    Is it possible to override the template for the view all page? My client wants a comma inserted in the name format.

    So now names appear as:

    First M Last Suffix

    My client wants it with a comma before the Suffix:

    First M Last, Suffix

    I’m using the Slim Plus template.

    I want to have this option for the view all page:

    $permittedAtts[‘name_format’] = ‘%first% %middle% %last%, %suffix%’;

    Thanks.

    You should be able to use a template override file for the Names template. You would pass the array( 'format' => '%first% %middle% %last%, %suffix%' ) to the $entry->getNameBlock(); method.

    Hope this helps, let me know.

    Ok the tweak works if I copy/paste the core names template as a new plugin as the readme.txt instructs to do.

    However, I’d rather override the core names template in my WordPress theme. So is that possible for the core templates?

    I tried the following path but it doesn’t work:
    wp-content\themes\my-theme\connections-templates\names\

    You do not need to move the/copy the Names template to the plugins folder.

    Use a template override file for the Names template.

    You’ll need to create a card.php file and put it in the path. The file only needs to contain this one line:

    $entry->getNameBlock( array( 'link' => TRUE, 'format' => '%first% %middle% %last%, %suffix%' ) );

    Hope this helps!
