Odoo 12.

Is there a dynamic means to have the list of employees autopopulate the About Us (or a similar) page?

This is for a 501(c)3 non-profit volunteer-run charity that only raises about $3,000/yr, with 100+ volunteers across 5 continents. There really isn't any money for tech/software, everything they have is donated including the web hosting and such, so it needs to be opensource/community solutions, not expensive addons since they use all their money to help people.

The hope is that we don't have to manually create, and try to keep updated, the page for more than 100 volunteers.

Please advise on an opensource/community/free solution.

Thanks!

Thanks to help from Paresh Wagh, we found that I had somehow disabled the aboutus default view. So we set it to Developer Mode. Went to Technical, Views. Filtered for "inactive" and aboutus. Then the QWEB first one listed selected, and chose "unarchive". Then went to the main website pages list, and saw a new listing for /12aboutus. Which was the default page and showed the list of all our volunteers. Now I can customize and use as neede. Thank you so much for taking a few minutes to help out our small nonprofit Paresh Wagh! Really appreciated it. I hope the information here helps anyone else that runs into a similar issue. Cheers!

Yes, you have the option to show your team in website "About us" page. You will have to install "website_hr" module to have the feature.

Go to the "About us" page and click on the "Customize" menu from top and enable "Our Team" option.

Follow the screenshot:

That looks great, but unfortunately the non-profit this is for can only go with opensource/community/free solutions, there isn't any IT budget, everything techwise they have is donated and/or opensource.

@Sudhir: how would you go about building such webpage in v14 (enterprise)? Module website_hr doesn’t seem available?

What about the "Online Employee Details" module?  It has description of "Publish your employees public information on About Us website page."  It sounds like what we need, but I am having trouble finding any information on _how_ to make it do so.

Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

This was the solution to this challenge. But my install of Online Employee Details had a glitch in our setup: Thanks to help from Paresh Wagh, we found that I had somehow disabled the aboutus default view. So we set it to Developer Mode. Went to Technical, Views. Filtered for "inactive" and aboutus. Then the QWEB first one listed selected, and chose "unarchive".

Now solved!
