Oh, you could use a WordPress menu widget and build one. Create a new menu (under the Appearance menu) in WordPress add a Link to each state like so:
http://domain.tld/directory-home-page/region/state-slug

Add one for each state. It is a little work but it once and done.

Now you can use the WordPress Menu Widget and place that sate menu in your sidebar.

Hope that helps!

Sorry, no, not out of the box. If you know PHP and WordPress plugins, it wouldn’t be difficult to custom code.

Right, template specific strings use the str_***** shortcode options. It is on my todo list to make them translation ready so one could use the Say What? plugin to make changes but honestly, it is lower on the priority list.

@ Jessica

No problem!

If I have not asked…

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

If I understand the question correctly, the http://connections-pro.com/documentation/cmap/#Can_I_use_cMap_on_two_different_pages_showing_different_categories_in_the_drop_down option is what you’re looking for.

Does that helps?

@ Jessica

The width, height and background color of the cn-entry class are controlled by the shortcode options I linked to in my previous reply. The for the width and height of the image. The floated div, that is coded into the template, card.php file. To override that, you have two options, create an override file for card.php as explained in this QuickTip or to use CSS:

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry div:first-child {
    float: none !important;
    margin: 0 !important;
}

Hope that helps clear it up better.

A URL to the Linkedin profile can be added as a Social Network ID when adding an entry. Currently there is not a way to export the Connections data into a spreadsheet, sorry.

I hope that addresses you questions.

@ Mark

Interesting, I’ll have to look into adjusting the javascript to account for that in IE 11.

@ TeresaC

Oh, I almost forgot, image scaling.

Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and make sure the image ration is either scale or crop, not none. After you make that change, you’ll have to reupload the images so the new settings will be applied to the image.

@ TeresaC

In short, I think the cMap template is what you need. It meets nearly all your requirements. You can make it look more like the default template by removing its gradient, see this doc page for more.

The one item that is not met is the category links. Right now, that is not possible regardless of the template. Oh, cMap actually does not show the categories the entry has been assigned to like the default template does.

I hope that helps!
