    Hello,

    I want to use a link (site/?CONCAT=CATEGORY) to my site with the connections shortcode.
    The connections shortcode should use the CONCAT variable as category_slug.
    Like this: [connections category_slug="CONCAT"]

    But this does not work.
    How can I do this?

    Thank you.

    This can not be with the shortcode. You will have to hook into the cn_list_atts filter. This filter provide an associative array. Set the category_slug key to the value of your CONCAT query variable and return the array.

    Hope this helps!

    Oh, alternatively, simple use cn-cat-slug as your query var instead of CONCAT.
