@ Bob

Is this “stock” Connections and cMap? Meaning, are they as supplied and not edited in any way?

It is odd because the link anchor for the image is being used for the image src instead of just the URL of the image. I was not able to duplicate this on my test site.

If no edits have been done to Connections or cMap, please create a temp admin account using this plugin:

Could you define broken?

[Steven Zahm]

Sorry, but cMap does not support a columnar layout. It is designed specifically to be displayed in a single column.

That said, others have tried it only to revert back because the expanding content trays for the bio/map/notes do not lend themselves well to the columnar layout. Here’s the basics to get your started. You’ll need to do a lot more tweaking though.

#cn-cmap .cn-list-row,
#cn-cmap .cn-list-row-alternate {
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 10px 20px 0;
    max-width: 28%
}

Hope that helps!

RE: I want to add a login button on the menu. How can i do this ?

The main menu to your pages? Many times theme’s have that as a built in option. I recommend looking thru the theme options to see if it already has such an option.

If it does not, you could try the Login Logout Register Menu. I’ve personally never used it s it may or may not work.

Alternatively you could use the free Login extension for Connections. With this you can place a login widget in the theme’s sidebar. It also has the benefit of working together with Link to display the add/edit entry links to the user when they are logged in.

RE: Is it possible to display two different directory ?

Yes, many users do this by displaying different directory separated by category. Here’s how to configure the cMap template. This method will work woth any of the premium templates, which I recommend.

RE: Is it possible to display just a part of information entries (name,logo and company)in the directory ?

The easiest solution is to only enter the data you want to display. Empty fields do not display.

The Default template and the cMap template have a customizer. Navigate to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the Default template. First, make sure you have set the Directory home page on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab. Make sure the selected page has the [connections] shortcode on it.

The will open the Customizer and a preview. Here you can choose what to display on the list view of the template.

In the preview, click any entry name, the preview will refresh displaying the single entry profile view. You can now choose what to display in this view.

After you make your choices, click the Publish button to save the changes.

Hope this helps!

This is possible, but in doing so, the submitor will be able to submit as many entries as they would like, all submissions would have to be moderated and submitor will not be “linked” to the submission so they will not be able to maintain it.

To do this, follow the Form instructions for adding the “Submit Entry” link.

The navigate to your directory page, copy the URL for the submit entry link.

You can use this URL on your landing page.

You can turn off the submit entry link if you do not want it above the directory.

Hope this helps!

Ok, I think this is corrected. I think the code to enable compatibility with the Divi “Grab first post image” option was bugged in a way which would actually enable the option on all posts where the [connections] shortcode was not on. I tweaked the logic so the code would only run if that option was actually already enabled (Divi’s default).

Apologies for the trouble!

Hmmm… ok, the Divi compatibility code I added several version back might have a bug that appears for you.

Use this plugin to create a temp admin:

Sorry, but this will not work with a checkbox group custom field. Only text fields. The reason is that the way the data in the database needs to be stored. The data for a checkbox field is not saved as text which can not be used with a meta_query.
