@ Kevin

Here’s a few links to tutorials which will help:

• Change Field Labels and other Text
• Add Custom Address Types
• Add Custom Phone Types
• Add Custom Email Types

Hope this helps, let me know.

RE: Is it possible to display the information in the Map Marker (i.e. Business Name etc)

Sorry, no, it is not possible. The map is only ever displayed with the entry which already contains its contact info.

RE: set a ‘data-zoom’ level for the Map display

You can add map_zoom=13 to the [connections] shortcode. Change the 13 to the desired zoom level. Valid options are 1—20.

Hope that helps!

ps. I see the map image tile issue has been resolved.

@ Matteo

Apologies for the trouble! It appears the individual keys were not generated as they should have been. I’ve corrected this and resent your sales confirmation email which will contain your keys.

Again, ! apologize for the trouble!

@ Saffron Quantrell

The correct shortcode would be:

[connections category_in='88' enable_search=false]

If you copy/pasted the enable_search=false from my reply into the WP post editor then it is likely the underlying HTML was also pasted. This breaks the ability of WordPress to properly read the shortcode.

My suggestion is to either delete the shortcode entirely and manually type it back in or switch the post editor to the Text tab and delete any HTML tags that are in and or around the shortcode.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Saffron Quantrell

Try adding enable_search=false to the shortcode on that page. That should do it.

@ Rubix Technologies

Not without custom coding a hook which can search based on that meta. The better solution would be to use categories. It is possible to search by multiple categories. You can see an example of this on this 3rd party site:

https://sscit.org/directory/

The top three options in the search are separate category parents displaying their children categories as options.

This addon is available by request to those who purchase either the Extension Pro Pack or the Pro Pack. I also offer it as a service which include installation and configuration (the style is as is).

If you are interested, let me know by using the Contact link at the very bottom of the page.

I went to take a look but I did not see the page. Can you please share a link to the directory page? Thanks!

Install the Code Snippets plugin and add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_link', 'cn_link_do_follow' );

function cn_link_do_follow( $link ) {
    $link->follow = true;
    $link->followString = 'dofollow';
    return $link;
}

Save and Activate the new snippet.

This should override the saved value and make the links dofollow. Hope this helps, let me know.

It’s the theme messing image map tiles. O line 98 in the _general.scss file it has these lines:

img.scale-with-grid, #sitecontainer img {
    max-width: 100% !important;
    height: auto !important;
}

The max-width is causing all images to be 100% width overriding the Google’s CSS for the map image tiles. I would consider this a bug in the theme and suggest your report it to the theme’s support team.

Try adding this to the theme’s custom CSS area

div.cn-gmap[id^="map-container-"] .gm-style img {
    max-width: none !important;
}

I already include a similar statement in Connections to try to fix themes that do this but the way the implemented there statement overrides that too. If this does not work you will unfortunately have to contact the theme support team to have them correct it.

Hope this helps, let me know.

@ Linda

No problem, glad we got to the bottom of it. What problems did you have using Connections for the Neighborhood Helpers page? I’m sure we can resolve that too.
