One of the planned updates for the next release of Connections is to improve the rich text editing of the Bio and Notes fields. Well, I’ve made great progress with that. Take a peek at the screen captures. I’ve dropped jWYSIWYG for rich editing. Unfortunately it just isn’t robust enough and had some flaky behaviors …
One request I’ve been receiving it to provide some method to help protect email addresses from spam email harvester bots. Well, this is exactly what this pro module will do. The entire email address mailto anchor tag is encrypted using the ROT13 encryption method. As the page is being rendered a client side JavaScript will …
I’ve been hard at work on the next version of Connections. A couple of the new major enhancements are a completely revamped template loader and a brand new template manager in the admin. Here you will be able to manage the default templates per list type, install and delete templates. In Connections, each entry can be set …
If you’ve been waiting for this, then you know I’m late. Guess that is how it goes with software development. Good news though. I spent this past weekend, since it was so hot, working on it. So far I’m really pleased with the results. It was kind of tough to come up with a user …

Checkout this site: http://windsorite.ca/music/directory/bands I haven’t asked them about their setup, but I’m fairly certain they are using the stock plug-in with two custom templates. One to show the band list and the other to show …
As I mentioned in a previous post, 0.7.0.0 would possibly break some users custom templates. Here’s methods that changed… getAddresses() getPhoneNumbers() getEmailAddresses() getIm() getSocialMedia() getWebsites() Each of these now return a standard object. And the related helper classes have been removed. See the PHP documentation in the class.entry.php for each one of these methods to …
Well, with what appears to be nearly several hundred upgrade completed and only two bug reports, which have been fixed, it seems this is a successful release. Download here.

The next release is coming along very nicely. Many new small feature have been added and well as coding optimizations which reduce the memory requirements. There is one major downside. This next update will break any custom templates that directly accessed the data for addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, websites and social networks. This was …
