    Good day,

    I’ve been playing with shortcodes with cMaps, when I do this:

    [connections page_limit=15 pagination_postition='before' enable_search='true' image = 'false' str_image='' addr_format="%line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %state% %zipcode%" phone_format=%number% email_format=%address%],

    the cMap comes up pretty close to what I want, though I’m still tweaking. However my Connections db contains both Individuals and Organizations and for this directory, I just want to show organizations. So I’ve added the list_type of organizations, so now my shortcode list says:

    [connections list_type='organization' page_limit=15 pagination_postition='before' enable_search='true' image = 'false' str_image='' addr_format="%line1% %line2% %line3% %city%, %state% %zipcode%" phone_format=%number% email_format=%address%]

    When I do this, the page no longer displays as a cMap template, it reverts to the Default Entry Card template. If I take out the list_type shortcode, it reverts back to the cMap template.

    Is there some issue with this shortcode and cMaps?

    Thanks,
    Bob

    @ Robert

    Yes, this is how that works. You can chose different templates to use per list type. You have two options. The first, add template=cmap to the shortcode. That will force usage of the cMap template. The second, go to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Individual template type and Activate the cMap template. Then do the same for the Organization template type.

    Hope that helps!
