Hi Steven,

Happy New Year!

I have a problem.

I have a single listing setup in a Category with minimal info. The post link is here

enter link description here

The organisation name link is linking incorrectly, the link is showing as …

enter link description here

Why is the link appending the ‘contact-us’ page in the link? I do have the ‘contact-us’ page set as the Connections Home Page under Connections settings but it has not affected any of my other listings on other listing pages i.e this one…

enter link description here

I have tried but cannot figure this one out?

Would appreciate your insight.

Thank you.

This is correct, you have the “Contact Us” page set as the directory home page, when you embed a directory on a Post, the permalink will resolve to the directory home page. When embedded on a Page the links will resolve to the current page (to allow multiple directory support) unless set to the directory home page using the force_home shortcode option. Posts work differently mainly due to WP limitations with how permalinks work on Posts.

On the post page you can force the link to resolve to a page of you choosing by using the home_id shortcode option

Hope this helps!

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your quick response.

I now understand re the ‘home page’.

In my case this will not work for me.

As an alternative is it possible to ‘remove‘ the link from the listing title as I don’t want to allow them to link anywhere else except say the website link?

I have attached a screenshot to show the title link that I mean.

Thanks,

Ray

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. You can disable the Name permalink option. This will remove the link the entry name.

Hope this helps!

ps. Apologies for the delay in my reply. I did in fact miss you last reply.

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your response.

I think that I need to explain myself better as I seem to have benn somewhat unclear.

I have attached a screenshot of this Page ( example page )

There are two things that I am trying to achieve on selected individual listings like the one shown..

(1) Re the image – I would like to NOT display the title when hovered as it shows link text and there is no link for the image
(2) Re the H3 Title – I would like this to NOT be a link, just a title as again there is nowwhere that it needs to link to

Is there a way to achieve this with settings and / or CSS?

Would appreciate your advice.

Regards,

Ray Atreides

RE: Re the image – I would like to NOT display the title when hovered as it shows link text and there is no link for the image

There is no easy way to remove the hover text as that is handled by the browser. You can try hooking into a couple filters to empty the text. Not sure what the browser will no. Here’s the code:

add_filter( 'cn_photo_alt', 'cn_photo_alt_title' );
add_filter( 'cn_photo_title', 'cn_photo_alt_title' );
function cn_photo_alt_title( $title ) {
    return '';
}

RE: (2) Re the H3 Title – I would like this to NOT be a link, just a title as again there is nowwhere that it needs to link to

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. You can disable the Name permalink option. This will remove the link from the entry name (H3). You might be able to add link=false to the shortcode to disable it on a per shortcode basis. No promises though as I can not remember off hand if the cMap template supports it or not since it is not an officially support option.

Hope this helps!

Hi Steven,

Thanks for your response.

The ‘link=false’ option used in the individual shortcodes works well in cMap. Thanks for the tip.

I’ll have a go re the filters tip but not sure if I will be able to get it working say just for one Parent Category which all of these individual listings live in. Let you know when I have a moment to try.

Thanks for your patience on this support ticket.
