Display a list of webshops, through wordpress plugin

Hey Treehouse'rs!

I'm in need of a plugin which allows me to display a list of webshops, which has the following information: Name of webshop Image/thumbnail Phone number URL

It needs to automatically sort it alphabetically, and without the need to use a short code for each entry, or rearrange the whole deal, when a new shop with "b" is to be added.

I imagine that I will add shops from within some fields in the plugin, together with the thumbnail, and then insert 1 single shortcode to display it, on the specific page. Then when I add a new shop, it will just updated automatically.

Anyone knows of a plugin like that?

:)

If I were tackling this, I would setup a new custom post type with the fields I want so that they can add new shops.

Then you can write a custom query for the page you want them all to display. If for some reason, you really need to create a shortcode for it, you can do that as well. Our plugin course has a video on how to make your own shortcode, but you can add the code to a theme functions.php file as well.

I don't know that you're going to find a plugin that does everything you're looking for, but this is very straightforward to do coding yourself.
