Yes, that is by design actually…

What happens is the list is loaded in an open state and then after the page is loaded javascript is used to hide the entries.

The purpose is to support your site visitor whom either have javascript disabled or limited its function for accessibility.

If they were to load in a closed “hidden” stated in those scenarios, there would be now way for those users to view the entry details.

Hope that helps explain it.

That is a feature built onto WordPress itself. The builtin feature is access via this URL:

http://domain.tld/wp-login.php?action=register

YOu would change domain.tld to be whatever you site’s address is.

Also, there are many free available plugins that allow you to add registration forms to the site’s frontend. In time, these features will also be added the free Login extension for Connections too.

Hope that helps!

You can add the following code to the card.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections-slim-plus/

<php echo $entry->getDateAdded(); ?>

If you do decide to edit the template, I actually recommend following the instructions in this QuickTip so the change is update safe.

Hope that helps!

This should left align it.

#cn-tile-plus .cn-list-section-head .cn-alphaindex {
  text-align: left !important;
}

Putting it above is a bit tricky. What I’m about to give you is untested, so…

First install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code to a new snippet:

remove_action( ‘cn_list_character_index’, array( ‘cnTemplatePart’, ‘index’ ) );
add_action( ‘cn_action_list_before’, array( ‘cnTemplatePart’, ‘index’ ), -9 );

Save and activate the snippet.

Separate issue, got it … may I suggest the Slim Plus template then. It has just the name and includes the search and you can turn things off/on as needed.

Will that do the trick?

@ Linda

Here’s the CSS to override the border and shadow:

#cn-tile-plus .cn-entry {
  box-shadow: none !important;
  background: none !important;
  border: none !important;
}

Clicking search should go to the directory home … basically just as if you click the directory page. If you are using either of the force_home of home_id shortcode options that can have an affect on which page clicking clear will resolve to.

It’s hard to say, I’d have to know your exact shortcode on the page and see it for myself.

And setting excerpt length to 0 does make sense that it does break on punctuation. As the logic tries not to break mid sentence … so the limit is not a “hard” limit. It is more of a minimum limit of sorts.

@ soulphysics

Just checking in to see if you received my reply or not.

@ Linda

Does the new questions with Excerpt Plus preempt this?

[Steven Zahm]

@ Linda

You know, I don’t think I even know what the result of setting excerpt length to 0. I don’t think I ever tested that scenario.

Doesn’t sound like there is one that meets you exact desires. There’s the Slim Plus template. The compromise there would be the details are hidden until the name is clicked.

What is sound like is a custom version of Excerpt Plus which removes the excerpt and shows selected details instead. Do I understand corectly?

@ Stephanie

Yes, I noticed the same thing after releasing the 8.1.6 update. I have tracked down the bug. The code to normalize whitespace (make sure there is not more than what spaced between words in a name) was a bit too aggressive.

This will be fixed in the 8.1.7 bug fix release that is planned for Monday.

Apologies for the trouble.
