Hi Steve

Since I am not a PHP coder and would not know what to change, can you tell me, in the Bio Entry Card template, how can I change text to read “Phone” rather than “Work Phone”? I also want to change “Work Email” to just “Email”. I know that this can be changed in the short code for some of the premium templates, but it does not seem to work in the bio entry card template.

Also, just to note, I am using that template only for the individual entries – the list entries on the main page are set to “Names” template.

Thanks,
Linda

See this QuickTip. It explains how this can be down to any string within the core Connections plugin. Using this method will change it in both the template an in the drop down in the admin.

Hope that helps.

Steve, that is a wonderful tip and very simple to follow. But, on a related note, is there a way to simply switch the default entry type for, say, Phone and Email, so that Work Phone and Work Email (and Work Address, etc.) are the defaults when you add a new entry? My real problem is that I will be having 2 or 3 people adding entries and you can bet that they will use the default every time, rather than flipping to Work rather than Home.

Sorry about the late reply!

Yes, this can be done as well. First you need to install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_change_address_types_order( $options ) {

    $options = array ( 'work' => $options['work'] ) + $options;

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_address_options', 'cn_change_address_types_order' );

function cn_change_phone_types_order( $options ) {

    $options = array ( 'workphone' => $options['workphone'] ) + $options;

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_phone_options', 'cn_change_phone_types_order' );

function cn_change_email_types_order( $options ) {

    $options = array ( 'work' => $options['work'] ) + $options;

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_email_options', 'cn_change_email_types_order' );

Save and activate the new snippet.

That should do the trick.
