I’m currently trying to update from 7.1.6 to 8.1.5 but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to update some code on our site’s page template.
The code in question looks like:

$getvalecho=connectionsAlphaEntryList1( array(‘first_name’ => $letter,’order_by’ =>’first_name|SORT_ACS’,’template_name’ =>’display_ profile’) );

–and–

connectionsAlphaEntryList( array(‘first_name’ => $REQUEST[‘char’],’order_by’ =>’first_name|SORT_ACS’,’template_name’ =>’display profile’) );

but neither function seems to exist anymore. Is there an equivalent function, has this been completely removed, or is this a premium template that doesn’t get upgraded along with the plugin?

The connectionsAlphaEntryList() function never existed in Connections, but judging from the array arguments that is was just a wrapper for connectionsList() function. Right now, the equivalent is cnShortcode_Connections::shortcode(). This is just transitional thought and will likely break/not exist in a future update.

You’re probably better off using the core WP function do_shortcode() for now. Using do_shortcode() you would have a call that looks something like (untested):

echo do_shortcode( [connections first_name=' . $letter . ' order_by='first_name|SORT_ACS' 'template'='profile'] );

The display_profile was also never a template that existed for Connections. So maybe it was custom created or you meant profile, which does come with Connections. In the example above I used the profile template.

Hope that helps!
