    Hi Steven, I would like to have each doctor’s name connect to their own web page, rather than the detail view. I know this is possible need help tweaking the PHP to make this happen. I believe you answered this for someone else before but I can’t seem to find that entry again. Also not sure if it was for CMAP.

    So far I have turned off the name link and added the image link. But I know my client will want the name linked also.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated – thank you!

    Here’s the post where I give some details on how to accomplish this.

    I believe that post covers it all. Hope this helps!

    Thank you Steven, that was it! But, I do still have a question of course…in the CMAP you can already add a Custom Field, right? So can I do that for this purpose and if so how would I know what the field ID is that I’ve just created?

    So I did create a Custom Field via the admin interface for CMAP, then I used that value in card.php with the code as described in that link.

    Now Name is being linked to the category URL, and the Custom Link info shows up underneath the photo.

    Here’s what I have in card.php:

    <?php $url = $entry->getMeta(
    array(
    ‘key’ => ‘custom_url’,
    ‘single’ => TRUE // Do not change this.
    )
    );?>

    <h3>“><?php $entry->getNameBlock( array( ‘format’ => $atts[‘name_format’], ‘link’ => FALSE ) ); ?></h3>

    custom_url is the value I gave my custom meta entry.

    Not sure what I am doing wrong (not really a PHP programmer)…can you please help?

    (I am more than willing to pay for your time if this is above and beyond normal support)

    Thank you, Steven!
