    Hey Steve,

    I just wrote you an incredibly long support forum post, only to delete it after I finally figured out I wasn’t (totally) :) losing my mind.

    I couldn’t figure out why records were not opening the way I thought they should.

    Then I remembered months ago we had discussed launching connections companyname links on the connections homepage (not the page the shortcode was on). You gave a great workaround, but in a recent update, I had lost that code.

    After a ton of searching, I found it… It was:

    $permalink = $wp_rewrite->using_permalinks() ? trailingslashit( get_permalink( $homeID ) ) : get_permalink($homeID);

    Were you going to incorporate that ability into a tickbox or something in settings? Or do I just need to remember this time upon updates to add it back in?

    Thanks!

    @ Mitch

    The short answer, yep, for now, remember to change the code after an update.

    Long answer…

    I was hoping to get this in 0.7.8 but kicked it to 0.7.9 since I ran out of time and I’m already “late”.

    Here’s the Github issue link.

    I was targeting the end of July for 0.7.9, but I’m thinking that will get pushed to end of August since we’re already deep into July and I have a lot of enhancements scheduled for 0.7.9 … Maybe I’ll just do one or two things for 0.7.9 and keep the schedule and just bump the other items. Oh the decisions…

    I can’t wait to start doing this fulltime!

    @ Mitch

    Good news, this feature will make the 0.7.9 release. I just added it. You use it by setting one of two new shortcodes; home_id or force_home.

    Setting force_home to true like the following examples will force the links to resolve to the directory home page.
    [connections force_home=true]

    Or you can selectively define a page ID as the directory home; overriding the settings. For the following example, lets assume the directory home page ID is 33 but you need the links to go to a separate page ID for this shortcode instance and that page ID is 68.
    [connections home_id=68]

    You could set both options, not sure why one would, but if one did, the force_home option takes priority.

    And for historical sake, here’s the link to the original request.
