Ahhhhhhh, I get it, it’s not in the side like the categories… Thanks for all of your help, you’ve been amazing!

An issue that’s come up as a result (I think) of removing the categorydiv from the listing form:

When the changed listing it put into the moderation cue, the category is no longer selected, and has to be set by the moderator before approving. My theory is that since the field is not being submitted as part of the change, it overwrites the category field in the database with nothing. This is not an issue with the other fields I’m removing, since we’re not using those, but I suppose the same thing is happening with them as well.

Instead of removing the categorydiv as above, I’ve hidden it using a little CSS in the admin header and tested, and the correct category is now displayed in the moderation cue, while it’s no longer displayed to users.

Yes, removing the category metabox would cause Connections to remove the categories associated … I was assuming your were not using categories so it wouldn’t matter. Using CSS would be the best option in this case.

Hello – I’m also trying to hide the “Publish” and “Categorie” from the “Edit my Directory Entry” but no success so far… can you maybe give some ideas or advise on how to hide it using CSS?

Thanks!

Sorry, you can not hide or remove the publish/update box. That is absolutely required for the form to function.

You can use CSS to hide the category box. Add the following to the end of the cn-admin.css file in the Connections plugin folder:

#categorydiv {
    display: none;
}
