You can not use the category name with the category option. You need to use the category ID as shown in the examples and my instructions from the previous reply. If you want to use the category name, you need to use the category_name option like you have done with the last three shortcodes. Also, if you use the category name, you need to put quotes around the category names. With that said, this should work:

Nothing to do…
I still get half my directory listed without dropdown and then the selected categories for the page with dropdown

@ Aurore

You need to use the category shortcode option to limit the list to the specific category. So you would have something like this:

[connections enable_category_select='FALSE' category="X"]

X would equal the category ID you want to display.

Sven,

Thank you for the answer.
i tried already this shortcode.
problem is, it somehow cancel all my selected category in the page and list all entries, from all categories in the page.

Sorry I don’t know if I explain it right.

As you can see , in red are the categories I want to have listed in the page “Clubs de race” “Autour du clyde” “Eleveurs” .
Somwhere in the website I have another page where I list all the others categories I have.
At the moment I use the enable_category_select=false, I get all my entries listed, doesn’t matter which category, selected in the page or not .

You can have a look at the page, I used [connections enable_category_select=false]
just that you get my problem right . http://dev.clydesdale.fr/?page_id=74

Thanks again for your help and your time

@ Aurore

Sure, no problem. Take a look at this doc page for cMap. This doc page looks like it might be useful to you too.

Hi,

I would like to hide the category drop down but keep my selected category in my page
http://dev.clydesdale.fr/?page_id=74

As you can see, I display in this page several selected categories; I don’t really need the drop down then…
Could you please tell me how I can achieve this ?

Thank you in advance !

@ Kate

There’s no way to change or edit this category and it is required for Connections to function… however, with that said … If the Uncategorized category is completely empty, meaning absolutely no entries assigned to it, private or unlisted you can use a cMap shortcode option to hide empty categories. Since Uncategorized will be empty it will not be shown in the list.

Hope that helps.

I do not want to include the ‘Uncategorized’ category in my dropdown options, but it can not be edited or deleted as a category option… is there a way to hide it from the dropdown menu??

[bobbyau]

I think this is what i’ve been trying to achieve and after trying many variations of categoryXXXX shortcode entries i’m not really getting anywhere.

I’ve got a page titled coffee roasters and under this I currently have only one state/territory (blog – id4 South Australia) which i’ve done here Now i wish to add more states (which will be blog posts) under the coffee roasters page but it needs to show everything (panels and category dropdown) relevant to the roasters in that state.

In my categories I have:
Australia id3
– South Australia id4
– Victoria id15
2 Star rating id11
3 star rating id12
etc…

I currently use this in my first post
[connections category='2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11,12,13,14' str_home_addr="Location" str_home_phone="Phone" addr_format="%label% %line1% %line2% %city%, %state% %zipcode% %country%" str_work_email="Email" str_bio_hide="Close Notes" str_bio_show="Show Notes" str_bio_head="" map_frame_height=300 page_limit=20 str_personal_email="Email"]

Is this possible?

I hope i have explained myself properly. Thanks.
