I’ve logged this as a bug. I’ll see if I can duplicate it.

@ Markus

The first the I see that stands out … You need to enter the original in English not the original string in German. Sorry, nothing I can do about that. It is just the way WordPress handles swapping strings.

With that said…

Add My Directory Entry
Do you have the Form extension installed and active? If you do, the text domain will be ‘connections_formnotconnections_link`

Biographical Info
The original string must be Biographical Info. There is no text domain connections_manage so you should delete that.

Telefon
I can not tell from the screenshot which you’re trying to change, but you need to enter the original string in English.

Zuhause
There is no text domain connections_slim, so that is not going to do anything. If you’re trying to change an address type label the text domain needs to be connections and the original string in English.

Hope that helps!

The Wollombi Valley directories use a custom template that was commission by them. One to you other questions…

re: Are there supposed to be options for the look of this template?
I only seem to have a default option with the logo ranged left and the contact information right, yet I have seen examples the other way around.
What examples, where? … wait, I found two in my list that has customized the template to flip them. I marked them as customized. Sorry, but it is impossible for me to keep track of what other change, but I do note them when I find them.

Here’s the CSS you need to flop the left and right:

#cn-cmap .cn-left {
  float: right;
  max-width: 100%;
  width: auto;
}

#cn-cmap .cn-right {
  text-align: left;
}


#cn-list span.org {
    font-size: 120%;
}

#cn-list span.organization-unit {
    color: green;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
}

#cn-cmap .cn-entry-single .cn-left {
  float: left;
  max-width: 70%;
  width: auto;
}

#cn-cmap .cn-entry-single .cn-right {
  text-align: right;
}

Add the custom CSS as explained in this QuickTip.

re: How do I remove the drop shadow from the entry?
Some more CSS will do the trick:

#cn-cmap .cn-entry {
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
  -moz-box-shadow: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

re: How do I remove the farm around the “Select Category” pull down menu?
“farm” … I’m thinking you meant to type something else???

re: Why won’t the image display on the next “detailed” page, without the biographical info?
Sorry, but that’s just how it been designed … been like that for many years now. The only way to change that is to edit the template. You need to edit the card.php and card-single.php files found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

I suggest copying them and use the method explained in this QuickTip to create a custom template override file.

Hope that answers your questions thoroughly!

WordPress 3.9, I think it was, had a major update to the visual editor called TinyMCE which Connections uses. This required updates to the code in Connections, actually many plugins broke and required updates, not just Connections.

Are you sure you’re running Connections 0.8 … when I look at the page source, it says 8.1.2.

Either way the change was made in version 0.7.9.6 to be compatible with WordPress 3.9 so you should already have the requirted fix. Could you verify the version you’re running?

@ David

The third party dev never finished it, unfortunately. So I’ll have to complete it myself. Still I do not have a timeline as I have a couple other Connections projects underway right now.

@ David

Yes, it is possible. Here’s a link to another forum post where I explain how to add it to the Tile Plus template. The same process works with cMap too. The files for cMap can be found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-cmap/

Hope that helps!

The ideal way would be to let Connections manage the category (region) separation. Maybe an alternative approach would be to rename the cat base to coffee-roasters and then rename the category slugs in Connections to match the region page slugs. That way all the URL you’ve already shared are fine. Instead of putting page links in your menu nav, you add “deep” link to the Connections categories (regions). The region specific info you have on each page could be added to the category description field. The category description can be configured to be display before the category entry results.

This would result in a setup of pretty much of what you already have but manage by Connections. Now … with that said, the widget URL will still point the individual entry, not the category (region) page. It would be something like this:

http://cuptaste.com/coffee-roasters/name/piccolo-coffee-roasters/

I don’t know if that helps, but it does give you a bit more info to think about.

@ Alex

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
