    Hi,
    I bought your premium pack earlier this week, and I love the circled template. However, I encounter errors when I use the search box. If I put my cursor in the search box, without typing fast enough, it automatically redirects the page to your web site. If I can type fast enough to put in search terms and press return, it will show expected results.

    The page it redirects to: http://connections-pro.com/documentation/connections/shortcodes/shortcode-connections/

    When I have the category search short code turned on and use it, I select the category, and then it redirects to your web site with the same shortcode page URL listed above.

    Please tell me how to fix this as we paid for the module assuming search function would work!

    Second less important question: Also, how would I customize the template to show the work telephone number on the short list display? We are using this as an employee directory for our intranet.

    Thank you.

    @ Jen

    First, let me direct you to a QuickTip that has some tips for you when working with shortcodes that apply to any plugin that uses them:
    http://connections-pro.com/2012/07/30/quicktip-working-with-shortcodes/

    To solve the issue you speak of…

    Edit the page where you inserted the shortcode. I’m guessing you copy/pasted it or an option for it from the doc page into the WP Visual Editor which is why you’re redirected to my site.

    Switch the post editor to the Text tab.

    Now remove the link to my site from around or within the shortcode. While you at it. It probably is likely there are other HTML elements, not just the link, in and around the shortcode, remove all that you find.

    Update the page.

    That should solve the issue.

    Oh, of course, how silly of me! Thank you, and thanks for responding so quickly!

    Is there also a way to have the work phone number on that circled template to display on the list page of all the members?

    @ Jen

    Yes, but not easily. You would have to edit the card.php file found here:
    ../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/

    Add this where you want the numbers:

    if ( $atts['show_phone_numbers'] ) $entry->getPhoneNumberBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['phone_format'] , 'type' => $atts['phone_types'] ) );
    Save the file and upload it.

    If you choose to do this, then I highly recommend following this QuickTip on where to upload the new file so it is safe from being overwritten during updates to Circled.

    Hope that helps!
