re: I can’t get it to switch to the Card Bio template when a name is clicked off the list. If I click a name, it just goes to a list with the one name on it, no more info is displayed. I’m using this on the Directory’s initial page:
Remove the template=names from the shortcode. Instead do this…
- Activate the Names template under the All template type on the Connections : Templates admin page.
- Go to the Connections : Settings admin page.
- Click the Display tab.
- Enable the Single Entry template option.
- Go back to the Connections : Template admin page.
- Click the Individual template type (upper left).
- Active the Card Bio template.
- Do the same for the Organization template type.
Now the initial results list will use the Names template and when you click on the name it’ll take you to the profile page and display it using the Card Bio template.
re: The text formatting on the Names template is screwed up.
Without a link to the page with the display issue, the best I can say it sounds like a CSS conflict with the theme or another plugin.
re: However, after creating the new folders and -custom.css files, nothing changes in either template
Did you look at the page source to make sure the files are being loaded. The most common issue when they are not is the file paths are incorrect see Connections does not “see” them to load them.
re: I’d like to completely get rid of the “Last Updated x weeks ago” text. I tried putting … into Edit CSS and into card-bio-custom.css to no effect.
The like reason is the the Connections CSS is loaded after the CSS from the “Edit CSS” so it is getting overridden. Try this instead:
.cn-last-updated {
display: none !important;
}
Add the !important flag will ensure that is can not (easily) be overridden.
Hope that helps, please let me know.
