Actually this is quite complex and there is no point and click interface to create these fields yet. Unless you very adept at creating plugins for WordPress the only real easy option is to work this into your category structure, sorry.

Sure, here’s the code snippet:

function cn_cmap_add_submit_button( $atts, $results ) {
	
	if ( $atts['enable_category_multi_select'] ) {
		
		cnTemplatePart::submit( array( 'return' => FALSE ) );
	}
}

add_action( 'cn_action_list_before-cmap', 'cn_cmap_add_submit_button', 99, 2 );

To use it, install the Code Snippets plugin. Add a new snippet, give it a name and description and paste in the code from above, save and activate. No file editing necessary!

That should do it.

Changing the background for cMap can be quite difficult because the CSS that creates it is quite complex. With that said, I did build a couple shortcode options into cMap to make this very easy. See this doc page on how to adjust the background.

So, to match your screenshot, this should do the trick:

[connections background_color="black" background_gradient='FALSE']

Hope that helps!

Yes, there is, see the exclude_category shortcode option doc page.

That should do it.

This is a new error… we’ll have to start with the basics.

First, take a look at your PHP error log to see if any errors are being recorded. Make sure you visit the Connections : Templates admin page first and note the date/time. The log can be quite long and that will locate any related messages. (Note, the log time might not be in the same time zone, keep that in mind. If you do not know where the error log is, you’ll have to ask your web host because that can differ between hosts.

Can you disable all other plugins to see if the error persists? If you disable all plugins and it is fixed, then there would somehow be a conflict with another plugin.

It could possibly be that the memory assigned to PHP is being exhausted. See this excellent post on how to increase the memory. It outlines several ways to do it. Which will will work will depend on your web host. I recommend starting at the top and working your way down.

If the issue persists after disabling all other plugins, then I’ll need a tem,p admin account so I can take a look.

Not typical… My test database has over 25K entries… I could not not the page which has the directory on the site. Could you please give a direct link so I can take a look?

Adding a languages field would require an extension to be written which adds that field. That seems like a great free extension for me to write and release. I added it to my to do list. If this is something you’d like to write, you could refer to the free Education Levels and Income Levels extensions on how to add the Languages field.

Alternatively, you could use categories. Create a parent category “Languages” and then add each language you need as a child category.

Hope that helps!

@ Joe

Good to hear you were able to get this resolved! Form the initial description my first thought was a caching issue…

@ Xavier

Sorry, I do not exactly follow what the issue is, but I’ll do my best…

The first thing I see is there are extra spaces in the shortcode, use this:
[connections category_name='speakers' list_type='individual' template='card-single']

Read this QuickTip on working with shortcodes.

Now, with said, using the template shortcode option may not be the best option because that option overrides the settings set in the admin.

Instead try this…

Go the Connections : Settings admin page and enable the Single Entry Template option under the Display tab.

Now go to the Connections : Templates admin page.

Under the All template type active your desired template when viewing the results list, the list of entries.

Finally under the Individual and Organization template types activate the desired template you want to be used when displaying a single entry.

Hope that helps!

Yeah, sorry, the cMap shortcode doc page hasn’t been updated yet.

Your purchase was before the license key system was enabled. Because of this, you can get free manual updates. I can generate the license keys for you so you can receive in-admin updates but then you’ll have to renew them annually in order to continue receiving updates manual or in-admin. The better deal for you is to keep things they way they are and just manually check for and apply updates. But if you wish to have in-admin updates, I can generate the the key for you just let me know.

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to leave a review!
