ParticipantSheesh! You are very patient! Thanks…
Participant@ Steven
It’s LINK v 2.0.3 and I’m trying to update to 2.0.4. Also, I am using 8.5.11 CONNECTIONS. And, of course, this time I tried, it updated successfully. I guess we can REALLY mark this thread as resolved!
ParticipantOK – I can see we have come full circle. The new users would register through the WP facility. Once they’ve done that, they will be able to edit their CONNECTION record, and if I add FORM, I can give them (and me) the ability to edit via the front end (as opposed to logging in to the admin section). Do I have that right?
Participant@Steven, I have added and activated the license key for Link. It still fails to update. The CSV Import worked as you suggested.
Can you please deactivate the Slim Plus on the sandbox site?
Finally, I am wondering how to have new users register for my site – I was thinking that FORM would allow me to do that. But what does a new user have to do to trigger the registration form and where would they see this option to register? In my previous post, I imagined it might be possible to place the form on the page by way of a widget added to a sidebar. What am I missing?
ParticipantSome months later, I can say that Connections has been working like a champ! Thank you. I have updated Connections to version 8.5.11, and now I have a few additional questions:
- My installation of LINK is telling me there is no automatic update. Am I to download and install a new version?
- When I try to update my Connections CSV Import, I am told that the update failed! What do I need to do here?
Is this an issue with annual update license? But I see that my purchase was in April and May of 2015, so that wouldn’t seem to be a problem.
Finally, a last question –
- How do I get a FORM-based registration form to the screen – is there a widget that I drop into a sidebar?
ParticipantThanks, Steven.
I am using basically the same query as you –
$values = mysql_query(“SELECT * FROM “.$table.” WHERE ” . $field . ” = ‘public'”);
In my case, $table is set to “wp_connections” and $field is set to “visibility”. All records in the recordsset are showing a visibility of “public”. When I look into that same table with remote Navicat I can see that about half of my members are “private”. Well, this is surely beyond the scope of your support, but I just wanted to know if this rang any bells with you…
ParticipantSteven: Thanks for your good help with these nice plugins!
I have a member list with approximately 380 names, some of which are public and some are private. I am trying to read the connections table to extract only the emails for those marked as private (which I should easily be able to do with PHP/MySQL). However, when I print the extracted names along with their ‘visibility’ field, all of them show “public”, even though I can see that some are “private” in the data table. Short of using Navicat to extract and then export those names (which of course is a way to do it), I’d like to modify my extract files to only extract only those names that are legitimately marked as “public” or those that are legitimately marked as “private”. Can you think of anything special about how you are entering that “visibility” data into the table that would cause all to come across as public?
ParticipantThank you Steven – this has been very helpful. Perhaps I can make it all work…
ParticipantOne other thing, many of the entries have duplicate emails (i.e., spouses using the same emails). Wouldn’t that knock things off the rails?
ParticipantSorry – I misspoke when I said “user”. Assume that there is only a single user – me as admin. All of the Connections names are simply homeowners. It sounds like I am doomed. The only way to link the person with their entry is to create ~400 WP users.
I wonder if something like this might do that dirty work for me?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/members-import/Then I could use FORM and LINK to give them full access to their entry in Connections without even logging in. Correct?
