Hi Steve,

I was out of town-sorry about the delay.

Your follow-up is quite impressive.

How about this for an idea-maybe this can be a simple fix.

On my Directory page, http://www.franchisebizdirectory.com/directory , the link on each listing that says “show details”–can it be easily forwarded to the page where the listing is, instead of what it does now? (Which is a drop down)

So, when a visitor hits “show details” it shows the details by just going to the page that’s created already? That way, I won’t have to worry about changing as much code stuff.

Thanks, I try to be very responsive.

A custom template override file could be created to do what you want but that would not solve the issue of the nofollow being stripped from the links.

If you’d like to remove the bio (“Show Details”) content try, since clicking on the entry name will take you to the single entry, can be disabled. This is effectively the same thing.

Use this shortcode:
[connections enable_bio='false']

[Joel Libava]

So, that will just remove the “show details” tab, but keep the bio on the listing pages?

And, where do I put that shortcode, please?

Thanks.

Here is what is on Directory Page now: Where do I add that shortcode you gave me?

[connections template=cmap background_color="transparent" background_gradient=false enable_search=false enable_category_select=false page_limit=10 enable_note=false show_im='false' str_bio_show='Show Details' str_bio_hide='Close Details' str_bio_head='']

Thanks!

You would add enable_bio='false' to our existing shortcode:

[connections template=cmap background_color="transparent" background_gradient=false enable_search=false enable_category_select=false page_limit=10 enable_note=false show_im='false' str_bio_show='Show Details' str_bio_hide='Close Details' str_bio_head='' enable_bio='false']

But scrap that suggestion … that would disable it on the single entry page too. Didn’t think that thru, sorry.

Probably the best that can be done is hidding the link:

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-cmap .cn-bio-anchor.toggle-div {
  display: none;
}

okdokey. Let’s see if I don’t screw that up :)

Ok, like exactly where on css stylesheet, sir?

JL

[Joel Libava]

Wait. i did it. i did it>

One more thing:

Any ideas on how to make it easy for folks to figure out that they have to click title of the listing to see the details of the listing? Something i could add in one fell swoop?

Thanks,

Joel

@ Joel

Honestly, most people are going to just know that clicking on the name will take them somewhere as it is very, very common to see that on sites and in directories.

But if you want to make it even more obvious, add an underline to the links:

.cn-entry h3 a,
.cn-entry a {
    display: inline-block;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

Hope that helps!

If I have not asked and you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
