Hi Steven,
I’ve customized the cMap PHP code (especially the card.php on my development server to display the information a little differently then the original cMap (different order and in two columns – labels where done in the shortcode). Now I’m wondering if I could have done these changes differently and if I should create my own version of cMap so that it won’t by crushed by an update.
If so, do you have any recommendations.

Here is an example of the output

If you edited the cmap.php file, there’s not much that can be done to prevent an update to cMap from overwriting your changes. If you changes where limited to the CSS/JS and card.php and card-single.php then, here’s some docs I have written up that explain where to put the files:

1. http://connections-pro.com/2014/06/04/quicktip-custom-template-override-files/
2. http://connections-pro.com/2014/05/07/quicktip-custom-css-templates/

The short version… put the altered files in this folder:

../wp-content/uploads/connections-templates/cmap/

Connections will load these before/instead of the core cMap files. The exception is the core ‘cmap.php` file.

Hope that helps!

Thank you Steven it does solve almost everything… But since I have you… I did a small change in class.entry-output.php to change the size of the social media icons (line 1941) – is there a way to change that without the hard coding?

And finally, I just want to add that I really like you product!

Yes, in the card.php and card-single.php file use this:

if ( $atts['show_social_media'] ) $entry->getSocialMediaBlock( array( 'size' => 24 ) );

Hope that helps!

Thank you! Works great.
