    Hello Steven,

    I wanted to split Full-time Faculty and Part-time faculty by inserting two shortcodes on the same page such as:

    <h2>Full-time</h2>

    [connections template='gridder' id='1276,1241,1242,1419,1243,1279' order_by='id|SPECIFIED' background_color='#4A2C7B' color=fff image_width='200' image_height='250' excerpt_length=100 show_alphaindex='FALSE' show_alphahead='FALSE' str_note_head='']

    <h2>Part-time</h2>

    [connections template='gridder' id='1292,1165' order_by='id|SPECIFIED' background_color='#4A2C7B' color=fff image_width='200' image_height='250' excerpt_length=100 show_alphaindex='FALSE' show_alphahead='FALSE' str_note_head='']

    It looks perfectly fine on the page, but when I click to see the full profile, at the end, it adds the text “Part-time” in h2 format, and “No results” underneath.

    Can you think of a solution?

    Thanks!

    re: Can you think of a solution?

    Yes, many users do this type of setup. To resolve this you can use either the force_home OR home_id shortcode options so the links resolve to another page where you only have the shortcode on it once.

    Hope that helps. Let me know.

    I have the Gridder code on page id=3157
    When View Profile is clicked, I want the profile details to show on a different page. I added the shortcode home_id=3224 but the page comes up blank except for the h1 title.

    What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    @ Scott

    I can not quite determine which page ID you want to use, here my best guess…

    On the original source page you want this:

    <h2>Full-time</h2>

[connections template='gridder' id='1276,1241,1242,1419,1243,1279' order_by='id|SPECIFIED' background_color='#4A2C7B' color=fff image_width='200' image_height='250' excerpt_length=100 show_alphaindex='FALSE' show_alphahead='FALSE' str_note_head='' home_id=3224]

<h2>Part-time</h2>

[connections template='gridder' id='1292,1165' order_by='id|SPECIFIED' background_color='#4A2C7B' color=fff image_width='200' image_height='250' excerpt_length=100 show_alphaindex='FALSE' show_alphahead='FALSE' str_note_head='' home_id=3224]

    On the destination page (ID 3224) you need this and only this:

    [connections]
