I note that the Show Bio does not clickable in the cmap template for me
http://dev.mainelakeschamber.com/membership/

Also I am not following how link works. For each email address I need to create a WordPress user? If so what privileges do I give them?

Also where can I change the Show Bio to something like More Info?

Finally on the above link why does it show Other in front of the Address?

re: note that the Show Bio does not clickable in the cmap template for me
Seems to be a odd CSS conflict with the theme. The theme is settings the position globally on div‘s. Not sure why that would be done, but this can be overridden within the template with the following CSS:

#cn-cmap div {
    position: initial;
}

Add it to the theme’s custom CSS area. That should fix it I think.

re: Also I am not following how link works. For each email address I need to create a WordPress user? If so what privileges do I give them?
In short, yes. Create a user for each entry ensuring they have matching email addresses. as for privileges, that is up to you. I suggest give the users the Subscriber role as it has the least privileges. And then make sure to give the Subscriber role the add/edit entry capabilities on the Connections : Roles admin page.

re: where can I change the Show Bio to something like More Info?
Sure, see this FAQ. All the str_***** option can be found on this page.

re: why does it show Other in front of the Address?
That is the address type you selected when you added the address. Selecting another address type will change it to the corresponding label.

Hope that helps!

The css worked great for the Bio – thanks.
Thanks for the clarification on the Link.

So I did a major import of this database – is their a way to do an export and change that universally?

One last quesiton – we want to set a few of the businesses to be “featured” using some sort of sidebar widget – before I create my on solution – does Connections have a featured listing option of some sort?

Very pleased with this plugin and it’s support!

re: is there a way to do an export and change that universally?
Sorry, no, not yet, maybe in a future version.

re: does Connections have a featured listing option of some sort?
Again, sorry, no. Other users create a featured category. What you could do is create a featured category, exclude that category (if you want) from you directory and then use maybe the Default Card template or maybe the Tile template in the sidebar text widget (that way you can use the shortcode). You just need to install a plugin that enables shortcodes in text widgets or, alternatively, install Code Snippets and add a new snippet with the following code:

// Use shortcodes in text widgets.
add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

I suggest the Code Snippets method. It’s an insanely useful plugin. Use it any time you come across a tut/tip where they say to add it to the theme’s functions.php file instead.

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

Thanks!

Sure, the “Other” label can be change or the labels can be removed entirely. See this FAQ on how to change labels. All the str_***** option can be found on this page.

To remove the label you can use the addr_format shortcode option that is anabled by cMap.

Hope that helps.
