Steven Zahm@ Mr Mcgivney
I did reply to your email, within 16 hours. My full reply is below in case you did not receive it. I’ll answer the new questions in the next reply
Apologies, but I have not received any email from you before these two … I’ll do my best to address your comments.
First, the support forum posting, go to any of the support forums and scroll to the bottom to post a new support topic. For example, here’s the link to the general support forum:
http://connections-pro.com/support/forum/general-support/
If you scroll to the bottom past the other support topics, you have the opportunity to post a new support topic.
Shortcode usage. You only need to add the shortcode to the page once, all the options are added to the single shortcode. Please see the note on this doc page:
http://connections-pro.com/documentation/connections/shortcodes/shortcode-connections/
As an exmaple your shortcode would be:
[connections category_in='2,3,4' template='profile' show_alphaindex='true' repeat_alphaindex='true']
You are using show_alphaindex and repeat_alpahindex, I recommend simply using the options on the Connections : Settings admin page under the Display tab instead. It’ll be easier for you that way.
re: I was unable to change or put title on this for some reason
Are saying you could not add or change the info added in the Title field?
re: I select the one I did.. click on edit but all the fields don’t show (looks like original but custom fields are there ) why?
Sorry, I do not understand … attaching a screenshot would be helpful.
re: if I click on VIEW .. nothing happens.. WHY?
Did you set up the directory home page on the Connections : Settings admin page under the General tab and does that page have the [connections] shortcode. If not, I suggest taking a look at this QuickStart guide.

re: How do I get the form/fields I created to show up on the page which in Residential Care Home members application
You going to have to explain in more detail what you’re trying to do because I do not understand. My best guess this relates to the Form extension, yes?
re: Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in…
Unfortunately, regardless of what goDaddy support states, this is likely a host problem. There’s only two reason you might see this error in that file … one you might be trying to upload a multi-megapixel image in which case the upload size/time limits are being exceeded (host configuration issue) or the server you’re on is overcrowded which is causing the upload to be slow (host configuration issue). There is another reason I just thought of … the upload speed of the ISP could be causing the issue (the upload taking too long).
If you can add and manage entries which you are not adding images without issue would indicate one of the above is the reason. Try with a very small image, what is the result? My guess is that it’ll work fine. If that is the case, then I suggest trying to increase max_execution_time. You can try asking GoDaddy to that for you … you may or may not have success with asking them. You best course of action is to do it yourself. There are many walkthroughs for how to do this on GoDaddy on the net. here’s one that is WP specific:

There’s three methods list in the post, which method that will work really depends on how GoDaddy is setup. See these specific comments, they seem very helpful:

re: i purchased the form extension so i could make interactive form so people could fill it out and the info then be saved and used to populate the fields in the directory listing.. but i cant seem to be able to do that…
Can you be more specific on exactly what you want to do and what you can not do?
