Is there a way I can rename fields – for example change “Organization” to “Business Name”

I only want to show individual as an option – not organization. I only have organization selected on form settings, but it continues to show both. http://birthingfromwithin.com.158-69-37-116.vanilla.websavers.ca/mentors/submit/

Is there a way to insert instructions above any of these sections within the form?

See this tutorial on how to change labels and other test in Connections.

RE: I only want to show individual as an option – not organization. I only have organization selected on form settings, but it continues to show both.

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. Scroll down to the Entry Type option and uncheck the box, then choose “Individual” from the Default Entry Type option which is right below it.

RE: Is there a way to insert instructions above any of these sections within the form?

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. Scroll to the Content Before section. Use this to display instructions before the for. Scroll further down and you will find a Content After option which will display content after the form.

Hope this helps!

ps. You probably should not allow your users to choose the directory home page.

how can i avoid them choosing the directory home page? It automatically showed there i think?

I’m actually looking for instructions specific to various fields – not just before & after the entire form. Impossible?

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Form tab. Scroll to the Fieldsets section and uncheck the Entry Directory Homepage option.

Sorry, but content can only be added to before and after the form.

Ok, understood. It would be Really helpful if I could change the names of some fields – i.e. change the fieldset “categories” to location. Can this be done?

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Field Configuration tab. Many field labels can be changed. Such as “Work Phone” could be changed to “Business Phone”

Other text in Connections, see this tutorial on how to change labels and other test in Connections.

In your specific example, the “Categories” label, you will need to use the connections_form text domain instead of the connections text domain mentioned in the tutorial because that specific string happens to originate from Form instead of Connections.

Hope that helps!

That is working beautifully – thank you! one glitch:

The connections system has 2 fields named Title – one under individual (name, title, organization), and the other under Links. Because I need to change the title of the first one to “Certification Level”, it’s also changing the other one under Links. What is the purpose of the Title field under Links? Is there a way to get rid of it? I’m having trouble targeting it with CSS>

RE: What is the purpose of the Title field under Links?

The link title is what will be displayed on the page instead of the link URL. If no title is supplied the URL will be displayed.

RE: Is there a way to get rid of it? I’m having trouble targeting it with CSS.

Use this CSS selector:

#cn-form-container .link-title-container {
    display: none;
}

I’ll see if I can add an option to disable it in the settings for the next update.

Hope this helps!
