RE: Is there any way to minimize the space between the fields so I can see the entire email in my tile even if one of the fields above it has a string that spills into a new line?
Ok, I have not seen that in probably more than a year or so. The theme was “injecting” extra line breaks into the page contents, including the Connections templates. The sort of defect use to be very common in Themeforest themes.
Because it use to be such an issue I added a workaround in Connections. On the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Advanced tab and scroll all the way to the bottom. There you will find a Template Compatibility option. I enabled this. Basically it parses the Connections code and removes the extra line breaks. This works because I do not use line breaks in template output. So they are easy to target and remove.
RE: is there an extension that would allow me to make sub-categories? As in, if I wanted people to be able to search by…profession or city or committee, but I didn’t want to list all the professions AND cities AND committees in one drop-down menu of categories, is there anything that would allow me to separate them?
I offer an add on to Pro Pack users, on request, which offers a multiple category search.
You can see it on this live third part site:
I offer it as is in functionality and styling. It can be difficult to configure due to it having a complex shortcode to configure the multiple category search options. But it is not too bad if you are familiar with working with shortcodes.
RE: I thought I saw an extension that allows users to edit their own contact card without having a wordpress role of editor (just being an activated user) – but then I went back and scoured the extensions and could not find it again. Did I read that about another plugin and get my wires crossed?
That would be the Link addon.
And, optionally, the Form addon.
Hope this helps!
