re: finding Say What?
from the QuickTip: “After you install and activate the Say What? plugin there will be a new menu item added under the Tools admin menu name Text changes.”

re: I know a bunch of plugins use the %username% option.
For something like that to work, the email would have to be sent using Connections. Connections currently doesn’t offer a way to email directory entries. I’ll likely create an extension for that.

Thanks for pointing out the link, I’ve removed it.

And, of course, just send me your link, I’ll add it.

You would have to edit the core template card.php file in order to accomplish. You would also very likely have to make adjustments to the template’s styles.css file to accommodate. The amount of changes required are far more than just a few minor code tweaks that I could provide in a forum post, sorry, if it were I would be more than happy to provide it. If you need custom development, I do have a dev I can recommend. He has plenty of experience with Connections and it’s templates.

Sorry, but Slim Plus does not have mapping features.

If you have a recent version of cMap, 3.0 or greater, the better option is this.

To adjust the bio and note background, here’s the CSS:

#cn-cmap .cn-bio, #cn-cmap .cn-notes, #cn-cmap .cn-gmap {
    background: #f1f1f1;
    border: 1px solid #d3d3d3
}

To adjust the entry border:

#cn-cmap .cn-entry {
    border: 1px solid #d3d3d3;
}

I highly suggest following this QuickTip for adding the custom CSS.

I hope that helps!

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

The limit option is a “core” shortcode option that will work regardless of template being used. Seems like I never added that to the docs, I’ll have to address that.

The page_limit option is only supported by template which have pagination and when pagination is enabled which is why you needed to use the limit option.

Hope that helps!

1. cMap and Market are virtually identical in functionality and features. The primary difference is the presentation and interaction with the categories and the styling. You can use both, many others do, but you have to use them on separate pages.

2. The bio and notes. You can not selectively choose which entries show the bio or notes. However, if you do not enter text in the bio or notes fields, they will not show for that entry. Hope that makes sense.

The widget would have to altered to include a parent field so it can be multiple times, each with a different parent id. This will be part of the updates I mentioned in this reply.

Please read this QuickTip and easy text changes.

The Domain for Form is connections_form. I recommend adding to for each string you wish to change, One for Form, the other for Connections.

Hope that helps.

Looking at you site, it appears you have the Single Entry template option enabled on the Connections : Settings page under the Display tab. I suggest disabling that option so Connections will use the template you copied to the /plugin/ folder.

With that option enabled, it is using the template based on entry type. If you want to keep this behavior, then on the Connections : Templates admin page you need to active you custom template under both the Individual and Organization template type. I hope that makes sense.

I hope that helps!
