Several Questions

    Hi Steve,

    I had a few questions:

    1. How do you get a company logo to display in the results list? I swear I was able to do this before on the previous version of the site I am redesigning, but I am unable to figure it out at the moment.

    2. I want to have separate profile template layouts for Organizations and for Individuals. In the Template settings I have organizations set to Default Entry Card (with a child theme customizations), and Individuals set to Profile Entry Card (with a child theme customizations). Organization profiles look great, and as intended, however the Individual Profiles are using the Default Entry Card template (that the Organization profile uses) and not the Profile Entry Card template. Do you know why the could be and how to set up connections to use two different templates for Orgs and Individuals?

    3. I think I remember a while ago you mentioned you were working on a cluster map feature to display multiple location points of all of the Connections profile locations. Is that still correct? And if so, do you have an ETA of that feature?

    Thanks!
    Mitch

    RE: How do you get a company logo to display in the results list?

    Assuming you are using the Default Entry Card template.

    • Navigate to the Connections Templates admin page.
    • Click the Customize button for the Default Template.
    • The page will reload the Customizer on the left and a preview on the right.
    • Click the Back Arrow in the upper left of the Customizer.
    • Click the Image panel.
    • Change the Image Type option as desired.
    • Click an Entry name in the preview. Any Entry name will do, it does not matter which.
    • The preview will refresh displaying the detail/profile view.
    • Make the change again.
    • This needs done twice because each template view is configured spearately.
    • Publish the change and exit the Customizer.

    RE: Do you know why the could be and how to set up connections to use two different templates for Orgs and Individuals?

    You have two options.

    You can use the template shortcode option or the list_type shortcode option. You may wish to use the latter. Here are the links to instruction on how to use each.

    RE: do you have an ETA of that feature?

    Sorry, no ETA at this time.

    I hope this helps!

    Thanks for the quick response! I will try these suggestions and get back to you.

    Regarding the two separate profile templates for Orgs and Individuals, I believe I tried both that with no success. However, i perhaps missed something and will try again and let you know if I am still having issues.

    Thanks!

    Hi Steve,

    Regarding having the Organization and Individual profiles be on different profile templates, I think I should have provide more detail. A few years ago you had provided your services to put in some customized features into Connections Pro to achieve the desired layout we were needing from Connections.

    Our client’s website includes Firm (organizations) profiles and Individual profiles. The firm employees (Individual) profile links are displayed on their Firm’s profiles (which you helped us with). On the current site (the old site) it works great where the Individuals are displayed on a Firm profile, and when you click on them, their profile is different (using the “Profile” template instead of the Default template). Here is a link to the current website for reference of how it works correctly: https://www.integra-international.net/find-a-firm/find-firm-profile/name/swenson-advisors-llp/

    With the NEW website we are designing for them, we basically are using the exact same settings and programming for Connections that we used for the old site (just styled differently), but the Individual profiles that are linked from the Firm profiles keep using the “Default” template (which the Firm profile uses) instead of the “Profile” template. Here is a working test-site link to the new website’s Firm Profile so you can view for your reference: https://www.mancehosting.com/integra2020/find-an-integra-firm/find-firm-profile/name/swenson-advisors-llp/.

    If you click on one of the Individual names to view the profile, you will see (in the code) they are using the Default (Card) template instead of Profile template. Do you have any idea why that is happening or would be able provide an idea of why the individual profiles aren’t using the “Profile” template?

    I know this was a lot to read, but let me know if you have any questions or if this doesn’t make sense. Also, let me know if you need me to provide a WP login to the test-site.

    Thanks!
    Mitch
