to look through the Teline forum sections – both regular and “solved issue” sections – and read through any other issues others have experienced . . . and, hopefully, have since resolved. You can certainly, also, post a reply to any given thread asking about the particular issue and, if solved, how they resolved it.
