ParticipantI would like to see the ability to import more than one website. Is that currently possible? Is there a workaround/hack possibly?

Keymaster@ Mike
Sorry, but I am not exactly sure what you are asking for. Could you give more details?

ParticipantWhen I use the CSV import tool to import data/new records, I have 2-3 website addresses (Links) that need to be part of a single record. From what I can see, there is only support to import one Link. It would also be nice if I could control the Link Title and Target (New Window.)

Oh, ok, this is already supported, except for the link target.
To add additional link types requires to be added by code. It is fairly simple. Here are instructions on how to add custom links that I gave to another user.
After you add your custom link types, you can import and export to them. Make sure you have the latest version of the CSV Import installed. You have the option to make a CSV field for a link title field. If you are importing modified CSV files from the built in CSV export these fields will automatically be mapped for you.
Hope this helps!

ParticipantSteven,
I’m new to Code Snippets, so I’m going to need a little help. I’ve installed Code Snippets Plugin and am about to paste and edit the snippet, but am a bit confused.
In the example that you referred to in the previous response, you included some code, then followed it with “add_filter( ‘cn_link_options’, ‘cn_my_new_link_types’ );” which was not formatted as code. should it have been?
In the end, I’m looking to add to Link Fields labled
Link | Billing Website
Link | Claims WebsiteCould you be so kind as to just reply with the syntax that I need?
Thank you.
Mike

KeymasterTry this:
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' );
Hope that helps, let me know.
