Yes, that is correct. You need the CSV Import extension.

Hope that helps!

The is no relation to a individual entry and an organization. If there were, yes, some sort of relationship such as foreign key would make sense. Connections is not intended to build a directory where individuals are “assigned” to organizations. Generally users simply use Connections and similar plugins to build business lists/directories or people directories of individual within their business organization.

I know what you are seeking to do and I’ve done many custom jobs which list people within an organization.

Here’s a free extension that helps with that:

https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Entry-Organization

Download using the green button, install like any other plugin and activate.

Enter your organizations and then enter the individuals. When entering individuals you will only be able to select the previously entered when adding an organization to the entry.

Then you can customize templates and use any of the methods available within the addon plugin to get and output a list of people within an organization.

The addon is admittedly not a perfect solution and could be built out with more features to make it more broadly usable but it does do the job.

Hope this helps! Let me know.

Ok, I tracked this down to WP Easy SSL and its Cloudflare mode. This was actually quite difficult to track down because the way it alters content to make URL/s secure was also altering my debugging code I was outputting on the screen… I’m not saying that’s bad it was not showing me on screen what was actually happening in the code :/

I am not going to delve too deep in the technical details but here is what is happening.

With Cloudflare mode active a core WP function is_ssl() will return false when it should be returning true. This is known issue in WP that core WP does not want to fix and that the fix should be up to plugins such as WP Easy SSL which implement feature like Cloudflare support.

Since is_ssl() is a core WP function many, many, plugins rely on it being truthful including Connections.

To fix this issue I installed the CloudFlare Flexible SSL plugin. It is a no frills single purpose plugin that does only one thing. It sets the global server variable for SSL to on based on Cloudflare headers so is_ssl() will return the correct result.

The better fix… if you can report this issue to the WP Easy SSL support team, they could integrate the few lines of code CloudFlare Flexible SSL into their plugin so is_ssl() will be truthful when their Cloudflare mode option is enabled.

Hope this helps!

This has been tripping up a few users. I plan on tweaking the logic a bit to ensure if repeatable is disabled that the number of fields default to 1.

Apologies for the trouble!

[Steven Zahm]

@ Kim

On the Fieldset Config admin page, make sure the repeatable option is on and/or you have the number of fields to display to 1 or more.

Hope that helps, let me know.

It does seems to be working. Here’s a sample:

https://www.nmms.org/find-a-physician/?cn-cat-in%5B%5D=&cn-cat-in%5B%5D=&cn-zipcode=Albuquerque%2C+NM+87124%2C+USA&cn-radius=5.1&cn-latitude=35.2416127&cn-longitude=-106.69685529999998&cn-near-coord=35.2416127%2C-106.69685529999998&cn-unit=mi&cn-s=

I think the issue is that it seems only two (that I was able to find) entries have latitude/longitudes entered with their addresses.

Connections will geocode addresses when there are added but only if the geocoding service provider returns a match for the address.

The geocoding service provider defaults to OpenStreetMaps (OSM) now that Google charges for using is mapping services. Geocoding using OSM is sketchy, at best.

If a Google Map API is added, it will instead default to using Google as it has in the past.

The entries were imported two month ago by CSV import, correct? If it is, that was before the multiple geocoding service provider support was added, so geocoding would have default to Google. It is possible, you did the import prior to having the Google Maps API key setup, that they were blocking requests from your site.

For the entries in the 883451, edit the entry and hit the Geocode button by their address and then save the results. I suspect they will now be returned as a result. Let me know.

Ok, that install.php file was placed on the server 8/3/2018. So, either GoDaddy put it there or it was added by a plugin. My vote is on GoDaddy based on that support thread I found and shared with you.

This file is not part of the standard WordPress install. It is used solely for the purpose to run custom functions on installation of WP and should be removed afterward. You can learn more about this file here.

https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/77641/59053

Whatever added this file, it can not be deleted, downloaded or have its permissions changed (at least thru a FTP program like Filezilla). These actions simply error, permission denied.

Now, it can be renamed. So that is what I did. I added .old to the filename. Now Connections was able to be activated. The other plugins should activate fine too, but I did not try as it did not seem necessary.

Whatever this file is doing, it can not be much, judging based on its file size.

Hope this helps!

RE: I want to delete all, and then import all ?

On the Connections Manage admin page you can bulk delete entries.

RE: The search field by name or keyword … we want to search in the entire directory database. At the moment if we search for any key word such as cancer … How can we make the search by name of key word for the entire directory ??

The searchable field setting for the keyword search can be found on the Connections Settings admin page under the Search tab.

Hope that helps!

[Steven Zahm]

Great to hear. Looks great!

@ Matthew

Navigate to the Connections : Settings admin page and click the Display tab.

Scroll down to the Results List Content Blocks and enable the display of the split categories. There will be one option foreach which were split.

Now scroll down to the Single Entry Content Block and do the same.

Optional, disable the display of the Custom Fields option in both sections.

Save the settings.

Hope this helps!
