@ karin

Sorry, but I’ve read this a couple times and I am unsure to as what the question is. I’ve looked at the page and I see some custom CSS that is being applied to the template. Are you asking how to remove it? If so, you need to navigate to where you added that CSS and delete it. Sorry that I can not offer more specific advice.

@ Richard

I took a look at the page and the browser’s console. It does show me errors. They seem to indicate that you might have disabled the Google Maps API. PLease navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab. Scroll down to the bottom and enable the Google Maps API option. After you do this, let me know. Thanks!

Navigate to the WordPress Permalinks settings admin page. Remove index.php from your permalink link structure. That will make it compatible with Connections and it will make you site’s links more SEO friendly.

Hope that helps!

@ Paul

I am sorry, but I am not sure I understand your question. Do you mean where do you save the filter? My suggestion is to install the Code Snippets plugin and and a new snippet which contains the code for your new filter.

I do have an advanced search addon available to those who purchase either the pro pack or extension pro pack and request it. It’s not generally available due to it being a complex to setup, so I do offer setup as a service. If you know shortcodes very well, it is really not that difficult. I can provide it and instruction if you purchase one of these those bundles. You can see an enable of it running on this live 3rd party site:

Sorry, no, it is not possible to selectively hide a map.

RE: RE: Why can’t get a Preview when is editing an Entry.

I would need more details on how your client would expect this to work. A feature like this would have to be integrated into Connections. So, their expectations of how the preview would work will also need to be compatible with how others use Connections. The best possible solution I can think of is loading the entry in a lightbox on the add/edit page displayed in the current activated template. Doing this would be a lot of development time.

RE: Save and reload (same as a page or post)

I do not think this would be that difficult to implement, but, it would have to be done in a way that would not affect anyone else.

Please contact me via the Contact link at the very bottom of the page so we can take this discussion to email and work out a quote for your client.

RE: As for the header text, I meant the label, like Keyword Search

Oh, ok, that would be the widget title. That would be picked up from the theme. Here’s how you set the font size:

.widget_cnw_search h2.widgettitle {
    font-size: 24px;
}

Hope this helps!

RE: Maybe because I’m guessing at the field names.

Open the page in Chrome. Right click on the keyword search input and select the Inspect option from the menu. Now you will be able to see the class and id selectors you need to use.

RE: Is it possible to change the size of the header text

I’m not sure what you mean by header text. Could you give more detail?

RE: size of the search box?

Yes but not easily. This should get you started:

input#cn-search-input {
    font-size: 14px;
    height: 32px;
    line-height: 32px;
}

input#cn-search-submit {
    height: 32px;
}

Tweak as desired.

Hope this helps!

It is not that the shortcodes are “wiped out”. When no results are displayed the cMap search and category drop down are not being used at all. What you’ll need to do is edit the plugin you downloaded from the tutorial to change the category drop down default text and remove the keyword search field.

To remove the keyword search, you would delete this line:

$search    = cnTemplatePart::search( $atts );

And change this line from:

$replace = $formOpen . $category . $search . $formClose;

to this:

$replace = $formOpen . $category . $formClose;

You might get away with not having to edit the default text for the category select by adding the following to the [connections] shortcode:

default="Select Specialty Type" select_all="Show All Specialties"

You would leave all you existing options as is, add these to the existing shortcode.

Hope this helps!
