re: Yes Steven, I’m trying to use the method you told me, but I didn’t choose to use a plugin. Instead I’d like to use the method described here… Any idea why ? How can I find out the variable names used in the card theme ?
Well, it sounds as if you are trying to use these options with the Default Entry Card template … the free templates that comes with Connections… they do not support the shortcode options. These advanced shortcode options a reserved for the premium templates.
re: And I’d like to use the template I created for this category. Is there another way to do it ? Even if I have to code ?
You only supported option is to name the file as card.php because these is now what to custom category template by use the category shortcode option.
Can this be down with code, very likely but you are on your own for that… but here’s what might work…
You could hook into this filter:
Check for the category id and if it is found add a new filter which hooks into this filter:
Add your custom template name as a higher priority item.
Good luck, hope that helps!
