    Hi Steven,

    We installed the 3.01 update to cMap, and as you pointed out, it will now show multiple web links. Thank you for the excellent plug in and the update.

    But… under cMap 2.1, the link could be customized (and in my case, I had it changed to “View Resume”, and the single available link would take visitors to a short web “resume” of the person. (The text “Website:” did not appear at all, and having it NOT appear is what we wanted)

    With the update, the text reads “Website: http://yada.yada.yada/yada yada” (too long and not user friendly). Please visit “About Us – Our People” to see what I mean. I’m hoping that the link which appears for everyone can again just be “Visit Resume” (leaving out the “Website:” piece), and the second link (See Sisinnio Concas’ card) can be customized as well.

    I have not tinkered with the shortcodes, but will be happy to do so if they required changes to deal with cMap 3.01. I did not find a page with shortcodes for 3.01.

    Thank you for your assistance!

    @ Ken

    Unfortunately I will not be reverting to the previous functionality because I need to keep parity between the template feature set and Connections. However, there is a different method that may work for your needs. Try this shortcode:

    [connections link_format='%title%']

    This will remove the label and the colon separator showing only the link title.
