WP4Labs is a small Plugin, wich provides some functions to manange a lab or a scientific group. I designed it for the websites of two Biolabs. It’s far away from being my first WP-Plugin, but it’s the first one I want to publish. I tested it in four or five WP-installtions on dofferent servers, and it seems to all OK.
It provides the following parts: 
– An advanced User Profile, containing some fields for academic career dates 
– in connection with that a connection to the ariw.org-database of scientific institutions wordl wide, to make it easer finding a specific institution and it’s URL 
– the possibility to manage users in academic groups, such as Alumni, Post-Doc, P.I. and such (customizable) 
– a local-avatar function which maintains the possibility for users to use a Gravatar (maybe someday I should take this one out and make a own plugin out of it) 
– a post-type called ‘project’, to which you can connect users to (scientific) groups. Only users with P.I.-status (for being leader of the group) can add or remove users.
A nice backend integration is built, I also ship some example templates to learn, how to integrate the provided functions to your theme.
<h3>Usage</h3>
For your template, build the following templates: 
archive-biofoo_project.php – This gives an overview of the existing projects. 
single-biofoo_project.php – Watch a single project.
Also you can edit your author.php to display the additional information.
The plugin contains some useful functions building these templates: 
 = get_biofoo(); 
Throw a from get_userinfo (not get_users!) or such into it, to get the advanced profile information. 
Example:
ba_degree or $user->ma_degree) or $user->phd_degree) : ?>
<h4></h4>
ba_degree) : ?>B.A.ba_degree; ?> 
ma_degree) : ?>M.A.ma_degree; ?> 
phd_degree) : ?>Ph.D.phd_degree; ?>
echo_project_members(, , )
Displays (or returns) alls members of a project:
 INT or STRING 
The Id of a post with type biofoo_project. Instead of a post_id you may use the string keyword ‘all’ to get all users of the blog.
 STRING 
Default: boxes. 
Knows the following styles: 
* ‘longlist’ -> All members below each other with avatar and academic information. 
* ‘boxes’ -> Boxes with 
* ‘text’ -> The names of all members in a line as clickable links. 
* ‘return’ -> Displays nothing but returns an array with the members of the project.
 BOOLEAN 
Default: true
If set to false, users, which are in passive user groups like alumni are not displayed.
the_boss() 
Displays the leading members (P.I.s) of a project.
function list_users_projects() 
Displays a list of projects, a user is member of.
<h3>Update Log</h3>
