re: I’m trying to change the ‘Show Bio’ label. The Say What option isn’t working. In your documentation, you refer to a short code method.

Perhaps you have an older version of cMap installed which does not support the Say What? method of changing the label…

The shortcode method is explained after the the Say What? method in the docs. You would use the three (3) str_bio_***** shortcode options. Look at the examples after the shortcode option list on how to use these.

Hope that helps, let me know.

The issue is not likely the z-index but rather the float and the height that is being applied to the containing div. Perhaps something like this would work better:

#cn-cmap div.cn-list-section-head {
    display:none !important;
}

#cn-cmap div.cn-list-row,
#cn-cmap div.cn-list-row-alternate {
    display:inline-block;
    margin-right: 10px;
    margin-bottom: 25px;
    min-height: 400px;
    width: 48%;
    vertical-align: top;
}

#cn-cmap div#cn-list-foot {
    clear:both;
}

re: Exactly what I needed. I was confused at first, because I noticed on wordpress that Connections makes you choose the page where the directory is located. I thought the [connections] shortcode could then only be used on that page (where the directory is located).

Nope, the shortcode can be used on any page making Connections quite flexible when it comes to slicing and dicing the database. There are instances where the directory home page is required and enforced. One, the widgets in the Widget Pack, the link would all resolve to the directory home page… kind of necessary because the widget would have no way to determine which page they should link to. So there are trade offs.

re: However, I created sub-pages of that main page where the directory is located and used the [connections] shortcode on each sub-page and it worked like a charm on each sub-page.

Great to hear it all worked out!

@ Theresa

The contact name fields are only available when the entry type is an Organization. They are not available for an Individual. Sorry, but there is no way to change this functionality.

@ Jabbergirl

Looks like it working to me…

This page shows all entries:

http://[REDACTED]/vets_ontario/

This page shows all that are category “A”:

http://[REDACTED]/vets_ontario/cat/vets_ontario/a/

And this shows all “Acton”:

http://[REDACTED]/vets_ontario/cat/vets_ontario/a/acton/

If you put the category widget shortcode back on the page (that was removed), above the [connections] shortcode you will see the category links again. Clicking the link should filter by the category clicked.

NOTE: If you are going to use the links from the widget, you should disable the category filter feature in the template.

Hope that helps!

re: Thanks for the code tip? Any other ideas?

Nope, removing the line as I suggested will stop the auto scroll… Looks like I should add a bit of logic to disable it on mobile devices though. I’ll put that in it next update.

@ Aric

There were a few issues discussed in this thread… which one are you experiencing? Can you also share a link to the page with the issue?

@ Jabbergirl

from what I can tell from the page source, it looks like you added the shortcode for the category widget to the page, of course you can do that, but it you still need to add the [connections] shortcode to the page too (which from what I can tell is not there). Did you add the [connections] shortcode to the page? If you did, can you add it?

@ Jabbergirl

I just email it, let me know if you do not receive the email.

The issue, judging soley by the video is being caused by the browser window being at a small size with the page being scaled up. Gridder, does move so the image clicked with within the browser viewport but because of the reason cited (best guess) the browser viewport is too small to fit the info panel of the entry clicked.

There is no setting to remove this, however, removing a single line in Gridder’s JavaScript file will stop it from trying to moving the entry to be within the browser viewport. here’s how:

Open the delete the gridder.min.js file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-gridder/

Now, open the gridder.js file found in the same folder and remove the following line:
$( _self._scrollTo() ).animate( { scrollTop: _me.position().top }, 0 );

Save the file and upload it overwriting the original.

You will very likely have to force refresh your browser so the new version will be used instead of the local copy the browser has it its cache.

Hope that helps!
