The only real way to accomplish this at the moment is to assign entries to a “Featured” category and then put the shortcode on the page twice with the top one limit to show only the “Featured” categories.

Question? Per our previous discussions … your not looking to do this on the directory home page per say, but when a user clicks thru to a single entry, right?

I removed the comment about this topic since this is a better place to have the conversation on this topic.

Per you’re comment, you’re using the list_type feature, a bug has been identified and is fixed. A bug fix release will occur this weekend, look for version 0.7.6.2.

Simply deactivating and re-activating the plugin seems to resolve the issue. Not sure why a very few out of many thousands encounter this … any why the next update I’ve added a check for cnRole and if not found will specifically load the file …. even though it is already included.

@ David

Yep, working on it. Fluid layouts for Slim and the new Slim Plus are ready to go … other are going to follow.

@ Mitch

No it should be this, sorry.

$permalink = $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ? trailingslashit( get_permalink( $homeID ) ) : get_permalink($homeID);

@ Mitch

Ok, first, I have not tested this at all, but it should work…

Open the class.utility.php file.
On line 426, you’ll find a variable named: $homeID
Copy this variable.
Now, go to line 434 which should be this:

$permalink = $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ? trailingslashit( get_permalink() ) : get_permalink();

Now using the $homeID variable make the changes so line 434 because this:

$permalink = $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ? trailingslashit( $homeID ) : get_permalink( $homeID );

Now, no matter what, the link should always point to the directory home page.

Let me know how you make out.

@ Bruno Aardenburg

No, this is not by design and I can’t replicate this. Can I get a temp admin account?

Oh, I removed the comments, just now, since this is a better place to have this discussion.

Ugh. What you’re seeing is right … the logic for the links when the shortcode is used on a page will direct to the page it was used on. This complex logic was put in place to support all those using Connections to run multiple directories on multiple pages … it’s the widgets that will always direct to the home page.

The only thing I can think of to make this work for you in this way letting you know the small edit you need to make to force the home linking … another option might be to add an option to the “Advanced” tab to force home page linking….

Thoughts?
