cMap Template types, no difference between Ind and Org

@ Diane

Which strings are you changing and with what process? String changes are global when using the cMap template Customizer or when using Say What?, that is how it works.

cMap does have few strings which are template specific and can be controlled via shortcode options to change them on a per instance case. Here’s the instructions to change cMap strings with shortcode options. Scroll down a little, you see a list and examples of the strings that an be set at the shortcode level in cMap.

Hope this helps!

RE: So even though I am “customizing” an Individual cMap template it is still a global change?

Yes, you are customizing the cMap template when using the Customizer. It does not matter how many different pages you use it on, it is still the cMap template.

Another way to frame it… think of it as your theme. You have many posts and pages, when you use its Customizer, it affects all the posts and pages, not just one page excluding page specific options the theme may add to an individual page of course.

RE: I should specify the label changes using cnt_cmap

That would still be a global change of the string.

RE: str_work_phone="Phone"

This is what I was talking about in my previous reply… you can use shortcodes to affect each instance of the template. This list of available option are found in that link I gave.

So, to change the category label you would use the str_category_label shortcode option. Example:

[connections template="cmap" category=291 enable_category_by_root_parent='TRUE' str_work_phone="Phone" show_alphaindex='TRUE' repeat_alphaindex='TRUE' str_category_label='Specialty: ']

Hope this helps!
