Readme github.com/davidengland/cardcontact ↗

A WordPress plugin that outputs address, phone, and email for a Connections Business Directory entry, styled for footer use. Provides a simple shortcode for use in theme footers, widgets, or anywhere shortcodes are supported.

Features

  • Outputs address (linked to Google Maps), phone (tel:), and email (mailto:) for a Connections entry
  • All output is wrapped in a customizable class for easy CSS targeting
  • Each line (address, phone, email) is in its own div for precise spacing and styling
  • Safe output: all data is sanitized and escaped
  • Designed for use in footers, but can be used anywhere

Usage

Add the shortcode where you want the contact card to appear:

[cardfooter id="1" class="footer-contact-card" map_title="Get Directions"]
  • id (required): Connections entry ID
  • class (optional): CSS class for the wrapper div (default: footer-contact-card)
  • map_title (optional): Title attribute for the map link (default: Get Directions)

Example Output

<div class="footer-contact-card" id="footer-contact-1">
  <div class="footer-contact-address">
    <a href="https://maps.google.com/?q=123+Main+St,+City,+ST+12345" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" title="Get Directions">123 Main St, City, ST 12345</a>
