<p>I am fairly new to Craft and I am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction so I am not having to do double the work or have to learn the hard way that there is an easier way.</p>

<p>I am trying to get my head around how I can tie pages together. I am creating a page for videos from speakers but I want the speakers names to be linked back to their staff page.</p>

<p>How do I create an entry that will allow users to select a staff member?</p>

<p>I have already created a staff entry page, that allows all the information to be populated for the staff member. Should that be a categories page instead to allow me to have a the user select the staff member (category) that did the talk for the video? Or is there another way to allow the user to select a field of staff members?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-26)

I am fairly new to Craft and I am hoping someone can help point me in the right direction so I am not having to do double the work or have to learn the hard way that there is an easier way.

I am trying to get my head around how I can tie pages together. I am creating a page for videos from speakers but I want the speakers names to be linked back to their staff page.

How do I create an entry that will allow users to select a staff member?

I have already created a staff entry page, that allows all the information to be populated for the staff member. Should that be a categories page instead to allow me to have a the user select the staff member (category) that did the talk for the video? Or is there another way to allow the user to select a field of staff members?

Thanks for the help!

You could have two sections:
Staff
Videos

In the videos channel, create a Staff entries field type, select the Staff channel in that field's options.
When you create a new video, you can relate that video to a staff entry.
When displaying a video entry, you could reference that staff that is tied to that video entry like so:
{{ entry.staff }}

If you wanted to be more specific, you would do something like:
{{ entry.staff.title }}

and to get a link to the staff entry that is related to the video entry:
{{ entry.staff.url }}
