@ Mark

What is the exact shortcode you are using? I suspect you might have to limit option set to 20. This would limit the results to 20 no mater what.

re: it turns out the ‘Enqueue the core styles. Disable this option if you do not want the core styles to be loaded.’ box was unchecked.
Yeah, that can cause problems as you’d have to write all you own core styles … something not most people will do or want to do.

re: how do i remove the borders around the logo and the images?

This CSS will remove the borders:

#cn-cmap span.cn-image-style {
    background:  none !important;
    border: none !important;
}

#cn-list span.cn-image-style {
    background:  none !important;
    border: none !important;
}

Oh, if you’re copy/pasting, make sure you do it while in the Text tab of the post editor otherwise you’re pasting HTML too which will break the shortcode processing in WordPress.

@ Zachary

Can you double check that shortcode … looks like you’re missing a space:

[connections category='62' enable_category_by_root_parent=true]

From an email:

*Can you please help me, my entries look all wrong and they looked right before I messed around with the code.

I have reloaded a freshly downloaded version of cmap, but it’s just not recognising it, why is this?

The contact details are all in one line under the title and it just looks bad.

Can you please give some step-by-step (for dummies) instructions on how to fix this problem.

Also, with a custom .css, do you just duplicate the cmap.css, call it cn-cmap.css, modify it and then add it to (where)?

If you could please give me a quote for modifying the cmap template that would be great.*

re: I have reloaded a freshly downloaded version of cmap, but it’s just not recognising it, why is this?
Like due to browser caching. See this reply from me.

re: Can you please give some step-by-step (for dummies) instructions on how to fix this problem.

Sure …

1. Deactivate cMap.
2. Delete cMap.
3. Reinstall cMap.
4. Activate cMap.
5. Verify cMap is still the active template on the Connections : Templates admin page.
6. Visit the page where you inserted the [connections] shortcode.
7. cMap should be the template being used to display the directory.
8. Force refresh the browser by hitting CTRL + F5 or SHIFT + F5. Which one will depend on the browser you are using. Just do both…
9. You should now be back at the beginning, assuming that you never did create the custom template CSS file. If you did, delete it.

See my reply here.

re: If you could please give me a quote for modifying the cmap template that would be great.
As mentioned in this reply, I am not available for custom template work at this time.

*Have tried http://connections-pro.com/add-on/cmap/ but can’t figure out how to make it look like this one http://www.visitwollombi.com.au/hunter-valley-accommodation/self-contained/?cn-s=&cn-cat=26

I had it looking okay, but in my attempt at trying to get rid of the stupid drop shadow (by fiddling around with the .css file and not really knowing what I was doing), I stuffed it right up. I tried deactivating and deleting the plugin template, then reloading it from a new download, but it still looks wrong even with the original files loaded, like it’s still accessing the wrong files.*

My guess based on your previous post on asking on which CSS file you should edit that you edited one of those files. If you did, you must force refresh the browser so the updated CSS file is downloaded by the browser. The browser caches CSS and JS files locally so they do not have to be downloaded again. So if you edit a file you need to force refresh so the edited files are downloaded and used. Depending on the browser you use it is either CONTROL + F5 or ‘SHIFT + F5`.

NOTE: even if you use a custom template CSS file and make changes, you will still need to force refresh the browser.

re: get rid of the stupid drop shadow
I gave you the CSS you needed to remove the drop shadow in my original reply. No fiddling required…
