My coding isn’t that good to do this from scratch. Can you offer a snippet example of this? Thanks so much.

Is it possible to disable some of the fields available during import. The problem is that there are so many fields that we do not use and the ones we want to use I have had to add by following the “Custom Field – Adding a Text Field” quick tip that was posted. So when importing we have to scroll down a long list of fields that we don’t use to get to the custom fields that were added that we do use.
I would either like to:
1. disable the fields we don’t use so they don’t show up during the import session.
or
2. repurpose those fields that are already created by giving them a new name

Is this possible? Thank you.

Thanks Steven.

Thanks Steven for your response. I’ll use the default sidebar search.

OK – I found the answer to changing the default “uncategorized”. I completely missed this! I changed the name of “uncategorized” to my required category name by going to the category and changing the details – too simple!. Deleted all other categories and by default now all members are listed in the category name I created. Thanks Connections for making it easy.

This is a work around.
It’s never good to alter the core templates but when adding a new entry, to change the default “unlisted” publishing type to “public” I altered the file in connections/includes/class.form.php line 787. Change “unlisted” to “public”.

I still would really like to remove the default “uncategorized” option entirely and have only my created category as the default category so that people don’t have to select a category at all. But his may involve too much editing of core files. Can someone from Connections please advise.

Thanks.

I am having this same issue. Is there a way to change the default choice on all new entries to “public” instead of unlisted.
Thanks!
