I’m fairly certain that I’m going to purchase this template, but before I do, I just wanted to know if there is a way to only display directory entries as the result of a search.

My client has requested that I create a directory page with a search bar that only displays entries when they are specifically search for. Is this something I will be able to set up with this template? Just want to make sure before I buy and/or tell the client this is possible! Thank you!

Not out of the box … but I can give you a filter [Code Snippet] that will work with cMap that will make it not show results until a category or key word search is being done.

Hope that helps!

Steven,

I know it has been a few weeks since I asked this question originally, but I’ve purchased the cMap template and am wondering what exactly is this filter [Code Snippet] that you say you can give me that will help not show results until a category or key word is searched?

Thanks!

I attached the code snippet for you. For it to function, you must be on Connections >= 0.8.

Here’s how to use it…

Install the Code Snippets plugin.
Download and unzip the file attached to this reply.
Import the code snippet XML file, search.code-snippets.xml, into Code Snippets. See the FAQs on where to find the import feature.
Activate the newly imported snippet.
Lastly, add initial_results=false to the [connections] shortcode.

That should do it.

I did just as you said! However, I get the following errors appearing at the top of my page…And the directory is still appearing. Thoughts?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘$i’ (T_VARIABLE) in /data/9/3/119/133/3445459/user/3840432/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/code-snippets/code-snippets.php(1103) : eval()’d code(69) : runtime-created function on line 1

I wonder if it is importing incorrectly because of the quote escaping that is required on that line. Can you edit the snippet, go to line 69 and make sure it is this:

array_walk( $atts, create_function( '&$i,$k','$i="$k=\"$i\"";' ) );

Additionally, can you edit the page that you have the Connections shortcode on and switch the editor to the Text tab to make sure there is no HTML tags or other text that should not be within the shortcode?

[Jacey Gulden]

That seems to have done the trick! Thank you so much for your help! Works perfectly!
