    I just installed the plugin this morning and I’ve been trying to figure out how to set it up in order to work the way I need it to.

    I’m trying to convert a current directory system on my site to use Connections:

    http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/infosearch/listings.php?cmd=indexb

    I set up several categories in Connections, but I don’t see a list of them on the main page:

    http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/owner-research-center/

    How do I show a category tree on the main page, with breadcrumb navigation so the user can back out of listing and up the category structure?

    How can I add a custom field to all listings for the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) so that the VIN shows in listings and listing summaries, and is searchable?

    @ Rob

    The Widget Pack has a category widget that lists the categories.

    Alternatively, the templates support filtering by category. They do not list out the categories like the example page you linked to but it does allow the user to pick from categories to filter the results.

    Hope that helps!
