re: actually, i’m not at all familiar with PHP :-) I’m a mechanical engineer…

Ok, then… line 41 in card.php and line 66 in card-single.php. If you do not like the positioning, then paste the code elsewhere in those two files. Just make sure it is between <?php and ?> tags.

re: We are looking at posting birthdays on profiles, but don’t want the year to show.
Will this widget pack allow this?

The dates in the widget pack are formatted according how they are defined in the settings. See this doc page.

You can remove the Y in order to remove the year. This will affect display of all dates, not just the birthdates.

Hope this helps!

@ Matthew

Could you please share a link to the directory page with the issue?

Also, can you share the exact (entire) shortcode you are using?

@ Axel

Ok, The accordion effect would give you the results you are looking for. Please contact me using the Contact link at the bottom of the page for a quote. I’ll also need a WP admin login and FTP login to your site. You can provide the details in the contact form.

@ Rolf

Sorry, but it is not possible to add other content to the getFamilyMemberBlock() function by just adding to the item_format option. This is only to control the structure of the existing data that is supports.

The only way to do what you want is to write your own custom function to use in the template to output the content the way you need.

Hope that helps!

@ Heather

I took a look at your directory page. It seems you have figured this out. If not, here’s a link to a FAQ that should help.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: When i click “create key” and choose “API” the it gives me a key right away.
I can name that key as i wish, such as ‘browser key’, but there is no second window that allows me to choose that or any option.

Ok, its seems Google has changed the user interface a bit… I suppose it makes it easier. There is no longer a choice between key types, instead you have to create multiple keys then choose the limitation. I’ll have to spend some time today updating the tutorial.

As long as you did not add any restrictions to the key you created, you should be able to use it for both the browser and server keys. This is not “safe” but let’s ignore the restrictions for now in order to get you up and running. If you added restrictions to the key, please remove it now. After you do, add the key to both the server and the browser key setting on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Advanced tab.

re: And the multiple API calls error can be replaced with another error message if I uncheck the Google Maps API v3 box

Leave this option enabled, you will very likely break maps in Connections.

After you have done these, please let me know and I’ll look at your page.

re: I tried with both Connections network activated and locally activated.

You should not network activate Connections. ONly activate it on the subsites using the plugin. But that should have no effect of the site’s URL has a trailing slash or removing it from Yoast.

re: Any thoughts?

There’s only two areas in Connections where there is code that even remotely affects a site’s permalinks. Connections adds it own URL rewrite rules so the directory links will work. But that only adds new rules, it does not overwrite any core WP rules. Connections does filter the core WP get_permalink() function when viewing it’s directory pages so the function will return URLs to work with the permalink rules it adds.

If you can give me a login, I will edit the code in Connections so the filters for these two items are not run so we can see if one of these are somehow causing the issue. At this point I do not see how, but hey, I’ve seen weirder things. The edit will simply be commenting out a few lines which add the filters that in turn run the code. Without the filters, the code is never run. It’ll break Connections as none of the links will work.

@ Jon

Thanks for your support!

I highly recommend the cMap template as it is the most popular because it is the most versital and I belive the easiest to use because it can be tweaked using teh Template Customizer vs. shortcode options. The template Customizer make it point and click with previews. With this can can get a visual appearance which matches the default template but the layout will still be a little different. The only area where not template will help is the sorting by membership date. If you are referring to the “Membership” sate type when adding an entry, sorry, but there is not a way at this time to sort by that date. Only the birthday or anniversary dates.

I hope this thoroughly answers your question!

@ Jade

Add the following to the theme’s custom CSS area:

#cn-circled span.organization-name {
    color: #b3b3b1;
    font-style: italic;
}

Hope that helps!
