I have added the contact extension with CMap template but the only way to go to the contact page is by clicking the name of the entry. There is a shortcode for str_contact=’Contact’ but this does not show up at all. How can I get the contact form to show up in the list view or at least for there to be a link to the single entry page where the contact form is.

The str_contact shortcode option is only to customize the label of the contact first and last name. That field is available when adding an organization entry type. I guess the short answer would have been that shortcode option is not a feature of the Contact form.

Currently the only way to access the contact form is by way of the entry profile page. That said, with a bit of code, it can be enabled in the results list too.

Install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_content_blocks-list', array( 'CN_Contact', 'settingsOption') );
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'cn_contact_enqueue_scripts', 12 );

function cn_contact_enqueue_scripts() {

    if ( ! get_query_var( 'cn-entry-slug' ) ) {

        wp_enqueue_style( 'cnct-public' );
        wp_enqueue_script( 'cnct-public' );
    }

}

Save and activate the snippet.

Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Display tab.

Enable the Email Entry option under the Results List Content Blocks.

Now the Contact form will be shown on the results list.

But, for it to actually function, I need to release an update to Contact that contains a couple minor tweaks. I’ll try to release it this week.

Hope that helps!

Thank you, that’s great! Please let me know when you have made the update.
