Steven, thanks for the reply,

I did edit the template PHP file, card.php and put it in uploads/connection-templates/gridder to make the changes to view profile and I added additional information in the panel. That all works perfectly.

The end goal is to have a separate page for each outfitter based on the species he hunts as well as a company listing. So Willow Creek will have a page with just his whitetail deer hunt information, his whitetail deer hunting photos and his whitetail videos. Same for bear and mule deer. Each of these listings will have SEO based on the species he hunts. I would like the main area to have the hunt details, featured image, slider & contact form and the side widgets with the photo gallery, Videos, Links to other listings, social media and link to website. I have not seen a way to have this particular layout in Connections. There are too many items on one page to have to scroll down forever to see it all that is why i must have the side widgets with all the “media” files.

Also, when the “bio” page loads it loads within the category so the URL has a lot of subfolders and the category description shows on every outfitter listing. See below:

So here’s the Black Bear Category Page: All the outfitters who advertise and hunt black bear will have a listing on here in the Gridder format. When a user clicks view profile I need it to go to that outfitter’s species page:
http://75.103.85.206/black-bear-hunting-alberta-canada/

when you click on Willow Creek Outfitters “View Hunt Details” I need that to go to a page outside of Connections… http://75.103.85.206/andre-van-hiltens-willow-creek-outfitters-black-bear-hunting/
So in essence i need to be able to create a species page for a client and link their listing on the categoy page to that listing.

Does that make any sense?

Hello Steven,
I had to put this aside for awhile while I build a website for a client. I’m back to this now and will be working on it for a bit today.

To answer your question, YES! what you said is exactly what I need.
I installed the Code Snippet plugin and created a new snippet;

add_filters( ‘cn_link_options’, ‘cn_add_new_link_types’ );

$options[‘bear’] = ‘black bear listing’;
$options[‘whitetail’] = ‘whitetail deer listing’;
$options[‘muledeer’] = ‘mule deer listing’;
$options[‘moose’] = ‘moose listing’;
$options[‘elk’] = ‘elk listing’;
$options[‘cougar’] = ‘cougar listing’;
$options[‘bison’] = ‘bison listing’;
$options[‘wolf’] = ‘wolf listing’;
$options[‘antelope’] = ‘antelope listing’;
$options[‘waterfowl’] = ‘waterfowl listing’;
$options[‘fishing’] = ‘fishing listing’;
return $options;
}

I chose the option “use through entire site” (I didn’t know what to pick)
I then went to the new snippet i created and said, “Activate”

It broke my entire site. Nothing loaded but white screen. I had to go to FTP and delete the entire code snippet plugin to get my site back.

I have no clue what I’m doing. Will you private email me at info@abhunting.com. It may be easier since this thread is getting so long!

Thank you!!

Hi Steve… Been a long time! I’ve been super busy with other things and now i’m back at this again!

I have added this code to code snippets plugin and it continues to crash my site.
I need the Connections —> Add Entry to have additional options for links to other pages. So when I go to that form to add an outfitter it allows me to add something besides a website and blog. I’m really stuck and don’t know what to do at this point.

add_filters( ‘cn_link_options’, ‘species’ );

function species( $options ) {

$options['bear']      = 'black bear listing';
$options['whitetail'] = 'whitetail deer listing';
$options['muledeer']  = 'mule deer listing';
$options['moose']     = 'moose listing';
$options['elk']       = 'elk listing';
$options['cougar']    = 'cougar listing';
$options['bison']     = 'bison listing';
$options['wolf']      = 'wolf listing';
$options['antelope']  = 'antelope listing';
$options['waterfowl'] = 'waterfowl listing';
$options['fishing']   = 'fishing listing';

return $options;

}

Your help is appreciated!

Steven, I wish that worked but it didn’t :(

I’m thinking of just changing this whole idea that I had for dynamic links and working within the parameters your program allows. It is really awesome and will serve what I need, just won’t have all the extra bells and whistles I was hoping to have.
