Cool, I look forward to seeing that category hierarchy feature at some point. Yes, Entry ID column worked great! Thanks. Good to know I don’t have to re-arrange the categories!

I did notice 2 issues:

1. Duplicate categories. If an entry has one category, all works perfectly. But if an entry has multiple categories (separated by a comma), Import CSV does not check to see if those categories already exist; they are added each time, creating duplicates. I had over 1000 duplicates, which were easy to delete by clicking the first, shift-clicking the last, then bulk delete, no problem.

2. Missing Categories in the “Select Category” select box. Nested categories are only shown for the first and second levels. Categories 3 or more deep are not shown.
E.g. in this scenario, “Research” and “Teaching” are not shown in the “Select Category” select box:
A. Personnel
1. Faculty
a. Research
b. Teaching
2. Staff
3. Graduate Students

Thank you so much

The CSV import feature worked great!
One thing–currently, category hierarchy can’t be imported. It would be awesome if this could be done, e.g. have something like this in the data:
Faculty/Professors,Faculty/Assistant Professors,Staff/Scientific,Staff/support

Something like that would be great at some point. Otherwise, editing existing data using CSV import would involve re-arranging categories before the import, then restoring them back after.

Just a thought.
Thanks for all you do, Steven!

Perfect, thanks for the info! Definitely helps.

Here is some CSS that will get cMap to list in columns. I hope this helps somebody.

Of course, the ordering will be by row, not by column.

/* make this the width of your display area /
.connections-list {
width:900px !important;
margin: 0 auto;
}
/ Width + padding-right = column width.
connections-list width)/column width=number of columns */
.cn-list-row, .cn-list-row-alternate, .vcard {
width:400px;
float:left;
padding-right:15px;
}

Sorry, Steven, I’m not sure what you mean by “limit your search”. I don’t want to “limit” it, I want to expand it. And I’m not sure where this command you gave is supposed to go.

I’m asking, if one does a google search on a WordPress site that has Connections cMap installed, will this search find contact and bio information entered in Connections? And if not, is there a way for this to happen? Also, is there a way to do this search using a search field on the site itself as well as using google.com? In other words, we want searches to find names and other info entered using the connections plugin.

Please excuse my ignorance; if there are commands I need to use, please give instructions on where/how to enter these, or a link to this info.

Thank you so much

Sorry for my vague question. No specific tool. We would like any way possible to use google search to search a WordPress site, and at the same time be able to search Connections, and display both web page hits and connections contact hits in the results.
Thanks, Steven
