The image size enforced by Slim Plus 100x120px. This can not be changed as it is required to maintain the template design/layout. Change the size can only be done by editing the template PHP file and altering the CSS to account for the changed image size.

Hope that helps!

re: Is this missing something or have too much?
Only use [connections] nothing else, do exactly what is shown in Step 4 of the QuickStart.

Do not add anything else, nothing. What you show in the screenshot will wrap the entire directory in a link to a doc page on my site. You do not want to do that.

re: the other thing i just noticed is that on the web everything is aligning to the right. Not sure why
Take a moment to vist the cMap page:
http://connections-pro.com/add-on/cmap/

You’ll notice the designed to show everything right aligned.

re: Jim

Yes, there are filters in place where additional types can be added.

function cn_add_address_types( $options ) {

    $options['club'] = 'Club';
    $options['location'] = 'Location';

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_address_options', 'cn_add_address_types' );

function cn_add_phone_types( $options ) {

    $options['club'] = 'Club';
    $options['location'] = 'Location';

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_phone_options', 'cn_add_phone_types' );

function cn_add_email_types( $options ) {

    $options['club'] = 'Club';
    $options['location'] = 'Location';

    return $options;
}

add_filter( 'cn_email_options', 'cn_add_email_types' );

To use the filters install the Code Snippets plugin.

Create a new snippet with the code from above.

Save and activate the new snippet.

Hope that helps!

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

The shortcode is [connections]. Just put that back on your page and save it. Here’s the link to the QuickStart. See Step 4.

Ok, I looked into this and it seems the fix was rather trivial to implement. I just needed to run the latitude and longitude thru PHP’s number_format() function to ensure the proper format, basically not letting PHP localize it. This fix will also be included in version 8.1.6 and greater so you should not experience this issue again.

re: extra coding showing under the map
It appears you may have been copy/pasting shortcode options from this website. When you do this using the WordPress Visual post editor you also paste the underlying HTML. This isn’t an error or issue with Connections, it’s just how the WordPress Visual editor works. When you copy/paste from a webpage you should also switch the post editor to the Text tab first.

There are two options:

1. Edit the page where the [connections] shortcode is, switch the editor to the Text tab and remove all HTML from around and within the shortcode.
2. Delete the entire shortcode and manually retype it.

re: below that the card shows again without the map
It shoulds like you may have the shortcode on the page twice, make sure you have the shortcode on the page only once.

Hope that helps!

I am sorry to hear of your trouble, but are you certain it was the uninstall of Connections that caused the problem? Reading between the lines, it sounds like you were testing other plugins too. I ask only because I do not see how that would be possible as there are only 4 instances in Connections where images are removed:

• Removing an image from an entry.
• Replacing an image for an entry.
• Moving an image from the legacy images folder to the to the new images folder which would not seem to apply to you being a new user.
• Deleting an entry.

When Connections is removed either by manually deleting it via FTP or using the deactivate and delete links WordPress supplied to remove a plugin it does not run any sort of “cleanup”. If anything Connections leaves a “mess”. I chose this because data is way too important and I can not really know ones actual intent so I chose to error on the very conservative side by leaving Connections data intact.

With that said, there is always a possibility of a bug and this would be pretty severe. Please, if you’re absolutely certain that it was Connections could you let me know as exact as you can remember the steps you used to remove Connections so I can try to duplicate it?

@ Xavier

Yes, I did receive it. I unfortunately ran out of time today, I need a larger block of time for debugging thing like this. You’re first up for when I start tomorrow. Apologies for the delay!

[Steven Zahm]

@ Michael

Yes, there’s a shortcode option you can use with Slim Plus:

[connections name_format="%last%, %first%']

Hope that helps!

@ Rick

Thanks! I fixed the typo.
