The Slim Plus template is configured using shortcode options. The options and their defaults can be found on this page.

To turn off the image you would use the image shortcode option by using this shortcode:

[connections image="none"]

Tip: the shortcode options are added to the existing shortcode, they are not added as separate shortcode.

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: What I would like to do is to have a feature where users can click the listing and it will show up in alphabetical order.

Sorry, I think I am more confused now… the listing, by default display in alphabetical order but I do not think that is what you are asking about. What do you want to display in alphabetical order?

RE: Is there a way for me to create a priority view of a category? For instance, if someone wants to show up first on the Automative category, I can set that business to show up first?

Sort of yes, but it is not applied on a per category basis. It is applied globally. Using the Custom Entry Order extension you can set a specific order.

• For example, if you set an entry as “Order 1” that entry would display at the top of the list whether or not if the list was filtered by the Automotive category.
• If that entry were in the Automotive category it would also display at the top of the list when it is filtered by the Automotive category.
• If the list is filtered by another category, it would not display at all, like normal.

I hope this makes sense, let me know.

RE: make the picture a bit larger

Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the cMap template.

The page will reload with the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.

Click the back arrow in the upper left of the Customizer and then click the Image panel.

Change the image type to photo, set your desired width, height and crop mode.

Publish the changes.

Take special note of the instructions presented above the directory in the preview.

You will have to follow them in order to customize the display the of single entry profile view of the template.

RE: I would like to maybe attached a CSS file onto the directory. That way I can maybe add a Google font onto the title and make it colorful.

Most theme’s (not Connections templates) provide a method of adding custom CSS. Generally this is found within the theme Customizer. You can add any custom CSS you may want to add to that space.

RE: How to I structure the listings? I would like the names of the people to show on top. Then the name of the business (organization).

Sorry, I am not exactly sure what you are asking? When adding displaying an Organization entry, you want to display the Contact Name above the Organization name? Is that correct? If it is, the only way to change that would be to edit the PHP of the template.

Perhaps, add the entry as an Individual entry type and then add the business name as the Organization name instead. This will display the entry name above the organization name.

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: Is it possible to construct a meta_query with the condition

Yes, it should be. Change "compare":"=" to "compare":"!=" in the same I gave.

RE: is it possible to update database table directly to update “Membership Type” = ‘Bronze’ if “Membership Type” is not specified (is null)?

Yes, but not a within Connections. You could use a DB tool such as phpMyAdmin, usually available in your web host control panel. You would have to custom craft a query to update the table and its value.

Hope this helps!

RE: Is there a similar filter for email icon? if so are you able to provide it?

Sorry, no, there is not a filter to change this icon. However, and this is untested, you should be able to use a template override file to override how the email address block is rendered.

Create this folder:

../wp-content/uploads/connections-templates/entry/email-addresses/

Copy the email-hcard.php file from this folder to the newly created folder:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/templates//entry/email-addresses/

Edit line 40 to use whatever icon you desire.

The downside of using this method is if I make changes to the source file, you will not receive those updates. One such change is I do plan on removing all the hCard markup when I transition to using Schema.org markup instead to further improve SEO of the directory.

RE: I also noticed you moved the email and link icons out of wpzoom folder into their own folders

It’s been a while, but I think these are not in the folder because they are not actually part of the WPZOOM social media icon set.

RE: will the other social icons follow a similar process customization process ( either filter, folder override or possibly customizer?) Is there by chance an eta?

I am not planning on adding a way to customize the icons via code. What I am planning on doing is how the Social Icons by WPZOOM plugin does it. To see, load its widget into your theme sidebar and click a social media icon. It brings up a popup where you can choose your desired icon.

I plan on adding this to the Fieldset Configuration Settings admin page.

Sound like a good plan to you? As for ETA, before end of year.

RE: i used css to manually override the height and width of the email and link icons, is there a similar template option method for the email and link icons?

Yes, for email use array( 'size' => 24 ) for links use array( 'icon_size' => 24 ). Not sure why I decided to use a different option name for that one :/

Hope this helps, let me know.

Looking at the page, there are many HTML errors. Load the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then click the Console tab.

Most of the errors seem to occur no matter the page on your site. My first suggestion would be to resolve those. They appear to be caused by the login and registration forms being added to every page but set so they do not display.

Another error seems to be caused by the CDN, preventing the some fonts from being loaded.

These shouldn’t cause the issue you are experiencing, but it would be a good to eliminate those as the cause.

There is one error that will definitely break Form. It is the one that says “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined”.

It is difficult to tell why the error is occuring due to the Hummingbird cache and the CDN. Can you disable Hummingbird temporarily?
