Everything looks in order … can you share a link to the page having the issue?

Does/Did Connections and WordPress work fine with image before updating Connections to 8.1? It is nearly impossible image that neither GD or Imagick is not installed. GD is nearly universal. WordPress uses both but needs at least one. If neither of these are truly installed, you’ll have to contact the host there’s nothing I can do about that because that is server level software. Ensure one is installed will definitely address the scalar warning.

Could I get a temp admin account, I would love to check this out myself?

As for the state drop down. That is something I was going to include this last release but it didn’t make it … maybe the next one.

You’d have to manually edit a PHP file adding it. These are the two locations you’d have to edit:
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.1/includes/class.metabox-entry.php#L1257
https://github.com/Connections-Business-Directory/Connections/blob/8.1/includes/class.metabox-entry.php#L1477

You would have to change the type to select and add an options key which would be set to an associative array with the key being the state abbr and the value being the full state name.

Hope that helps!

Yes, though not point on click. You can use phpMyAdmin or similar tool to export the Connections tables from your WordPress installation as CSV files.

Alternatively you can use this. It is not a plugin. It is a separate PHP script and setup in somewhat complicated.

Hope that helps!

Can you attach a screen capture of the following:

1. The Connections : Settings admin page Images tab.
2. The page with the actual [connections] shortcode. The edit page in the admin, I need to see the exact shortcode you’re using.

On the Connections : Settings admin page under the Images tab for the Medium image, I recommend either of these options:
Resize proportionally to fit entire image into the specified dimensions and add margins if required.
Resize proportionally adjusting the size of scaled image so there are no margins added.

If you have image_width and/or image_height used in the shortcode, they will override the settings and use the default crop mode instead.

This seems to be related to the new HiDPI (Retina) image support added to Connections.

The error seems to be the image path can not be found. This is the actual error:

ERROR/s:

Image path does not exist.

When I look at the URL i see this:
http://www.compago.co.uk/cn-image?src=http://www.itshowcase.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/connections-images/dot-net-it-ltd/Dotnet_logo.jpg&cn-entry-slug=dot-net-it-ltd&w=200&h=240&zc=2

I would expect this:
http://www.itshowcase.co.uk/cn-image?src=http://www.itshowcase.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/connections-images/dot-net-it-ltd/Dotnet_logo.jpg&cn-entry-slug=dot-net-it-ltd&w=200&h=240&zc=2

The later does give me an image as expected.

I seem to recall dealing with this path difference with you before and you explained why the difference existed in your setup. Can you remind me?

@ Laura

Great to hear!

re: Slim Plus wasn’t showing up at all
PHP was probably timing out caching new images. I’ll have to reset the timer each time an image processing. That should fix that.

If you have a moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!

@ Steve

Ok, the duplicate page title should be resolved now. I’ve made this change to Connections so all future version will contain this fix.

The duplicate meta description is a little more difficult to fix. I’ll have to release an update to address it.

I scheduled this update to release next week. Apologies for the trouble!

@ Laura

What PHP version your web host has installed? The SKIP_DOTS wasn’t available until PHP 5.3. That leads me to believe that it is 5.2.x. The right thing to do would be for you to request your host to update your server to a newer (and supported, PHP 5.2 is no longer supported by its maintainers) version of PHP. I understand that may not be possible … if you can give me a temp admin account I can try applying a hotfix that should allow you to delete. If the hotfix resolves the issue for you, I would very likely roll the hotfix into an update.

re: Etc
What is the etc part … it kind of implies there are other issues? I visited the site and Slim Plus seems to working fine.

@ Margaret

This site http://megmccarthy.com/~tcvermont/ right? I just logged in an added a test entry. Seems to work fine. If I recall correctly, this entry was the only one that even had an image: http://megmccarthy.com/~tcvermont/?page_id=148 and it is still there.

We must be on two different sites???

Also, I released the official version. You should update from the beta.

@ Steve

Use the plugin editor or log into your site with FTP, download and edit the file, save and upload, overwriting the original.
