Hi Steven

I was updating the following files:
Connections > includes > template > class.template-parts.php – changed category(ies) to country, changed also link to top:
$out[] = sprintf( __( ‘You are searching within country: %s’, ‘connections’ ), implode( ‘, ‘, $terms ) ); //Regine changed here
Line 1110: ‘href’ => ‘#’, //#cn-top Regine changed this

Connections-cmap > cmap.php – changed multiple labels:
$permittedAtts[‘str_work_addr’] = ‘Address’; //$addressLabel[‘work’]; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_work_phone’] = ‘Phone’; //$phoneLabel[‘workphone’]; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_work_fax’] = ‘Fax’; //$phoneLabel[‘workfax’]; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_work_email’] = ‘Email’; //$emailLabel[‘work’]; Regine

Connections-cmap > cmap.css and cmap.min.css – changed cn-alphaindex twice to center:
#cn-cmap .cn-alphaindex { text-align: center; }
#cn-cmap #cn-list-head .cn-alphaindex {
clear: both;
position: relative;
margin: 12px 0 0;
text-align: center;}
I tried copying the CSS code into my child theme, but it didn’t work.

I haven’t found anything option in WP to make the label changes.

Thanks

Kind regards

Hi Steven

Forgot, that I also changed these labels in cmap.php
$permittedAtts[‘str_select’] = ‘Select Country’; //’Select Category’; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_select_all’] = ‘Show All Countries’; //’Show All Categories’; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_image’] = ‘No Logo Available’;
$permittedAtts[‘str_tray_image’] = ‘No Photo Available’;
$permittedAtts[‘str_map_show’] = ‘Show Map’;
$permittedAtts[‘str_map_hide’] = ‘Close Map’;
$permittedAtts[‘str_bio_head’] = ‘Profile’; //’Biography’; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_bio_show’] = ‘Show Profile’; //’Show Bio’; Regine
$permittedAtts[‘str_bio_hide’] = ‘Close Profile’; //’Close Bio’; Regine

Thanks

All these changes to the cmap.php files are not necessary. See this FAQ. cMap has a huge list of options available that can be found on this page.

The change to class.template-parts.php is also unnecessary, see this QuickTip. The original text you would enter is: You are searching within category(ies): %s, the new text would be: You are searching within country: %s

The reason the CSS didn’t work in your theme’s styles.css file is likely because the Connections CSS was loaded after and would override the theme. See this QuickTip on how to create an update safe CSS file that cMap will load.

Connections >= 0.8 and the latest templates are all about update safe customizations … I suggest taking a looks at all the QuickTips.

Ok, I’m going to look at your site now…

Ok, the cMap works on your site now. You’ll notice I installed a plugin named Code Snippets. The code snippet I added forces the loading of the scripts required by cMap. If you follow the advice in my previous reply, you should not have any issues when updating moving forward.

Hi Steven

Thanks for the info. I have worked out the labels and the search text info, but the CSS doesn’t work for me despite following your instructions in the QuickTip.

I added a folder in my Child Theme and added the CSS file with the slug cmap-custom.css. In there I have my css style to align center instead of right.

Please can you have a look at it and let me know, what is wrong.

Thanks

Kind regards

Close, you needed to put the custom CSS file in a cmap folder. I moved the file and it is loading fine.

How do you like being able to make all those changes without having to edit any files?

Hi Steven

Thanks for your help. I had a look back at the blog article, but it’s not clear to me, that there is another folder required. Maybe you can add a full example of the entire folder and file structure to make it more clear.

Otherwise I am very happy that all the changes are not working without having to edit plugin files.

THanks a lot

Kind regards

@ Regine

Thanks for the feedback, I added the example to the QuickTip as you suggested.

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
