a much cleaner solution than the one i was looking at using (php plugin and some php code).

thanks for the great plug in.

Ok thanks for the fast reply.

I know the answer is likely no, but could a custom field, or one of the one of the extensions, be modified to act like a dropdown or select field (like what happens in the category form field) or just a list (like what happens in the extensions). Only requirement is that when clicked it filters out all entries by that one field. I would then hide the country field from the form

Worked perfectly. Thanks for the great plugin and support.

worked, thanks.

Final question on topic, can the parent category name be hidden? so that only the children categories are listed?

just need to determine how to show only display the one parent.

thanks

Hi again,

the category=47 works great to display only the parent category cards, but all the categories still show up in category select menu.

I get the following warning in the console

Google Maps API warning: NoApiKeys https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#no-api-keys

I tried disabling plugins, updated to latest version of circled, and went to 2015 default theme, renamed customized template section. I have checked my functions.php and disabled all snippets to see if anything could have affected the code, not sure where else to look.

and still had all categories in the category select menu and a blank first row

the source code output is as follows:

<

form class=”cn-form” id=”cn-cat-select” action=”” method=”get”><select class=”cn-category-select cn-enhanced-select” name=”cn-cat” onchange=”this.form.submit()” data-placeholder=”Select Category”>
<option value=””></option>
<option value=’0′>Show All Categories</option>
<option class=”cn-cat-level-0″ style=”padding-left: 7px !important;” value=”1″>Other</option>
<option class=”cn-cat-level-0″ style=”padding-left: 7px !important;” value=”46″>Partners</option>
<option class=”cn-cat-level-1″ style=”padding-left: 19px !important;” value=”4″>Partner Associations</option>
<option class=”cn-cat-level-0″ style=”padding-left: 7px !important;” value=”47″>Skills</option>
<option class=”cn-cat-level-1″ style=”padding-left: 19px !important;” value=”6″>Accounting</option>

everything above accounting should not be listed.

one of circled demo sites: http://www.womenintesting.com/directory/ also shows same blank first row in their category select menu.

as a test I installed Gridder and the select category appeared, but so did the other categories that were not children of 47

any ideas would be great.

Hi Steven thanks for the quick reply,

yes it helped, the form now lists only the parent category.

I am using circled template, with the category select enabled.

I have tried various shortcodes but nothing seems to affect the category search.

my shortcode is as follows [connections exclude_category='4' parent_category='47' template='circled' enable_category_select=true .....more stuff...]

• I would like only category 47 and its children to appear in the dropdown. is this possible?
• Also is there a way for the category select to say select a category instead of being blank?

[DOMINIC]

Hi Steven,

my connections table looks like:

27 bio longtext utf8_general_ci
28 notes longtext utf8_general_ci

when i tried to change to utf8mb4_unicode_ci I get:

Query error:

<h1>1283 – Column ‘bio’ cannot be part of FULLTEXT index</h1>

thanks for all the great support.

Hi,

Yes, It helped a lot thanks. I did not see the shortcode attribute, in the tile-plus documentation.

I also managed to use the snippet you refereed to, changed slim-plus to tile-plus and had the submit button showing.

Would be great to see the OR possibility as a future feature request.

thanks again for great plugin.
