cMap has received a significant update to take full advantage of all the newer features built into Connections.
Important
If you are upgrading from an older version of cMap you must go to the Connections : Templates admin page and delete the older version before installing the new version.
To install the new version, please install it as you would any plugin, please do not use the template installer found on the Connections : Templates admin page. The template installer will only remain in place until all templates have been updated to use the new templating system. After which it will be removed completely.
After you install cMap, as a plugin, activate it as a plugin.
Finally, after cMap has been activated, it will show up on the Connections : Templates admin page and be available for use.
I see no way to delete the Cmap template from the tempates section of Connections on my site. What am I not understanding?

@ richard1312
Which version of cMap are you currently running?
2.0.10
@ richard1312
Is cMap the active template? If it is, you need to activate the default template first. You should now be able to delete it.
Hi Steven,
I have used the connection shortcode with in the wordpress page three times(inhave used three tabs, under each tab i used shortcodes with different attributes(using wp ui plugin)).
Under the first tab the entries showing well. when click the second tab the template layout and title only showing not showing full details.
Can you please help me.
Hi Steven,
And i used cmap template.
Thanks.
@ sivasakthivel
Can you share a link to your directory? Which plugin are you using to create tabs? What is the exact shortcode you’re using under each tab?
Is there a way to change the style sheet color for display in cmap?
@ mannixmedia
Yes, but it requires editing its CSS file and creating a minified version of it.
The cMap CSS file can be found here:
Make your changes, save and overwrite the original.
You will then have to create a minified version OR just make a duplicate of the cmap.css and name it cmap.min.css
Hope that helps.
Steven, I am getting confused I sent you a question yesterday and cannot remember where.
I sent you the directory and the id and password to have a look into

The problem is on bio and notes. It opens and closes imeediately and have no time to read the content. Everything ok on the backside.
Excuse me, but I relly do not find where I sent you my request on connection-pro.com so I am carrying asking you this and maybe you ansered somewhere else on this website.
Thanks

@ Brent
Yes, but that will require you to edit the CSS files that come with the template.
Ah thats fine. Perfect, thanks Steven.
Hi Steven,
I’d like to use Connections with cMap for accommodation listings. 2 questions:
1.Is there a way to have a gallery of 3-4 images with each listing?
2.Once a bunch of listings are in the system is it possible to show a single google map with all the location icons shown?
Thanks
Andy
@ Andy
There’s nothing built in to Connections to do this, but since both bio and notes fields support shortcodes, you could use other plugins that support inserting galleries via a shortcode. Hope that helps!
Hi Steven,
I have cMap version 2.0.10. I went to my Purchase History and I don’t see the newest version to download. The old version I have is not working correctly. The search box doesn’t work at all, only the dropdown. I am hoping the new version will take care of this issue. Thanks!
@ layla

Hi Steven,
I have two questions regarding the CMap plugin. I am thinking of purchasing but before I do, I want to know about updates. I noticed thru reading thru your threads that 2.0 had to be deleted and then 3.0 activated. What about all your listings that you have info in? Do you have to download a particular file from the 2.0 version to fill in the 3.0 updated version?
Next question is do you offer ratings & reviews or at least ratings on the CMap 3.0 version?
@ Wendy
The deleting of version 2.0 to 3.0 requirement. cMap is actually at version 4.0 and supports in-admin updates. This means when an update for the template is released, you’ll be notified in your WordPress admin on the Plugins admin page as long as the template license is current and active on your site. To do the update, you will only need to click the “update now” link. Deleting templates is a safe operation, you will not loose what you’ve entered. That data is safe in the database. Think of template like themes for WordPress, they display the entry only … not save or store it.
There is a reviews and rating extension for Connections developed by a third party developer, however, it is not ready for release and I do not know when the developer plans on releasing it.
I hope that helps!
I downloaded the cmap template as a guest just a few months ago. Now it is not working and I don’t have a login to redownload the newer version. Please help.
@ Crystal
Please contact me using the Contact link at the very bottom of this page. I’ll need to know the email address used to make the purchase and the full (first/last) name used to make the purchase so I can look up the purchase record.
