Doesn’t matter but I’d guess if I were doing it, I’d import users first. The only way it would matter is if your users starting logging in before they were imported into Connections. Even then, that is not all that bad because they will be searched for a link on their next login.

I hope that helps!

The latest version of CSV Import does support a pseudo update. If you add an Entry ID column to your CSV file and populate it with the Entry ID in Connections the data will be updated rather than duplicated.

I say pseudo update because data such as addresses, phone, email and such are deleted and re-imported. Info like the name, bio, notes and visibility are updated. Additionally the category associations and images retain their links to the entry.

So, from what you said, it does sound like the current updating support will meet your needs.

I do not mention it as a feature because it has only limited testing but those that are using it seem fine with it and not have reported any bugs.

I hope that helps!

The next version of Connections, in beta now, has completely revamped the image processing. Two important improvements include the removal of both third party libraries, TimThumb and class.upload.php, and responsive images with support for high density displays (retina).

This overhaul also includes one particular feature ideally suited for you situation. A new crop mode has been introduce (formally Ratio) which is perfect for logos … “Resize proportionally adjusting the size of scaled image so there are no margins added.” Put another the image will be scaled proportionally, it will not be stretched, to beta fit the dimensions entered without adding any margins (filler) at all.

Another nice change is that now when image size settings are changed, no longer do you have to reupload the image, it’ll be rescaled from the original and cached on demand.

If you’d like, you could run the beta. At this point I consider it production ready code … until I start in on the next major enhancements.

@ Ryan

yep … I am working on pretty neat solution but it will take a bit of time until it is release ready.

Thanks for taking the time to drop by and leaving the suggestion!

@ Jerry,

This is actually being cause by Formidable Forms Pro. They’re enqueuing an old version of a library named Chosen. The only solution right now seems to be to manually update that library in Formidable. Here’s a link to a FAQ that goes over what needs to be done.

I hope that helps!

It sounds like you may have copy/pasted shortcode from this site into the WP Visual editor. When copy/pasting from a web page into the Visual editor the HTML will also be pasted which in this case seems to be a link to this site.

To fix it…

Edit the page with the Connections shortcode on it, switch the editor from the Visual tab to the Text tab and remove any HTML tags from within and around the shortcode. Save the page. Now it should work as expected.

Here’s a link to a little QuickTip on working with shortcodes that you might find helpful since it does not apply only to Connections but every plugin which uses shortcode.

Hope this helps!

There are several fatal JavaScript errors that is killing the JavaScript on your site after the error which includes those used by Connections. You can view this yourself by opening the page in Chrome, hit the F12 key and then Click the Console tab.

My best guess, after looking at the page source, is that it is being caused by this line, <p><script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script></p>, right before the output of Connections. This is breaking the jQuery version bundled by WP and already enqueued in the page header.

And my best guess for the cause is the WP Customer Reviews plugin … that is, if you are using it as I can not know for sure. I’m making that guess based on a small snippet of JavaScript code that comes right after that line which contains two references of wpcr_respond_1. A quick Google search says its that plugin…

So, I suggest, if you are running that plugin, try deactivating it to see if the issues resoloved.

Let me know and I hope this helps!

@ Terri

Thanks for the suggestion! it on my todo list.

@ Carl

I just sent you a code snippet via email…

First install the Code Snippets plugin. Create a new snippet with the code I sent and save and activate it. Now the Profile template will have pagination.

Hope that helps!

@ Brett

The correct way to change the value is in this FAQ. If that does not change the bottom border and the name too, then the theme (most like) as style declarations which are overriding the ones set by the template. I would need you to share a link to your directory page and the color you want it to be changed to in order to offer a working solution. The details can be posted here as a private reply, but please immediately follow up with a public reply letting me know you posted the details. Right now I do not seem to be notified when private replies occur.

I do not really follow with what you’re asking about the checkboxes and search.

I will be implementing a CSV export. I hope this year, finally, but I’m not certain for sure. There’s been a decent amount of work already completed, by there is still very much more to do.
