My workflow is the exact opposite of your workflow. I require people to sign up on the site before entering a directory listing. Therefore, all of my users are not linked to their listing.

I need a tool that lets me (the administrator) connect people to directory listings.

Right now I am doing this manually through the database which takes a long time.

This is already on the todo list to add to Link.

There is something that you can do that can ease this a little. It just requires a very small PHP tweak. If you’re editing the db directly, then I’m guessing you’ll be able to do this…

Open the connections_link file and go to line 567. You should see this:

// if ( empty( self::$userID ) ) {

// 	// Grab the current user object.
// 	$user = wp_get_current_user();

// 	// Run the link on login function.
// 	self::processLinkOnLogin( '', $user );

// 	// Set the current user's Connections ID ... if a link was created.
// 	self::setUserID();
// }

Un-comment the code lines, save and upload. Oh, make sure you on the latest version of Link; 1.0.5.

How this can help… well, maybe you could setup some type of redirect where the user is sent to the Link admin page, will check for and create as needed without requiring a logout/login. If that is possible, all you would need to do is login as the user and vist the Link admin page. Still a hassle but far easier that having to mess with the db.

Hope that helps.

Great! I’ll try this out and see what happens.
