Link with map Links the address with a map link
  • Auto will attempt to create a link with the address information (works on formatted address only)
  • Field will use the map link provided
  • Field first will use the map link provided. If not found, will attempt the creation of the link automatically (useful when a contact address cannot be created automatically and we can provide a link instead to make sure the address is linked to a map).
    Note The automatic parameters share the map block parameters set in the mapping tab
Dates

Other information field
Other information The contact miscellaneous information to show (it is possible to show the meta description as an alternative)
Letter count max The maximum number of letters to show (left blank, it will show the whole text)
Truncate last word When the text is truncated, it is possible to leave the last word intact or allow it to be truncated to get closer to the letter count max
Strip tags Remove the html tags, whether the text is truncated or not
Keep tags When removing html tags, keep the ones laid out here

Example <p><a><br> will keep the paragraphs, links and new line formatting (closing tags are unnecessary)

Note Get better looking results by only keeping inline elements such as <a> or <br>.
Process plugins Trigger the content plugins included in the contact information
Email and URL fields
Link email Just show the email address or link it to the form on the page (the email address won’t show in that case). If shown as a link, the email link defaults to a mailto:
Cloak email  Obfuscates email addresses with JavaScript to protect them from Spambots
Protocol Show or hide the URL protocol (will remove http:// from URLs for a shorter representation on the card)
Links A..E
Label as substitute Use the link label (= link name) as a replacement for the URL value. Check all possibilities at Fields: behavior and what happens when showing social network with those fields at Social network fields.
