Good to hear! The difference between cMap 3.x and 4.x is that Connections is responsible for loading CSS files and such now so the dependencies can be loaded in the proper order. cMap 3.x loaded it own files so there’s no way to control load order. Hope that makes sense.
The shortcode option is link_format. I just test it and it does work. Example:
`[connections page_limit=20 link_format='%label%%separator% %title%']
Before Connections >= 0.8 and the latest versions of the template, no, there were no in-admin updates. Now there are, to receive notification of cMap updates, make sure to add your support license key on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Licenses tab. After you do, you’ll be notified every time I release an update.
Hope that helps!
If I have not asked… If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
