Reply To: Default Options

@ David

In regards to your initial post…

re: Default choice to be (eg) Organization, instead of individial

There is not a setting to change this but it can be done via a filter. Outside of these few requests over the years there is not many asking for this. Here’s how to do this with a filter:

Install the Code Snippets plugin. It is a far, far, better option that adding code to the theme’s functions.php file. Consider what would happen when the theme is updated and that file is overwritten or you decide at some point to switch themes :)

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_default_entry_type( $atts ) {

    $atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';

    return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_default_entry_type', 11 );

Save and Activate the new snippet.

re: Default choices for phone number to be something else, like “Work”

This too can be done with a filter. See this forum post for the details.

re: a choice not to even display the title of the number and just have the number displayed without having the titles “home phone” or “work phone” etc.

This can be done very easily using the Template Customizer feature in cMap 5 and newer.

re: Default choice to make all new entries made “public” instead of unlisted.

Default for entry visibility is now “Public” instead of “Unlisted”

Hope that addresses everything thoroughly,
