    Hi, Steven.

    I have searched for answers in the forums, but I have not found and need your help.

    1.-How I can sort categories ?. Automatically are sorted by name and not want that. I would like to sort by ID, for example, or by the order in which I entered.

    2.- Plugin Google Language Translate, translates the name of the organization. How can I avoid it?

    3.-How I can put another color in the link fields ?. Default takes the theme colors and do not like. Can I change them?

    Thank you very much and best regards,

    re: How I can sort categories ?. Automatically are sorted by name and not want that. I would like to sort by ID, for example, or by the order in which I entered
    Sorry but categories are only sortable by name.

    re: Plugin Google Language Translate, translates the name of the organization. How can I avoid it?
    Sorry, I am not at all familiar with this plugin. You might be better off asking that plugin’s dev to see if there is a way to prevent specific text from being translated.

    re: How I can put another color in the link fields ?. Default takes the theme colors and do not like. Can I change them?
    Yes this is possible … the default is to inherit from the theme to provide tighter integration with the style of the theme. If you can share a link to you directory page and the color you want to the links to be, I’ll take a look and give you the CSS that’ll be required to be added to the theme’s custom CSS area.

    NOt too much of a help, sorry! But I hope it helps a little.

    Hi, again, Steven.
    I found, about the plugin of translations (Google Language Translator), … to prevent translation, I can add a Css class called “nontranslate” to any html element, like <body class=”home notranslate”> . Can you tell me what is the “element” for the organization name?
    Thank you

    You can add the class to these places:

    1. https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/develop/includes/entry/class.entry-output.php#L581
    2. https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/develop/includes/entry/class.entry-output.php#L830

    The filename is class.entry-output.php and can be found in this folder:
    ../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/entry/

    Hope that helps!

    Hello again, Steven. I managed that the board works pretty well, but I still have a problem with the translations. Every time you make an update of connections, I rewrite the class.entry-output.php file by adding “notranslate” to fields that should not be translated. On the one hand, need you to tell me which is the field to not translate the name of the contact. For example, a contact is Pere Prats, name, and translates as Pere Meadows. As you can imagine, you should not translate the names of individuals, companies, streets, email, url, … but it does. Not sure if this what you could fix in next updates. I’ll give an example of a properly corrected field:

    case 'organization': $ html = ''. $ this-> getOrganization (). '</ span>'; break;

    This I do with lines 562, 877, 1097, 1098, 1099, 2019, 2020 connections at each update.

    What is the class for Contact (name and surname), please ?. Thank you very much and greetings from Spain.

    Can you please visit this link?
    https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/commit/9cdebfbebcefb30c5a3df6fff5259ce2bd409bcd

    I added the notranslate class to the places you mention, including the contact name. The link will show the places where I made the change. Can you please confirm that is what is needed to prevent Google Translate from translating those strings?

    @ Antonio

    Alright, these changes will be included in the upcoming 8.2.3 release so you should have to worry about it again.
