Hi, Connections!

We are using CMAP category lists which link to entries.
When we click on the list item header/link it takes us to the Entry, but the entry is missing its title. (In this case, Cleaveland House.
I have reviewed the code and there is no ‘display:none’ in the css related to the Entry Head.
Is there something programmatic (a selector) hiding the title?
It is important we be able to show this on Entry Pages (works in other – market – theme, for example.
Thanks!
Patrick

There must be a CSS rule that is hiding the entry name. It should be displayed to the left of the image placeholder as shown in this demo link.

Sorry, without a link so I can see the page other than a CSS rule hiding it, I have no other solutions to give you. View the page source, I’m sure the entry name is there… let me know if it is not.

Hi Steven,

Thanks again for the very quick response.
I have attached a screenshot of the demo link page. That page also lacks the header/entry name. (I’ve viewed it on two computers.)

Can you send me the css selector/class for that, so I can track it down in dev tools?

Thanks again!
Patrick

re: That page also lacks the header/entry name.

I’m thinking you might have overlooked it… the entry name is “100 Park at Wyomissing Square” and it is in the screenshot.

re: Can you send me the css selector/class for that, so I can track it down in dev tools?

The selector cmap uses: #cn-cmap h3… now, that does not by any means indicate that the rule hiding it is using this selector. Use the dev tools to locate the h3 with the name, click it, and the inspector will display all the rules affecting it. You may have to go further by selecting the span within the h3 to see if any CSS rules are hiding the org fn notranslate classes.

Hi Steven,
I guess I have assumed the title was bigger. I did overlook it.

I have found the span:

And it appears that the “display=none;” is inside the span. — Would this not indicate that it is in the Template? It is not called out as a class: style in the CSS.

The “element.style” is a dev tools (not coded) style.

Thanks again!!

This does not exist in the template or the code the generate the name span. Something else is adding it. Try turning off javascript in the browser to see if something else is adding it.

Hi Steven,

1) I’m still grappling with this question of missing titles. I have attached a screenshot of your Wyomissing Square demo listing — it too has the title missing.

http://connections-pro.com/demo/template/cmap/name/100-park-at-wyomissing-square/

2) And, instead of linking to an individual listing the title/link on the listing goes to a page with all the entries linked from.

3) On, top of that the listings pages carries with it all style data from the previous page.

I have supplied a screenshot of that as well.

Do you have any suggestions? (How do I get to one single entry from the list view??

Thanks,
Patrick

re: I’m still grappling with this question of missing titles. I have attached a screenshot of your Wyomissing Square demo listing — it too has the title missing.

Unless we are talking about two different things… the entry name is in the screenshot you attached of the demo page. I made a copy of your screenshot and put arrows on it to show the entry name.

You previously state that; “I have found the span: And it appears that the “display=none;” is inside the span. — Would this not indicate that it is in the Template?”

Like I said, this is not in the template. There are two ways this could end up here. The template was modified from the original code and that was inline style added. Or, some other plugin or the theme is adding it with javascript for some reason.

• Did you turn off javascript in the browser as suggested to see if the entry name will be visible?
• Was the template altered in any way?
• Was Connections altered in any way?

re: And, instead of linking to an individual listing the title/link on the listing goes to a page with all the entries linked from.

Ok, sorry, I’m not really following you here… Clicking on an entry should take you to the individual entry. Which, you said, “When we click on the list item header/link it takes us to the Entry…“. What changed? It seems like it was working fine when you made the original post.

re: On, top of that the listings pages carries with it all style data from the previous page.

Sorry, again, I do not understand. I looked at the screenshot but without context I’m not sure what I am looking at or what is wrong with it. My best guess…

Did you added content above the [connections] shortcode? If you did, that will be on the Connections “pages” because you are not actually leaving that page. The shortcode itself is dynamic, changing based on what was clicking in Connections, for example the entry name.

If you want to have static content above the directory “home page”, then you need a second page to show the results on. Here’s what to do:

Create a new page. The name of the page is not relevant but should applicable.

The content of this new page should be the [connections] shortcode and nothing else.

Save the page and take note of the page ID, You’ll need it. You can find it in the browser address bar as part of the URL.

Go to your original directory page and add the home_id shortcode option. You shortcode on the page should look something like this:

[connections home_id="n"]

Save the page.

No when the links in the directory are clicked, they will resolve to the new page.

Without a link to your directory page, all I can do is offer guesses. If you share a link, I can very likely give you solutions.

Hi Steven,

I would like to modify my support request — make it simpler.

Can I programmatically go from a cmap list on one page to the directory entry?

I think my issue is the URL of the list is based on …/stay/name/… and the entry URL is based on …/directories/name/…

Thanks,

Patrick

Steven,

Our challenge is that we are using connections shortcodes on several pages. We are using connections as a directory for “accommodations”, “arts and culture”, “food and drink” and “things to do” – each with their own page. (We are creating a visitor site.)

Each of our pages has shortcodes, often stacked in individual groupings to display featured category listings. So, there is no “directory” “home page”.

I can give you a link to the pages, but it will be behind a directory privacy user/password, so I’ll have to share it with you in another manner.

Thank you very much for all your attention!

Patrick
