    I”m using  Tile Plus to display this directory: http://chowchmbr.bhmbizsites.com/directory-main/

    I like the Tile Plus features, but I’d also like to be able to display a map.  Can I add in the map link on the tiles through a shortcode, or a combo of shortcode & editing the php/css?  Maybe this is in the documentation, but I can’t find it.

    I’d like the link to the map to appear right above the website link on the lower right of the tile.

    The class.output.php file contains the getMapBlock() method that you can add to the template to add a map. The documentation for the method is there and is fairly thorough.

    I’m sorry– I’m not seeing where to find the class.output.php file (not in with the rest of the Connections plugin files).  And is the documentation in that file, or somewhere else?

    It is in the includes folder.

    I am wanting to do the same thing but can not find the class.output.php file in the includes folder.

    After rereading the first post. I would like the map to only show up on the actual profile but not on the listing page. Is this possible?

    @ james301

    The file is now named class.entry-output.php. You need to use more than just the getMapBlock() method, you’ll also need a bit of JavaScript to init the Google Maps on the output of the getMapBlock(). You can refer to the cMap JavaScript file served from this site as how to do it. And, yes, you can output the maps just on the single entry. You would add the getMapBlock() method to a file named card-single.php. See this QuickTip about custom template overrride files.

    Hope that helps!

    I appreciate your response, but I am pretty much as lost as before. I am not sure what specifically needs to be done. I am more of a web designer with a little bit of development experience. Is there a more in depth how to? Or even someone that I could hire to make this adjustment.

    Sure, I can refer you to a dev which has a lot of experience working with Connections and its templates. I’ll ask him to stop by this forum thread so you and he can make contact.
