    Is is possible to add link(s) to Panel Contact Information?

    @ Marina

    The template is not design to show links in that location, sorry. The only way to add them would to be to create a template override file and add the PHP code that shows the links. If you’re comfortable with doing some minor PHP work. I can give you a quick walk thru. Let me know.

    Hope that helps!

    You need to edit the card.php file found here:

    ../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

    Add the following line where you want the links to show:

    if ( $atts['show_links'] ) $entry->getLinkBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['link_format'], 'type' => $atts['link_types'] ) );

    Save the file. I suggest saving it to one of the folders outlined in the QuickTip.

    Hope that helps.

    Yes. That works . . . thanks. I’m almost there but have a couple of additional things to clear up:

    • I cannot figure where to put the changed card.php. I tried all of these to no avail:

    /wp-content/theme/mystile-child/connections-templates/card
    ../wp-content/theme/mystile/connections-templates/card
    ../wp-content/uploads/connections-templates/card

    I even tried variations on template-gridder and connections-gridder, but decided that can take a lifetime. So I ended up putting it in place of the original until you can help me figure out what path is actually being searched.

    • I was getting garbled text on entries with multiple links, so I changed your code to display only a preferred link. That works fine but long links are garbled, so I’d like to remove the string “Website” (as I was able to do Biographical Info). Then I can name the preferred link “Website” without displaying “Website: Website”. But I haven’t been able to figure out what to use as the str_ shortcode option. Please advise.

    Thanks.

    P.S. You can check it all out here: heartfulvillage.com/directory. The entries with preferred links are smARTWORKS (first entry), Loominus Woodstock (second, and the one showing garbled text), and Neckush (second row, third entry).

    Reply #333620 can be ignored. I’ve broken it into two new posts: ##333621 and 333622. Thanks.
