    I am using the Slim template and am having some success with customization. I have added a VIEW PROFILE link to the listings that directs the user to a page with just the single user profile. I have done this by creating a link to:

    /member-directory/name/user-slug

    However, I would like to have more control than that. Is there a templating system for this?

    More control over what precisely? The link, the single entry profile page?

    Hey Steven,

    I would like to be able to customize the layout for the individual profile pages.

    For example, this is my main directory page: http://pipeorgan.org/member-directory/

    And here is what i have now for an individual profile page: http://pipeorgan.org/member-directory/name/larry-abbott/

    Is there any documentation available for templating?

    re: Is there any documentation available for templating?

    Not for the actual coding for templates… sorry. I keep all the documentation in-line with the code.

    The docs for the Slim Plus template is on this page.

    For the single entry profile page… here’s a suggestion…

    • Go to the Connections : Settings admin page, click the Display tab.
    • Enable the Single Entry Template Option.
    • Go to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Individual template type.
    • Activate the Default Entry Card template. Do the same for the Organization template type.
    • Now, click the Custom button for the DeFault Entry Card template.
    • When the template Customizer loads the preview, click one of the entry names. any name it does not matter which one.
    • The preview should load the just that entry but using the Default Entry Card Template.
    • Now you can use the Template Customizer to tweak the single profile view.
    • Save and Publish your changes.
    • Now when you click your “View Profile” button, the entry will be displayed with the – Default Entry Card template with the changes you applied with the Template Customizer.

    Hope that helps!
