Hello,

I’m using the Increase theme by CMSMasters, with WordPress 3.9.1 and the latest Connections version. I’m also running Connections cMap template, and Connections Link.

When viewing the directory listings on a page on the front-end of my site, a section-break line element from the site theme, Increase, is overlaid onto the title text of each entry, like the name of each person is formatted with a strikethrough (See image). I’ve tried the setting for theme conflicts in Connections, as well as both the raw and noformat shortcodes. Still no resolution.

Also, in addition to that, I have two more problems:

One, is the intermittent appearance of the following text at the top of the site: Warning: is_dir() [function.is-dir]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/root/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/templates/~README.txt/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/root:/usr/lib/php:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php:/tmp) in /root/public_html/wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/template/class.template-api.php on line 341

Two, would be that I have both cMap and Slim Plus installed, and have cMap set as a default, bile I have tried using the short code override to use Slim Plus for a different group of people I have entries for. When I attempt to use the shortcode override for the theme, it does not work.

Any ideas? Help is very much appreciated!

The best I can tell you about the strike-through is that is a CSS being applied by the theme or another plugin, likely the theme. Applying the theme confict option and using the raw shortcodes will not fix that. Unfortunately without a link to the page with the issue, I will not be able to give you the CSS to override ride the theme. If you can share a link, I’ll take a look.

The open_basedir issue is being caused by your web hosts configuration. The solution I gave in this post will fix the issue.

The shortcode issue, see this QuickTip on working with shortcodes. My guess is either you have some HTML code inside the shortcode or fancy quotes are being used. The cause for either would be from copy/pasting code from a web page into the post editor while in the visual editor.

I hope that helps!

Here is a link to the strike-through.. Hope you can figure something out: http://apps.slovakzionsynod.org/?page_id=18

Also, I fixed the open_basedir issue, I think. The problem was intermittent, so it wasn’t showing up all the time. If it comes up again, I’ll have an idea of how to fix it. If nothing I do works, i’ll be back. :)

And thanks for the quick tips on the shortcodes. I’ve looked that over before, and could have sworn I pasted it directly into the html editor, but when I checked back there, it had text formatting? I must have been losing my mind. But it works now! Thanks.

Ok, Add the following to the end of the theme’s styles.css file:

#cn-cmap h3:after {
	border: none;
}

That fix up the lines. The theme is applying borders the h3 headers using the after pseudo class.

That should fix it up nicely.

Steve,

Thank you so much for your fix! It works well to implement the same for slim-plus as well, since I use both themes.

I also wish to ask how to go about adding additional address types and phone types, in addition to the usual home, work, cell, etc.

I was able to do it by tweaks in class.entry-data.php, i believe… But I am aware that you’ve been cleaning up the code for a cleaner running engine, and have been unable to figure out an alternative. Any suggestions?

Thanks again!!!

Yes, that should work for Slim Plus too, here the CSS to use:

#cn-cmap h3:after, #cn-slim-plus h3:after {
	border: none;
}

Probably the best place to add new address and phone types is in the class.options.php file. Unfortunately the only way to add them right now is to edit the core file. It is easy enough for me to add a filter so they can be added in an upgrade safe way. The only reason I haven’t yet is because I need to do testing to make sure that adding has no unexpected results; I’m primarily thinking of the vCard. I can add the filters in the so they are available in the next bug fix release scheduled for this Friday.
