We have a WP website using connections to list affiliates. The client would like to show just the search box and drop down list on one page and when someone searches for an affiliate, it would show on another page rather than listing all of them one after the other on the same page. Can this be done? Thanks

I see you have cMap, so yes, you can do this. Here’s how…

Install the Code Snippets plugin.
Download and unzip the file attached to this reply.
Import the code snippet XML file, search.code-snippets.xml, into Code Snippets. See the FAQs on where to find the import feature.
Activate the newly imported snippet.
Lastly, add initial_results=false to the [connections] shortcode.

That should do it.

Hi Steven,
We are actually using tile-plus template. I figured out away to get just the search box to show using another plugin but it won’t show the drop down of categories. So I would like to try your solution however it doesn’t work. It only shows the words Search Directory in a garbled text. Is there something in the xlm I need to change that maybe references the cmap template? Thanks.

Hi Steven,
I tried changing all references from CNT_cMap to CNT_tile-plus and added initial_results=false to my connections shortcode but it gives me an internal server error.
Trying to add it to this page http://www.habitatforhumanityofohio.org/advanced-search/ so as not to disturbe the site.

You can substitute CNT_cMap, but you need to use CNT_TilePlus. I think that is all that needs done.

Hi Steven,
Still need help with this if you have a moment. The page is just showing garbled heading Search Directory and no search box or drop down. Thanks

In the snippet, please remove this line:
$replace = str_replace( array( "rn", "r", "n", "t" ), array( ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘, ‘ ‘ ), $replace );

Hi Steven,
I get an internal server error with the new snippet. I tried adding initial_results=false to the connections shortcode but no go. This is the shortcode I am currently using
[connections template='tile-plus' show_image='false' show_alphaindex='false' repeat_alphaindex='true' width='100%' str_contact='Contact' str_work_addr='Address' str_work_phone='Phone' str_work_fax='Fax' str_work_email='Email']

Thanks
Cindy

@ Cindy

Which snippet did you download? Please use this one instead.

After you import it, you will have to make the edit I mention in this forum reply because the quotes on one line will not be imported correctly.

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
