Yes, it is possible but would require a custom template to meet your exact requirements. The closest out of box template to this is the Slim/Slim Plus templates. If you know some basic PHP it would not be too difficult to modify it to add the phone and email.

Hope that helps!

@ Alex

What tool did you use to do the scan? Can you share a link to it please?

The search field definitely has a label, so I’m not sure why that would be flagged. The label is hidden with CSS but that would not matter for a screen reader.

The category select does not have a label so something would have to be added.

Here’s a link that shows where to find the code for the search input:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/0.8.11/includes/template/class.template-parts.php#L1284

Here’s a link that shows where to find the code for the category drop down.
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/0.8.11/includes/template/class.template-parts.php#L1711

The file name is class.template-parts.php and can be found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/template/

If you let me know that changes you make, I’ll try to see if they can be easily integrated in Connections.

Hope that helps!

Search can be extended but only programmatically. I have a dev I can recommend who has experience doing this type of work with Connections. Just let me know if that is a path you’d like to take and I’ll ask him to drop by so you and he can get in touch.

You can post the details here as a private reply. Please just followup with a regular non-private reply so I am notified. Thanks!

What exactly was updated? … Right now, I’ll assume just Connections…

The description of the issue is very similar to what happens when there is a fatal javascript error on the page. When that happens, all javascript after the error can not run.

Fatal javascript errors are nearly always caused by the theme or another plugin. Here’s how to tell…

Open the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and click the Console tab. All javascript errors will be listed here. Generally the fatal error will be one that say something is undefined. If you mouseover the filename to the far right of the error message the file path will be shown. Most of the time you can figure out the plugin causing the error by that file path.

Hope that helps, let me know.

@ Emily

Hmmm, impossible to tell from the screenshot what the cause is. If you can give me a temp admin account, I’ll log in debug and fix.

@ Kevin

Since those colors are picked up from the theme, I would need a link to the page where you want the colors changes to give you the correct CSS to use.

@ David

I’ll have to add this to the plugin conflicts.

This can happen when a plugin sets a specific page priority when adding their admin page. If a plugin happens to be in that spot, assigned by WordPress, it will get bumped from the menu.

My experience, it is better to let WordPress manage the priority because defining then only causes issues like this. A quick look thru Master Bar’s code … they add the page with a priority of 100. Which seems to unfortunately be the position Connections occupies (I do not define a priority, I let WordPress assign it).

If you want to use master Bar, you could edit the plugin to remove the priority then things should play together just fine. I found it right here:

https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/master-bar/trunk/admin/options-init.php#L607

You would remove the 100 leaving just the quotes.

Hope that helps!

@ Joel

Honestly, most people are going to just know that clicking on the name will take them somewhere as it is very, very common to see that on sites and in directories.

But if you want to make it even more obvious, add an underline to the links:

.cn-entry h3 a,
.cn-entry a {
    display: inline-block;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
}

Hope that helps!

If I have not asked and you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

@ Joel

You would add enable_bio='false' to our existing shortcode:

[connections template=cmap background_color="transparent" background_gradient=false enable_search=false enable_category_select=false page_limit=10 enable_note=false show_im='false' str_bio_show='Show Details' str_bio_hide='Close Details' str_bio_head='' enable_bio='false']

But scrap that suggestion … that would disable it on the single entry page too. Didn’t think that thru, sorry.

Probably the best that can be done is hidding the link:

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-cmap .cn-bio-anchor.toggle-div {
  display: none;
}
