Hi,

I have a couple of questions.

1. I would like the title of an entry in the directory to be a hyper link to that entry, however it doesn’t seem to work even when I have the option selected in the advanced settings.
2. I would like to add an option to links, at the moment the options are either blog or website, how would I add a third option for a link?

Thanks,

Allan

RE: I would like the title of an entry in the directory to be a hyper link to that entry, however it doesn’t seem to work even when I have the option selected in the advanced settings

This is the design of Circled, it has the “View Profile” link to view the entry. The only way to change this would be to edit the core PHP template file for the template.

RE: I would like to add an option to links, at the moment the options are either blog or website, how would I add a third option for a link?

Install the Code Snippets plugin, copy paste the following example code, tweaking the type as desired. Save and Activate the snippet.

function cn_my_new_link_types( $options ) {

    $options['billing'] = 'Billing Website';
    $options['claims']  = 'Claims Website';

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_link_options', 'cn_my_new_link_types' );

You can add as many new link options as you wish.

Hope this helps!

Many thanks Stephen, that did help. I have been able to add more options!

What would I need to do to enable the title of the entry to be a hyperlink to the entry? My client would like that ability for the directory.

I am quite familiar with php core files and I imagine I would have to create a file in the child theme directory so not to delete the changes when the software gets updated.

Thanks,

Allan

Edit the card.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-circled/

Look for this line:

<h3><?php $entry->getNameBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['name_format'], 'link' => FALSE ) ); ?></h3>

Change it to:

<h3><?php $entry->getNameBlock( array( 'format' => $atts['name_format'], 'link' => TRUE ) ); ?></h3>

To make this tweak update safe (more or less :) ), see this tutorial on custom template override files.

Hope this helps!
