hello,

i just purchased and installed the circled template. I chose this one because we wanted a drop down list and search capabilities at the top of the page for searching and filtering through the names.

Here is our page: http://nspt4kids.com/blossom-directory/ but how do I get the search bar and drop down on there?

@ Robyn

Those feature are disabled by default because of the small team focus of the design but they are very easy to turn on. Take a look at the Configuring the Optional Features section on the doc page for the template. It’ll walk thru how to enable them.

Hope that helps!

Is it possible to have the the search bar show on the page with no results underneath until search criteria is entered? Also, can the size of the search bar be changed?

re: Is it possible to have the the search bar show on the page with no results underneath until search criteria is entered?

Technically this is possible. I’ve been asked this a few times in the support forums now so I’ve added a new Quicktip that goes over the details.

re: Also, can the size of the search bar be changed?

Yes, the styling is controlled with CSS you can basically do anything you want to it.

You can try this, though you may have to tweak it to suit… add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-circled input#cn-search-input {
  height: 42px !important;
  font-size: 36px !important;
  line-height: normal !important;
}

#cn-circled input#cn-search-submit {
  height: 42px !important;
}

#cn-circled span.cn-search {
  margin-bottom: 16px !important;
  text-align: center !important;
  display: block !important;
  float: none !important;
}

Hope that helps!

Steven,

I followed the quick tip instructions to the letter but the change had no impact ont he display on the page I am trying to have the connections search bar display on – it still displays the full list under the search bar.

I tried it by putting it into the functions file direct and then using the plugin you recommended but both times without success.

Can you confirm this will work on a page not just on a post?

Cheers,

Adam.

@ Lisa

Did you update the shortcode too like the QuickTip says at the end?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Lisa

Oh, and yes, this does work on a page.

[Lisa Barty]

@Steven

I am using this shortcode…

[connections initial_results='true']

I have turned on debug mode in WP and get no errors from the functions file.

The result displayed is the full directory listing underneath the search bar, its as if the shortcode is not being picked up at all?

Do you have a working example of this functionality?

thanks – Adam
