After preliminary testing it seems that Connections works fine with the latest and greatest WP. Just in case you were wondering. I should mention that I didn’t test with the new multi-site feature. But I don’t see any reason that the plug-in wouldn’t work.
I have to admit, I am surprised sometimes at how creative people can be with creating templates for Connections. 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 …

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.

If all goes well the next release should be coming very soon. Next Release => 0.7.0.0 BUG: Set the db version after each db …
A small percentage of users have been receiving this error. This error is caused because the host server is not configured correctly to use php sessions. I find this odd because in my fairly limited experience many web based applications absolutely require the php sessions. Since WordPress does not use php sessions I decided to …
For all those who have been waiting for category support… it’s nearly here. Only a few more things to polish it off but if you would like to test it and give some feedback that would be great. Here the link and have fun. http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/connections.zip Oh, as always be safe and backup first. UPDATE: To …
I’ve recently switched to openSUSE from Windows. Somethings were a struggle but I’ve worked through most of the issues I came across. One of the toughest for me was setting up Aptana 2.0 with their now discontinued PHP plug-in. Why? Because the PDT plug-in feels so inferior compared to their discontinued plug-in. Any way here’s …
I’m finally in the home stretch… Here’s the to-do list for the next release: When adding or editing an entry and no categories are selected, assign the uncategorized category.
