    Hello Steve,

    im my Website the user can choose in the Form of “LINK” between several categories. For example he can choose 5 categories or even more.

    But for the Reason of protect the layout in CMAP I will limit the output of the categories to only three.
    Please, can you give me a code-snippet to realize that.

    Hello Steve,

    I try to customize this part of code out of CARD.PHP in CMAP-folder. But I did not get it work.

    <p style=”float: left;text-align: left;font-size:12px;width:30%;”>
    <?php $entry->getCategoryBlock( array( ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘, ‘before’ => ‘<span>’, ‘after’ => ‘</span>’ ) ); ?>
    </p>

    Open this file:
    ../wp-content/plugins/cmap/card.php

    Add this code where you would like the categories to be shown:

    $entry->getCategoryBlock( array('separator' => ', ', 'before' => '<span>', 'after' => '</span>') );

    Save and upload overwriting the original file.

    You may also have to add it to the following file depending on your configuration:
    ../wp-content/plugins/cmap/card-single.php

    Hope that helps.

    Hello Steve,

    I already add the peace of code to ../wp-content/plugins/cmap/card.php.
    That works fine.
    But I will limit the output of categories to three categories only.

    I try:

    $entry->getCategoryBlock( array(‘number’ => 3, ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘, ‘before’ => ‘<span>’, ‘after’ => ‘</span>’ ) );

    $entry->getCategoryBlock( array(‘limit’ => 3, ‘separator’ => ‘, ‘, ‘before’ => ‘<span>’, ‘after’ => ‘</span>’ ) );

    Both possibilities did not work. “The limit” oder “the number” does not apply to limit the output of the categories.

    Did you have an approach for a solution.

    Greetings,

    Kris

    Oh, ok, now I understand what you’re asking for. Sorry but there is not a way to limit the output of the categories that are assigned to an entry and there isn’t a snippet of code I can give you to do that.
