I use Connection to list volunteer opportunities on the Outer Banks.

I’m using Forms which is found on http://obxcommongood.org/addvolunteer-opportunities-2013/ The form asks for two photos and also a place to add note information – which is a description of the Organization. I have entered via the page and via the menu.

When I go to the display entries at http://obxcommongood.org/displavolunteer-opportunities-2/

My display show only photos not logos. Notes do not display at all. Formatting is a bit wacky but that may have to do with width which I changed. Are my shortcuts working correctly. I’ve also tried to change the titles of Biography to Volunteer Details and Notes to Organization Details’ As you can see seem to be having difficulties with this.

I’d like to use the DATE field (which doesn’t show up in the FORMS add but does via menu add.

I am finally getting somewhere. Is there any way to connect blogroll links to the connection display.

Happy New Year!

Lets see…

First, form is not showing correctly on the site. To correct this, edit the page where you entered the the [connections_form] shortcode. Switch the editor to the “Text” tab and then remove the pre tags from around the shortcode.

Currently, Form does not support the full date field from the admin. Support for that will come in an update.

Sorry, no, Connections does not pull the blogroll links.

And finally…

The page that has the directory. It appears the Bio Entry Card’s template.php file was used to overwrite the cMap’s template.php file. Please activate any random template, delete cMap and then re-install the original version and activate it. This will display the logo, the photo in the bio tray and the note tray.

Hope that helps.

In reinstalling cmap I lost all my categories to filter by. I think this was why I was using profile in the first place.

You haven’t activated cMap yet. The Bio Entry Card template does not have the category filter feature.
