    What would be the best way to go about making the categories in each listing clickable to show all the other listings in that category? I would like to do this in both the full listings and on the individual listings.

    Secondly – where can I edit how the website links are showing? I’d like to remove the http:// from the linked text.

    Thanks for a great product!

    I suspect you are using the Default Entry Card template, is that correct? If it is, there is not a way to do that presently.

    The easiest way would be to edit the entry and then remove the http:// from the lint title text.

    Thank you. Is there a way to customize the template, or use a different template that would make this work? I’m familiar enough with css and php to dig in to things if it would help.

    On the second issue — haha! Sorry, didn’t realize the http:// had been added when I imported the csv. :)

    Not exactly. The premium templates do provide your visitors a way to filter by category.

    re: I’m familiar enough with css and php

    Change this line to this:
    '<a href="' . cnTerm::permalink( $category->term_id, 'category' ) . '">' . esc_html( $category->name ) . '</a>';

    That should do it… I think, untested.

    re: On the second issue — haha! Sorry, didn’t realize the http:// had been added when I imported the csv.

    Yes, presently, CSV Import uses the URL to set the URL as the title text. Well, actually core Connections does this because it needs a value, so it’ll default to the URL if no title is added. The next update to CSV Import allows the importing the title too.

    Hope that helps, let me know.
