@ Anthony

You need either the Enhanced Categories or Widget Pack extensions.

The Enhanced Categories extension has an option to display the category list above the directory.

The Widget Pack includes a widget which can list the categories in the theme’s sidebar.

Hope that helps!

Use the page limit shortcode option page_limit=25.

Hope that helps!

You can use CSS. Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry.cn-background-gradient {
    background: white !important;
    border-radius: 0 !important;
}

Hope that helps!

RE: The photo is being submitted. I can see it, which I click into an indiviidual submission to edit it. But I cannot see a thumbnail in the alphabetical list of all submissions.

Can you attach a screenshot showing the admin page and editing an entry? You can attach images when you login to the support forum.

RE: I notice I have an issue on both individual submission page and in the directory list (expandable map), that the google map does not show.

Have you setup you Google Maps API key?

I seen themes that apply styles to images globally that mess up the display of the map tiles. Usually it is along the line of setting the image size to max width. So it could be this. If you can share a link to a page with the trouble, I can take a look.

RE: How can I do to increase column width to fill the page width?

Please see this FAQ on how to change the tile size of the Tile Plus template.

RE: how can I show all entries in one page (without pagination)?

Use the Tile Plus enable_pagination shortcode option, example [connections enable_pagination=false]. I do not suggest displaying more than 50 at a time or the page may load too slowly. This is not a Connections limitation, the same would occur if you were to try to display as many WP posts on a single page. You can attempt it with more if you wish. page loading my be satisfactory.

Hope that helps!

RE: I’ve tried to install Tile plus template as a plugin but wordpress says that folder already exists:

Sounds like you renamed the zip file because WP was preventing you from installing it over top of the core Connections plugin.

RE: How can I customize css?

You can use custom template CSS override files, see this tutorial. Or you can add teh CSS to the theme’s custom CSS area.

@ Melissa

Yes a few users have suddenly experienced this issue. I do have a fix incorporated in the next update which I am still working on. It’s a larger update which is not quite ready for release.

The quick temp fix is to temporarily deactivate the Enhanced Categories extension for Connections. Make the necessary category changes and then reactivate it.

Apologies for the trouble! Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: I came across the issue of the submitted images not transferring over, when using All In One WP Migration – resolved this by individually uploading new images myself in the Connections-Manage Dashboard.

If All In One WP Migration attempting to update IMG URLs in the database tables, it is possible it incorrectly corrected them. In a more recent update, I did change the URL to be a relative URL which should not be “autocorrected” by migration plugins. This change however will only effect newly uploaded images, it does not go back and change the previously saved URLs. In cases of site migration, Connections gracefully handles the changed URL. Any way hopefully this change helps others.

RE: In manage dashboard, when looking at the alphabetical list of submissions, I cannot see the thumbnail of the submitted. – This would be really helpful to quickly know who has or has not submitted an image, without having to open that individual submisison and then check the image there.

Which image is being submitted? The photo image is displayed on the admin Manage page. However, the logo is not. I have been receiving a few requests for displaying the logo as an option. So, I probably add this as a screen option in a future update.

RE: My live directory, using cMaps looks as I want it, and I have done customization of some colours etc..
However, when I open an individual submission on the directory by clicking on organisation name, I do not see the submitted image any more.

On the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab, if you enabled the Single Entry Template option, please disable it.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Larger Media

Another came across this post and suggested the following CSS. Add it to the theme’s custom CSS area. After you do the bio and notes will be displayed.

#cn-cmap .cn-note-anchor,
#cn-cmap .cn-bio-anchor,
#cn-cmap .toggle-bio-note-divider {
    display: none !important;
}

#cn-cmap .cn-note-tray,
#cn-cmap .cn-bio-tray {
    display: block !important;
}

Hope this helps!

RE: I went into Appearance -> Editor -> custom_css.php

No, you should not edit the theme files. I highly recommend you revert that change. Go to the theme options. Most theme’s have a spot for you to enter custom CSS without having to edit files. A quick Google search says it should be on Qode Options > General > Custom theme options page.

After you apply the CSS the images should display properly.

Hope that helps, let me know.
