Sounds as if you really need to create a custom template. You can find the files for the default template here:
…/wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/card

I recommend making a copy of that folder and files. Put that copy here:
../wp-content/connections_templates

Change the folder name from “card” to whatever. Keep it all lowercase with hyphens for spaces.

Open the meta.php change the details as needed.

Now you can make most your changes to the template.php file.

To change the text, take a look at this post for a very easy way to do that:

Sorry for the delay, but I hope that helps.

@ Michael 

Usually a temp WordPress admin account is all I need.

@ George

One last question, which version of cMap are you running?

[Steven Zahm]

@ George

I do believe transient are stored in the options table. Honestly, I’d have took again. The TTL is defined on create and I believe I set it to 24 hours. But I make sure to flush the transient on activate and deleting a template.

@ Anthony

Go to the Connections : Categories admin page and edit the “G” category. Change the category slug to be anything other than just “g”. That should fix it up.

Looks like IE still obeys the old way. It is interesting that it takes precedence over the new way. Unfortunately there really isn’t a fix that can be done easily. The good news, I I have prefixed the in page links and committed those changes last night so it will be fixed in 0.7.6.5 when hits, likely this weekend.

Right, Connections is not a custom post type. Connections is actually much older than that feature. I contemplated converting it over but the post schema for the database just doesn’t fit well with a database schema designed for directories. I know there have been several other directory plugins that have popped up in the last couple years that do use custom post types. This does allow them to more rapidly expand their feature set because they can leverage many more of the available WordPress APIs for custom post types where as I do have to build from the the ground up. But I think in the end might be limiting, maybe.

I do admit Connections is screaming for the need of a TinyMCE button or better yet metafield where a user can simply check the entries they want to be displayed on the page. Actually, that would not be too difficult to do. But, unfortunately, using the shortcode with the ID is the only way to do this right now. Sorry.

It’s actually not hard coded. The info is stored in a temporary transient to prevent unnecessary hits to the file system. So this would actually resolve itself.

What’s interesting, I could have sworn I didn’t store the file path just the file name in the transient when creating the new templating API. That is how WordPress handles plugins. I’m going to have to take a close look at the code.

@ Josh

The entry should still be saved even if the image doesn’t. I know other users have posted submission guidelines above the form.

The next release will have a little message warning about the file size. Additionally, it will have better error handling.

@ Helen

Sorry for the delay … I’ll get to it by the weekend.
