UPDATE: I figured out the problem with the ‘template not found’ error. I needed to make a number of other substitutions in the copy of the ‘card’ template so that it would register. By doing that I was able to change the background color for the entries in the ‘featured’ category.
But I also observed the problem you mentioned with the results when you enable the category drop down list. So clearly the multi-shortcode approach is not the best.
I have now purchased the entire Pro-Pack. GREAT DEAL! Thank you. I started using the cMap template and with all of its options there may be another way for me to accomplish what I want. I will also enable the Custom Order Entry plugin to set the ‘featured’ entries above the others. I want try out the Enhanced Categories extension to see how it compares to the directory page I built with the page layout editor widgets. I will probably need to adjust the spacing on the grid display.
Now that I purchased Pro Pack I guess I no longer have ‘PreSale’ questions so I will move to another forum if I have further items. This is a real learning experience. Thank you.
Maury
