Sorry, forgot … I also do not see the lat/long. Those should be shown by default. Since I don’t see it on your page I’m assuming you’ve resolved the issue, yes?

@ griddancer

Sorry, but there is no bulk category editing.

I looked at the page, I do not see any entries with “Other” on them? Was that perhaps the address type that now says “Work”?

@ griddancer

My apologies for such a late reply! For some reason I’m no longer being notified of new support forum posts only replies to posts already submitted; that is why I’m just noticing.

The active template determines what is shown. the active template can be set on the Connections : Templates admin page. Different template show more or less info. The basic core template suit most users but if you need a little more control, you’ll need to purchase one of the premium template. cMap is by far the most popular template. It does have over 60 options to control what is displayed. The options are controlled by setting shortcode options. Most of the options available to cMap do have documentation with examples. That should ease you into shortcode and how to use them.

I hope that helps and, again, my apologies!

The only way to make the bio a required field is to make a small edit to the connections_form.php file.

Search for this line:

$out .= '<textarea rows="20" cols="40" name="bio" id="cn-form-bio"></textarea>';

Change it to this:

$out .= '<textarea class="required" rows="20" cols="40" name="bio" id="cn-form-bio"></textarea>';

You will than have to disable the rich text editor by setting the rte shortcode option to FALSE; like so:
[connections_form rte=FALSE]

That’s the easiest. If you really want the rich text editor; the change is not harder but does appear like it is because of where the change has to be made. Here’s how:

Search for this block of code:

wp_editor(	$entry->getBio(),
	'cn-form-bio',
	array
	(
		'media_buttons' => FALSE,
		'wpautop' => TRUE,
		'textarea_name' => 'bio',
		'tinymce' =>	array
						(
							'theme_advanced_buttons1' => 'bold, italic, underline, |, bullist, numlist, |, justifyleft, justifycenter, justifyright, |, link, unlink, |, pastetext, pasteword, removeformat, |, undo, redo',
							'theme_advanced_buttons2' => '',
							'inline_styles' => TRUE,
							'relative_urls' => FALSE,
							'remove_linebreaks' => FALSE,
							'plugins' => 'inlinepopups,spellchecker,tabfocus,paste'
						),
		'quicktags' =>	array
						(
							'buttons' => 'strong,em,ul,ol,li,close',
						)
	)
);

And change it to this:

wp_editor(	$entry->getBio(),
	'cn-form-bio',
	array
	(
		'media_buttons' => FALSE,
		'wpautop' => TRUE,
		'textarea_name' => 'bio',
		'editor_class' => 'required',
		'tinymce' =>	array
						(
							'theme_advanced_buttons1' => 'bold, italic, underline, |, bullist, numlist, |, justifyleft, justifycenter, justifyright, |, link, unlink, |, pastetext, pasteword, removeformat, |, undo, redo',
							'theme_advanced_buttons2' => '',
							'inline_styles' => TRUE,
							'relative_urls' => FALSE,
							'remove_linebreaks' => FALSE,
							'plugins' => 'inlinepopups,spellchecker,tabfocus,paste'
						),
		'quicktags' =>	array
						(
							'buttons' => 'strong,em,ul,ol,li,close',
						)
	)
);

That should do it. I hope that helps!

@ Christian

I would like to apologize for my delay in my reply as I was not receiving my notices for new support forum posts for about a week. Just reply notices to ones that were already started which is why I’m just now noticing.

Yes, Form is still available. Somehow, and I can’t imagine how, the page was trashed. I’ve restored the page.

I checked the order status. It says pending because PayPal hasn’t recorded the transaction as completed. I’ve checked, no funds have been transferred. there have been many sales since you attempted your purchase so it is working. Not sure what the issue may have been.

Again my apologies!

I’ll do my best to answer all your questions in this thread and the other…

To left align the category drop could be hard because I think something else is conflicting. But try adding the following CSS to the end of the theme’s style.css file:

#cn-slim-plus .cn-search { float: right !important; }
#cn-slim-plus form { text-align: left; }
#cn-slim-plus .chzn-container { text-align: left !important; }
#cn-slim-plus #cn-page-nav { text-align: left; }

@ franco

Can you share a link to your directory page so I can take a look?

Which version of Excerpt Plus do you have installed? Nevermind… That seems to be a bug with the template.

Can you give me a temp admin account? I’;ll log in real quick and fix it for you. You can post the details here as a private reply.

You could use the category shortcode option. that should do the trick.

As for the image size on the single entry. The only way to change that is to edit the template’s core PHP file. Here’s how:

Open this file:
../wp-content/plugins/excerpt-plus/card-single.php

Change this:

$entry->getImage( array(
    'image'    => 'photo' ,
    'height'   => 120 ,
    'width'    => 100 ,
    'fallback' => array(
        'type'     => 'block' ,
        'string'   => 'No Photo Available'
        )
    )
);

To this:

$entry->getImage( array(
    'image'    => 'photo' ,
    'height'   => 300,
    'width'    => 225,
    'fallback' => array(
        'type'     => 'block' ,
        'string'   => 'No Photo Available'
        )
    )
);

Hope that helps!

It looks like it working fine. I just tested with a random partial name:

Are you asking about using the WordPress native search up at the very top of your site? If that is the case, no, Connections entries will not be returned as results.
