@ Arizona Lowe

In the other post you open you asked for an update which I had already posted in this thread, the day before, which is why I pointed you back here for that updated. As you see have multiple threads open for the same discussion is troublesome…

In both threads I did offer to install the next bugfix for you; one to be even more certain that it would address your particular issue; two so it would have been fixed for you while I hunt down and fix a few other edge case bugs.

Any way … I will be releasing 8.1.2 today (a day later that I had hoped) after I finish up responding to others in the support forum and after testing this fix on anothers users site who has a unique setup which exposed some other edge case bugs that needed to be tackled.

@ Edward

Looks like the “Return to top.” text has not yet been translated in to Russian. You could help with this.

Another real quick option is to use the Say What? plugin as described in this QuickTip

Hope that helps!

Oops …

I forgot the echo that’s needed because the function returns the data. The code would be:
<?php echo $entry->getMeta( array( 'key' => 'specialization', 'single' => TRUE ) ); ?>

What you could do for the label is this:

$spec = $entry->getMeta( array( 'key' => 'specialization', 'single' => TRUE ) );
if ( $spec ) echo "Label: $spec";

re: It seems unlikely anyone would want their field results in a section titled “Custom Fields”.
True … but since they can be anything to any user I have to use something as a default.

You can use these filters to control output:

1. cn_entry_output_content_block
2. cn_entry_output_content_block_container
3. cn_entry_output_meta_key
4. cn_entry_output_meta_container

These can be found in this file:
class.entry-data.php

You’ll have to refer to the code and play with them to figure them out but they should provide everything you need to complete control the output without having to edit the core Connections files.

Hope that helps!

re: Are there any paid templates that let me set Organization as the default entry
You do not need a template for this, you need a small code snippet that changes the default entry type. I’ll give you the instructions at the end of this post.

re: and then the fields to default Work fields?
Sorry, but there is no way that I can think of to do this.

re: Also, are there any that would allow me to delete the Work heading in the published listing?
Yes, all the premium templates, there are shortcode options they enable that can be used to remove the label completely. Another options, and perhaps the solution to the previous question I just answered is in this QuickTip.

Here’s the code snippet instructions for changing the default entry type…

1. Install the Code Snippets plugin.
2. Add a new snippet with the following code:

   function cn_default_entry_type( $atts ) {
   
       $atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';
   
       return $atts;
   }
   
   add_filter( 'cn_admin_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_default_entry_type', 11 );
   

3. Save and activate the new snippet.

Hope that helps!

@ Trevor

Wouldn’t those link be better added as website links? That way you could add the link and use the article title as the link title when adding the link.

@ jhabry

For now, that is the way it works. I did want to switch it to use the category slugs. It is a lower priority item at the moment, but is on my to do list.

@ Roland

I do recommend editing the table for ID1, changing it back to Uncategorized then add the category it was renamed to and then assign the entries to the newly added category.

Actually, I think you should be able to the ID1 category using the Connections : Categories admin page.

Hope that helps!

@ Roland

No, the category count does not take into account approved/non-approved, just all entries assigned. Creating a dynamic entry count assigned to categories. Now that Connections has some very good built in caching support (added in 8.1) I can start going thru the code and adding it so intensive things like dynamic categories can be done with very minimal performance impact.

@ Stefano

The issue was this was set in the wp-config.php file:
define('CN_IMAGE_BASE_URL', '/wp-content/connection_images/');

That would have been the incorrect base URL in the old Connections, not sure how that would have worked for you before … with the new Connections, that URL no longer is used which would cause the ERROR: The $img_path variable has not been set. error message.

After I remove that, Connections worked just fine.

Hope that helps!

@ Ciaran

I do not seem to have access to Connections / Plugins / the Plugin Editor…

Also, I’ll still need a temporary FTP account login.
