    Hello,

    My client will be using the Organization field to add the degrees of the people in the database. They would like to have the option for forced multiple lines for those with multiple degrees. Ex:

    Master of Business Administration, Trinity University
    Master of Economics, University of Texas at Austin

    Is this possible? HTML doesn’t seem to be accepted in those fields.

    The only way to accomplish this would be to edit the template. You could edit the template, splitting the title string on the demiliter (the comma).

    Hope this helps, let me know.

    Thanks for the response. Would you mind letting me know how to split the title string on the demiliter? I would greatly appreciate it.

    You would use the PHP explode() to convert the string to an array then implode() back to a string. function in the template file.

    Something like this:

    $bits = explode( '|', $entry->getOrganization() );
    echo implode( '<br>', $bits);

    Great, I will give it a try. I am using the C-Map template. Is this the file I would add it under?

    connections-cmap/cmap.php

    If so, under which area?

    Yes, that is the correct file. You would remove the code relating to the org and department near the top of the file and replace it with my example code. The you would tweak to suit.

    Hope that helps!

    If you could check that link– I think I identified the code to replace. It would be the org line there correct?

    Sorry for being overcautious, I know PHP errors can really mess up a WP site so trying to be extra careful.

    Opps, I did point you to the wrong file. Apologies, it is these files you want to edit.

    • connections-cmap/card.php
    • connections-cmap/card-single.php

    It’ll probably make more sense on what you need to edit now. Again sorry about that.

    Also, you should take a look at this tutorial on custom template override files so your changes are not lost during a plugin update. I’d only worry about this after you’ve successfully made the change.

    Found the code! Where would your string go in the context of this snippet? Thank you so much for holding my hand through this process, PHP is NOT my strong suit.

            if ( $atts['show_org'] || $atts['show_dept'] ) {

            $entry->getOrgUnitBlock(
                array(
                    'show_org'  => $atts['show_org'],
                    'show_dept' => $atts['show_dept'],
                )
            );

    Replace these lines with the demo code I gave you:

            $entry->getOrgUnitBlock(
            array(
                'show_org'  => $atts['show_org'],
                'show_dept' => $atts['show_dept'],
            )
        );

    Make sure it is within the if statement brackets, { and }.
