Honestly, it is very like since I have not added code specifically to support JAWS or accessibility it is unlike that they are properly support. You can always view the demos of the templates to determine if they meet your accessibility needs.

First, the template being used on that page is the Default Entry Card template, not Excerpt Plus. Go to the Connections : Templates admin page and Activate the Excerpt Plus template.

Second, you only need to add the shortcode option if you are changing from its it default. So, much of the many of the shortcode option can be removed to simplify it.

[connections enable_bio_head=true enable_note=true enable_note_head=true show_title=true show_org=true show_contact_name=true show_family=true show_addresses=true show_phone_numbers=true show_email=true show_im=true show_social_media=true show_dates=true show_links=true color='#F5A9D0' order_by='id|RANDOM']

Hope that helps, let me know.

The category data for an entry does export all the categories associated to an entry. It will be a comma delimited list under the Categories column. Can you share a link of a CSV file that you exported so I can take a look at it?

re: where does the new snippet with the following code go? Functions.php?

That’s the last place I recommend putting the code because if you update or change your theme, it’s gone and you’ll have to redo it.

I like the Code Snippets plugin. But the Functionality plugin and Pluginception should do fine too. If you use Pluginception, then I also highly recommend the WP Editor plugin as it makes edit PHP code easier.

re: is there a way to make the image clickable and to direct to the listing detail pagE???

Not the image because that functionality is reserved for another feature. What you can do, is add a link the entry and assign that link’s URL to the detail/profile page.

re: OR IT THE TITLE OF THE organization or the Contact name the only thing that is clickable????

This is what happens by default, the name of the entry is the link to its detail/profile page. If this is not happening, then you may have accidently turned it off. Go to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Advanced tab and enable the Name permalink option.

re: is there a way to add multiple images to a listing??? or only 1

You can add one logo and one image (photo).

If you want to add more, you can add them to the bio or notes fields.

Hope that helps.

What is the exact dev domain? That way I’m not guessing when adding it.

re: Is it possible to add a css class to a directory through the shortcode?

Sorry, no, not with the shortcode.

re: I realize this might need to be a snippet added in functions.php…

Maybe, depends on where you want to add the class. Maybe using a template override file will be simpler. Basically you copy the card.php and card-single.php to one of the folders and then you can edit them as you wish… adding a class for example.

Hope that helps, let me know.

re: How to customize directory layout

Connections and its templates are infinitely customizable… it really depends on how far and what you want to do.

re: how can i remove “Other” above the country/location, but keep the info about the country/location visible?

1. Go to the Connections : Templates admin page and click the Customize button for the cMap template. The page will reload with a preview on the right and the Customizer on the left.
2. Click the back arrow in the upper right of the Customizer.
3. Now click the Advanced panel. When that opens, Add this, %line1% %line2% %line3% %city% %state% %zipcode% %country% to the Address format option.
4. The results list view and the detail/profile view are configured separately.
5. To configure the detail/profile view, click the name of the first entry in the preview.
6. The preview will reload.
7. Now, change the Address Format option again.
8. Click the SAve and Publish Button and exit.

re: how can I add a “Specialty:” under the company name? maybe I can add the info to “department” instead of a custom field and write “Specialty:” before each text I put in there?

You have to options. You can use CSS to prefix the department field with the label or edit the templates’ PHP files; card.php and card-single.php to add the label. Those files can be found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

re: but how to I remove then the title “other” that will appear if I enable the department visibility?

I’m sorry, but I am not sure what you’re asking. could you clarify?
