@ Peter

fyi, I received your email … I’ll reply back to that on my progress.

Which version of Connections and Link do you have installed? Make sure you have the latest of both. Connections, the latest is 0.8.14 and Link the latest is 2.0.2. I believe there was, very briefly, a version, where the CSS was not being loaded correctly on the Link admin page, but that was fixed.

Now, the only other time I’ve seen this happen I think it was either the theme or another plugin which did not limits its CSS to its own admin pages. Have you tried deactivating other plugins.

The page name should have no effect of the search working or not. Which template are you using and what version? Also, can you please share a link to the page having the issue. Lastly can you attach a screen capture of the Connections : Settings admin page, Search tab? Thanks!

I think this is the solution, finally!

I went out and got myself a Mac mini. Clicking the link opened the vCard right up in Addressbook confirming if I wanted to import. After clicking Import, the vCard imported without any issues. This was using Safari. In Chrome, the file downloaded into the Downloads folder. Double clicking the file opened it in Addressbook confirming the import. Again, it imported without issue.

Yes, it is a TimThumb error but it is being caused by the way the server permissions are setup/managed. In 99% of web hosts this isn’t an issue. The remaining seem to have tighter security policies. Not a bad thing, but does make simple things troublesome.

Could I get a temp admin account and FTP account so I can take a closer look?

Also, If you want, I have a beta version of Connections that I’m looking for some testers. I consider safe and ready to use in its current state. I’ve completely overhauled all the image code, removing the need for third party libraries such as TimThumb while adding support for responsive images and 2x HD (retina) images if the device supports it. I would need to the same access as I mentioned as above so I can make backup of the ../wp-content/connection_images/ folder. The new code closely follows the current WP best practices for where to save files. So they are moved, transparently, to a new location and folder structure. The backup will be top make sure no images get deleted that shouldn’t.

First, install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'screen_layout_columns', 'cn_screen_layout', 99, 2 );

public static function screenLayout( $columns, $screen ) {

	// Grab an instance of the Connections object.
	$instance = Connections_Directory();

	/*
	 * The Screen Layout options in the Screen Options tab only needs to be added on the manage page if performing an action to an entry.
	 * This is to prevent the Screen Layout options in the Screen Options tab from being displayed on the Manage
	 * admin page when viewing the manage entries table.
	 */
	if ( $screen == $instance->pageHook->manage && ! isset( $_GET['cn-action'] ) ) return $columns;

	$columns[ $instance->pageHook->manage ] = 1;
	$columns[ $instance->pageHook->add ] = 1;

	return $columns;
}

Save and activate. This should make the default layout one column.

To move the the category metabox to the other side, yes, you can use similar code to that found on SO.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_category_metabox() {
	
	remove_meta_box( 'categorydiv', 'users_page_connections_link', 'side' );
	add_meta_box( 'categorydiv', __( 'Categories', 'connections' ), array( 'cnEntryMetabox', 'category' ), 'users_page_connections_link', 'core', 'normal' );	
}

add_action( 'load-users_page_connections_link', 'cn_category_metabox' );

This snippet will only affect the Link admin edit entry page … its the one I think you really want to change, yes?

There’s not a really easy way to force position though. Oh, and it will not change the position and placement of users who have already visited the page.

Alternatively, you could probably use jQuery to do it for you. This SO answer provides a basic example which you could adapt to Connections.

I hope that helps!

@ Tim

The only way to do this would be to edit the card.php file found here:
../wp-content/plugins/connections-market/

The code to add would be:

preg_match( '/href="(.*?)"/', cnURL::permalink( array( 'slug' => $entry->getSlug(), 'return' => TRUE ) ), $matches );
$permalink = $matches[1];
echo '<a href="' . $permalink . '">Link</a>;

That should do it.

I highly recommend following this QuickTip to make this change update safe.

Hope that helps!

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

First, you should take a moment and read this QuickTip thoroughly … its important because this is the best way to load custom CSS files for a template in an update safe way.

Now, most font related styles ares inherited by the theme that is where the current font color and font family is being set, it is not part of Connections or cMap. The size is and can be overridden with this:

#cn-cmap .fn {
    font-size: inherit;
}

As for what other classes there are, you’re going to have to use the dev tools (F12) in the browser of your choice (mine is Chrome and IE11) to look for the ones that you want to change. I can’t really list them out because everything Connections renders on page is classed so it can be selected with CSS. It would take me several hours to find and list out every class being used.

I hope that helps!

Formidable Pro ship with an older version of Chosen which breaks Connections use of it. The only solution is to replace the version that ships with Formidable Pro with the newer version that ship with Connections.

Copy the files from this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/vendor/chosen/

to this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/formidable/pro/js/

That should fix the issue without breaking Formidable Forms.
