Joomla动态文章内容

Question

I am new to Joomla, I am currently trying to set up a information portal for a university which will have information regarding all the faculty members. The information to be displayed would have information like Subjects they teach, total experience, phone number, email id, address, etc etc.

Normal way to deal with this to write a new article about each faculty member. But I want this to be more dynamic. I dont like the idea to create a new article for each faculty. I am looking for a way that all the information(subjects, email, phone, etc) should be stored in database and while displaying all information should be fetched from the database itself and should be displayed in a preformated way.

Please let me know if anyone is having any idea regarding this..Many Thanks in advance

I'd use a CCK plugin like K2 and add and Extra Field Group, like this ... that way it could be added in the admin. Done what you're doing with many types of content this way.

UPDATE: Just remembered this great little component called joodatabase
