@ Mark

I’m really sorry but I do not understand the question. Could you give me more details?

@ Rolf

Sorry, but it is not likely I can do much about this. I suspect that it is the search character limit your web host has placed on your database. Most web hosts seem to set a 3 character limit for “shortwords”. Shortwords are ignored when searching the database. My guess is that your web host has this set to 4 characters instead of the typical 3 character limit. This means any word that is 4 characters or less will be ignored by the database search.

Connections does have logic in place to deal with shortwords, but only if those words are between 2–3 characters long. So, when you are searching, the 4 characters are too long to be dealt with by Connections and its shortword logic while being too short that they are discarded by the database when doing the search.

I do have to ask… how truly impactful is this? It does not seem all that likely that someone will search for less than half a name.

I visited the page and the maps seems to load fine.

Did you by chance use the Code Snippets plugin to make changes to the address types?

RE: How do I change the “View All”

Here’s the link to the tutorial which covers changing strings in Connections.

Original string enter View All
Text domain enter connections
Text context leave blank
Replacement string entry your desired word(s)

RE: How do I change the “Select Category”

This is a template specific string the process is a little different. Add this to your existing shortcode on the page str_select='CHANGE ME'

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Michelle

Navigate to the WordPress Permalinks settings admin page.

Remove the index.php from the permalink structure and save the changes. You should be able to simply choose the Post name option.

After you do this the permalinks will be Connections compatible and just as important, more SEO friendly.

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: I cannot edit the Cmap template. Opening it gives a 404 error.

Make sure you have the directory home page set on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab. The page you choose must have the [connections] shortcode.

RE: Where can I change the texts ‘Show bio’, ‘Close bio’, ‘Biography’,
‘Show map’ and ‘Close map’? Need to change it to local language.

Here is the link to the docs which cover this in detail for cMap.

RE: Can the zoom level of the map by default be adjusted?

Sorry, not without editing PHP the template.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Richard

Could you give me some examples to help me better understand?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Richard

The spelling and capitalization of the original string and text domain is what is important. An error in those fields there will not be a match inorder order to apply replacement string. They have to match exactly.

Hope that helps!
